Brewing news

I haven't talked much about beer lately. I do so love beer. Here's an update on the homebrewing activities in the Did I Say/Center of NJ house:

We have a Marzen in secondary fermentation, where it can stay for a long time, but since it's been about two months we have got to get it into bottle soon (maybe this weekend.) We put a Wheat beer into primary fermentation this weekend, and it's bubblin' away! We used German hops and a Belgian Wit yeast, so it should be a simple wheat beer with a lot of flavor. The ESB we bottled a while back is good- strong, strong hop presence and flavor, almost IPA-like in character.

We get most of our homebrewing supplies from The Brewer's Apprentice in Freehold. It's a brew-on-premises operation as well, and they handle both beer and winemaking. It always smells great when you walk through the door there.

Maybe I'll go see what's cold right now...
