Big changes afoot...

First bit of news... I will now be kegging most of my beers in the future. The occasional beer will still be bottled, like the holiday beer I am brewing this x-mas day to be enjoyed over next year's holiday(more on that another time)... or if my kegs are nowhere near finished and I am itching to brew another batch and so have no where to put it.... but other than situations like those, future batches will go directly into the keg from the secondary. This will speed up the time-to-consumption by removing the 2+ week conditioning period usually required. So no more priming sugars and no more month-long waits from brew day to drink day. Also, if you are a regular recipient of my brews, then you can expect growlers instead if bottles.

My first beer to be poured from the kegerator is a dry-hopped American Brown Ale styled beer. This is very much like batch 11, but this one contains all Cascade hops. I brewed it a little over a week ago and plan to move it from the secondary to the keg tomorrow.. assuming it is ready. If all goes to plan, I will be making my first pull from the kegerator on x-mas eve.

To see more about the creation of the kegerator, visit the new page I created to document the process. And speaking of mybrewing, there are other changes made, as well. So check it out.... (nothing overly exciting and no huge amounts of content... but a little more to look at.. a little change.)

And stay tuned to learn more about the 2 batches I have planned for christmas day brewing...

Cheers...
