Brew Batch #181 Occasionally

Hit the keg after a good crash to recollect some Wyeast 2124. FG 1.004-0.001 @54F to give it 5.6%. Pretty much in line with last year's batch. I have high hopes for this one in about a month's worth of lagering. Still can't believe that lager yeast is that strong.

I missed my opportunity at a 114F Heat Index day, but this is the warmest day I thought we'd have left. Celebrated the 3.75 mile journey with Westbrook's Marzebier 2023. A fine nutty libation. Next up Fall Balls?

Brew Batch #182 That Effing Hairpiece in your Bathroom

Inspired by the horrific long brown wig that used to reside on the counter at my old brew buddy's old house, I brewed this Impy brown. On more than one occasion, I imbibed a beer or two there and upon entering the bathroom for relief was horrified by this monstrous long brown wig his daughter used to spread out on the counter. OG 1.064+0.001 @79F. Hoping for about 7% then I'll barrel-age it a bit for some real fun.
