Brew Batch #46 REINKE'S REVENGE 2011
Bottled/kegged up Reinke's for the year. The 1st pre-keg swill was amazing. I guess I've altered the original so much that I had lost sight of what the real recipe and feel was like. The roasted coffee is straight forward, there's no beating around the bush with this one. This is the nerdy kid in high school that says, "The hell with it, I'm asking the popular girl to prom" kind of straight forward. I can't wait to see what this one is like after being on gas for a while or in the bombers. Speaking of which this year's crown is something special. In school I couldn't ever afford the labels I wanted so I settled for doing customized crowns. (See post below) FG ended up at 1.016+ 0.001 @69F to yield about an even 9%abv.
