Brew Day!

We finally got back to the grind this weekend after too long of a gap between this brew and the success that was Gipple Tripel. This past weekend saw the creation of a beer yet to be named. The name is still a work in process, but the recipe is not... What we have concocted here is going to be a copacetically quaffable brew.
Using roughly a 50/50 mixture of pilsen and wheat malt, as well as a little Belgian biscuit, we lightly hopped this ale with Willamette and cascade hops. Once in the primary ferementer, we proceeded to add a behemoth amount of organic blueberry juice to give this brew a nice summer vibe.


(Brewette adding some bittering hops. First face on this blog I do believe.)


Finally a yeasty mixture of White Labs Cal ale yeast and Kolsch ale yeast were added to the carboy. It didn't take long for fermentation to kick off as this brew was bubbling after only about five hours. Currently she's chilling at a comfy 70 degrees F and will be ready to bottle in about a week. There may be a slight delay as secondary fermentation may be necessary in order to add even more blueberry... but that is to be determined...
