This marks the first of many blog posts we'll make in the coming year (and perhaps beyond) in which we profile a pilot batch. We want to be ready to pounce on some really exciting beers right out of the gate, so we'll be refining a few concepts until the brewery opens. Who knows what Good Beer #1 will be, but it could be an iteration of one of these pilot batches... if not, at least we'll share some great beer stories along the way.
Homebrew Batch #45: Brewed five weeks ago, this Belgian specialty ale is delicious. It fermented to a gravity of 1.001 and is 5.9% alcohol by volume. It also sports a lofty 59 IBU's with a big portion of the IBU's coming from late kettle hop additions. The hops were Citra leaf hops and they compliment the Belgian characteristics quite well. The overall impression is a citrusy and bready Belgian beer with a dry finish. Oh! This beer will be served at the Southern California Homebrew Festival in Ojai next month, so keep an eye out and let us know what you think!
More to come: Yesterday was a brew day at the pilot home brewery and all the carboys are loaded up.
