Going All-Grain or: How my garage smells like puke

posted by Jon

Thanks to a substantial investment by Ryan W, KSB has made the jump to all-grain. I've got pictures of the whole set-up that I will post at a later date.

Last week Saturday we brewed our first all-grain batches, Sorry to Say DIPA and Ponzi Scheme Berliner Weisse.

Hello? Is there anybody in there?

Yes. I know. KSB has gone AWOL. No worries, mates. You'll get your beer.

I've been getting a bit burnt out with the idea that I have to brew at least one batch a month. It's been too long though. I miss it. The plan is to have one day a month for the next three months when I brew two batches to get caught up. After that I will still probably do two beers at a time. It's just easier that way.

Next Saturday, April 14, we will be brewing Sorry to Say DIPA and Ponzi Scheme Berliner Weisse. Ryan A is brewing a DIPA on Friday with a friend so we will be brewing from the same basic recipe in order to compare once they are ready. The Saturday brew day will likely last most of the afternoon/evening. Feel free to stop by. Bring beers to share if you feel inclined.

One of the nice things about brewing 6 beers between March and May is that they will all be ready in late spring or summer. We'll be shying away from the Imperial Stouts and Belgian Quads for a bit.

Just nod if you can hear me.
