Whats Brewing? October 2010 # 2

Now that I have Septembers' recipe posted, I can move on to the curent brewed batch. The current brew is called, Autumn Amber Ale. This one has a nice blend of roasted (light, medium, and chocolate barley). It is currently in secondary fermentation stage and has a really nice smell to it in the red/brown color. Stay tuned to the review.

Whats Brewing? October 2010

I apologize for missing my September posting. The Septmber brew was called Hoeny Bee Ale, from Midwest Supplies. This is a new style of specialty brew that has already been bottled and sampled (October 27, 2010). It contains 3.3 lbs of gold malt extract and a whopping 3 lbs of fresh honey.

The verdict, its a light ale with a pleasant honey aroma and aftertaste. Its, a little bit weak on the hop flavor, so my overall opinion is that it need a bit more hopping to round off the flavors better.
