Test Batch Update ["Best-Laid Plans" Edition]
Sunday 29 June 2008 Filed in: Test Batches
| Old Walt
Smoked Wit Beer | 6ixth Sense
Ale |
Suckerpunch
Was all set today to
brew a test batch of the 6ixth Sense Ale
(Belgian-style golden ale,
formerly known as "Suckerpunch Belgian-Style Strong
Golden Ale"), when I discovered that a crucial
burner is malfunctioning. While the burners under the
brew and mash kettles are operating fine, the burner
under the kettle that is used to prepare the water
for mashing and sparging is acting oddly. Oddly
enough to cause safety concerns, and not just reduce
efficiency or effectiveness.
My amateurish plumbing attempts were to no avail, so I'll be calling in the services of a licensed plumber who knows what he (or she) is doing. However, no test batch today. :(
No brewing didn't mean I didn't get to have some fun, I did the next best thing -- another round of cleaning and sanitation, just to keep things flowing along in the ol' SABCO.
Meanwhile...The yeast in the test batch of the Old Walt Smoked Wit brewed two weeks ago are still happily working away. Am looking forward to keg and bottling it up soon.
