Tomorrow I will be heading out of town to attend a homebrew party. I'm very excited. I got the pilsner and the red eye bottled over the weekend, so all I have left to do is figure out how to fit all the beer bottles in my luggage.
I also brewed on Sunday, my attempt at a Baltic Porter. I think it went rather well. Racking the chilled wort onto the bed of yeast left from the brown was a good choice - the beer was starting to foam up within a few hours. However, when I checked on it the next day, the foam had filled the carboy, pushed through the airlock, and made a dark sticky mess all over the place. I will take that as a good sign. This is going to be some dank ass beer. Yum Yum Yum.
So, look forward to an entry early next week with a recap of the big weekend. This is really the only time I hang out with other brewers, sample and evaluate beers, and eat and drink until I think I'm going to explode. Needless to say, it will be great.
