Brew Day

Today Travis Moore and I brewed 10 gallons of beer! 2 beers in fact. He brewed an Amber of his own creation which impressively was a partial mash using some hallertauer and sterling hops and irish ale yeast. The other impressive thing is that Travis is growing his own Cascade hops outside! Sweet.

I brewed a Belgium Wit complete with the two things you see below: orange zest and coriander. Just used 8oz. of flaked wheat, 7 lbs. wheat extract, and hallertauer hops and Belgium Wit yeast. The wheat beer is the one on the right which from looking doesn't look white at all, which we resolved when we tested it in the hydrometer. It is indeed white! woohoo. I think that is going to be a good summer beer.
