Brewery operations this past weekend included bottling of the Northern Brewer Extra Special Bitter (Saturday) that was brewed on 3/24. Opted to bottle all as I think this type of beer ages better in a bottle versus a keg. Should be ready for consumption on/about 4/5.
Sunday evening, got everything together and brewed a clone of Stone IPA. Used a recipe from a kit that was purchased from Austin Home-brew Supply. Increased the malt from 8 to 9.15 pounds of Pilzen malt and used White Labs British Ale Yeast.
SG came up to about 1.064. Should have been a little better than that as the orig recipe was for 1.066. Should have reached that easily with the extra 1.15 pounds of extract. Time will tell. If all goes well, this will be one of the first brews that will make it to a local establishment for sampling and (hopefully) the start of some sort of "demand" for products from the Broken Oar.
