Brew Batch #169 Occasionally

Let no Bohemian Wyeast 2124 go to waste! Time for a German Pils for the summer comp circuit. Almost all pils with a splash of carapils for head and Saaz out the wazzoo. OG 1.044+0.00@70F. Thanks to CBB for the yeast pitch. 

Brew Batch #168 Jake's Juice v2.3

For the batch that rivals Reinke's Revenge in brew attempts this one hit the keg at 1.004-0.001@61F to yield a nice 4.2% (hopefully) crushable bevvy. That ramped up 2565 Kolsch yeast got down! Starting the summer light brew lineup. 

For the Outdoorsman?

I'm an outdoor guy with a family of the same. We dig animal stories and I've always marveled over the story over the USS Indianapolis, I guess in part because I'm a Jaws fan but that it was told in such a surreal and factual manner. There were 1195 men aboard, approximately 300 went down with the ship while the remaining 890 went into the water to face what awaited with only 316 survivors. So in all, the sharks could've taken the 574 but dehydration and seawater poisoning probably claimed many. The wreckage was just found in 2017! And as of Thanksgiving 2021 there are only 3 remaining survivors. 

Then there's this story about pissing off the US Navy in WWII. All of sudden knowing what's in those mangroves bothers me.

Brew Batch #168 Jake's Juice v2.3

Returning to an oldie but a goodie with a pound of local honey. Ah yes, I see many light quaffers this summer as we're to hit 90F already at the beginning of May here. OG 1.036+0.000 @72F. Off by 9 points on BE but was a pound short on grain as I await my mega summer order through CBB. Monster 2565 Kolsch yeast pitch may make up any difference.
