Brew Batch #44 REINKE'S REVENGE 2010

Just racked it over onto 3 pounds of Red Raspberry purée. I'll let it sit for a few more weeks just enough to take on some raspberry flavor and not blow off the aromatics too much. This is the second RR batch I've changed from the original in that I am allowing it to secondary on something to bring other flavors forward. Let's keep our fingers crossed, fruit makes me nervous.

Brew Batch #45 Hopbursted IPA

Getting ready for the summer already, The Enabler and I ripped a POUND of hops into a 5 gallon batch this afternoon. Everything was lack-a-dazakle until we had to start hopbursting this beer and then every minute was consumed by measuring, timing and dumping. We barely had time to finish A beer. OG 1.072+0.001 @72F. I am really looking forward to bombering and keggin' this batch.
