Brewing With Friends

Good Rat Todd and our friend Brad from Vancouver came over yesterday to watch me brew a batch of Nutty Brown Rat. They're hoping to start their own home brewing and wanted to learn from my mistakes. Before we could start the batch I led them to the tasting room where they were shown taps and instructed to have it. With the caveat that the Altbier needed to lager for a couple of weeks before it was truly ready to drink. That didn't slow them down since they not only tapped into the IPA but dived into the Altbier was well. I think they liked both. I can hardly wait for the Altbier to finish up.

What a beautiful day it was for brewing. We sat out on the deck and I burned some burgers for us during the brew process. The new Nut Brown will be a nice addition to the other two I have on tap. Hopefully I can restrain myself so there will be some left for the annual deck party.
