In it's 15th year of brewing it seemed only fitting that in the year of 'Rona I make Reinke's Revenge a mega stout. A few minor changes included some UK Kent Goldings on the tail end instead on Willamette, pushed the gravity to 1.131+0.000@65F to hopefully yield a 13.8% winter sipper. Then I'm planning some maple, pecan and ghost pepper additions. Should be as memorable as 2020 has been so far.

Motown MASH 2020
Out of 228, I sent It Ain't Helen...Georgia and Wallaby Water (pronounced Wa-duh) for my Festbier and Australian Sparkling entries. 27 on the Helen (apparently shipping was not my friend) as it came across oxidized but I can tell you from the draft tap it's smooth malty goodness with a touch of bitter. Wallaby Wa-duh the judge was keen on. Typically, Pride of Ringwood is used, but I opted for some Galaxy and it came across slightly floral yielding a 32. Maybe it would fair well reclassified?

When Doves Rye
A year to the day that the first batch of Ikigai went into Le' ARTHUR, we kegged up When Doves Rye. Still at a solid FG 1.031, this 11.5% barrel aged barleywine promises to be chock full of raisins, toffee and sweet tobacco leaves with a slight woody nod. After this, the plans for Le' ARTHUR are to top him off with blonde ale (possibly from a local brewery) and funk him up for 12-18 months. RP kept his share as-is from the barrel but Corey has decided his allotment would best be served with coconut, vanilla and cinnamon. Get your 8oz pour while supplies last.

Brew Batch #151 KeeWeePe v1.1
Slid nicely into a keg today to give me a couple of lagers and a sparkling ale on tap to enjoy for the next little while. FG 1.004+0.000@ 54F to give a perfect 5.4% on probably a 10th or 11th generation Czech Pils pitch. It was a good one, going all the way back to the original "Pee" and Mas Salsa. Got this lager stuff down pat.
