Not actually brewed by Formation Brewing Co, yet fermented in full by us. On 2/11/21 when Andrew McNally at CommonBond Brewers had about 16 extra gallons of his Zelda Blonde wort, RP and I put 10 gallons on Safale 05 and my 6 or so on some Wyeast 2565. Though Le' Arthur has lost most of his barrel character and his spirit has yielded doesn't mean that he is useless. Time to create FBC's House of Funk. So as of now those 16 or so gallons of blonde ale now sit on a blend of MO microflora harvested from Side Project Balaton #1 and Monday Night's Beyond the Clouds Brett dregs. We'll see what we see in the next 12-18 months.

Brew Batch #155 No Taters
FG is 1.002-0.001@ 53F to give a perfect 5%. The color is spot on and the touch of bitter from the Simcoe seems in line. There's a nice caramel malt tone to it. I can't wait to see what this is like with some CO2 conditioning to give it a creamy tight head.
Brew Batch #155 No Taters
(Totally forgot to hit publish on this, but) FG 1.002-0.001 @57F to give it a solid 5% quaffability. I like this recipe but am somewhat concerned on how the Simcoe for bittering will come across as opposed to more traditional hops like Willamette or Kent Goldings. Either way this one is headed to a comp if they open this year.

Brew Batch #155 No Taters
It won't be ready for St. Paddy's day but it's my earnest attempt at all-graining a recipe I haven't done in probably 15 years. OG 1.040+0.001 @ 73F is just about expected but I know good yeast can make up the difference. Hopefully, this'll be my Killian's but better.
