The first brew at the new house was back in May. It turned out to be a delightful porch pounder. Despite some issues with the decoction mash, it was a drinkable and very refreshing beer.
Merry Christmas, I got an amazing gift from my wife, a used ~3gal whiskey barrel from local distiller Heritage Distilling. In homage to one of my favorite local breweries I fired up a Fremont B-Bomb Clone. It is the largest and darkest grain bill to date. Coming in at a whopping 14% ABV that really pushed the US-05 yeast to the limit. About half of the 5gal batch ended up in the barrel.
It was such a hit the first time that I fired up a second batch with a few tweaks. It was a gorgeous afternoon right before my birthday and an excellent brew day.
