    2005 - 07.24

    Wow the weekend was full of excitement.  On Saturday, early, we went to to the brew shop to buy supplies for batches five and six.  As for five and six we have decided to rebrew batches one and two.  This time we brew them the experimental way we intended!  For example batch one has an ounce of lactic acid and two cans of raspberry puree in it!  This time the raspberry taste is detectable and the stout is brewed similarly to Guinness.  As for batch two we have finally found some barley that will produce the smoky taste we wanted.  We as of yet haven’t tasted it to see if it is on target.  ANY WAY…  Saturday evening we tasted batch two and in our opinions it is the best batch to date…  of course it happens to be the second batch…  On Sunday, earlier then Saturday, we returned to the brew shop and had the guy try our beer…  To our amazement he said it was good and appreciated it higher then we did.  He gave us techniques for batch six that we applied.  He is our hero of the week.  The suggestions allowed us to brew the wort clearer and easier then before.  Much much less mess, much much quicker cool down and pitching.  Also that Sunday we speced out an experimental brewing interment we are going to make August 12ish.  It will cool down our beer instantaneously if we build it properly.  Stay tuned to see how batch three goes when we open it this Saturday…
