equipment upgrades

it's been over a year since our last equipment upgrade. today, we are retiring the turkey fryer for a new blichmann burner, and to start the burner off it's another round if morita mascada(aka chipotle ale).

the new burner is fast and hot. one boilover just after mashout. it'll take some extra care until we get used to the new efficiency.

next up: chocolate, marsmallows and graham crackers going into a russian imperial stout

More Chipotle!

Due to high demand, another batch of chipotle is in the fermenter....
whole chipotles add smoke and spice to this ruddish amber ale

chip bottled

chipotle is done conditioning.... first crack for army-navy coming up soon

granny

10 gallons of granny smith are in the fermenters. og: 1.055

Sandy Marzen

With a hurricane day yesterday, I took the Marzen out of lagering and found some bottles for it.  It won't be ready for the October release goal, but maybe there'll be Novemberfest instead
