Back On the Wagon!

The brewing wagon that is! ha ha! And in my haste to get back on I momentarily forgot that I'm in Missoula, Montana, and damed if it isn't a little tricky to find every ingredient out here a day before brewing. Don't get me wrong, we have an excellent selection of just about everything you could want at one of our three homebrew supply stores, but sometimes certain hops or specialty grains, and especially various yeast strains are tough to find, if at all. For those tricky things the internet works just fine. The only catch there is that you have to give it a little advance notice. You can't decide on Friday to brew a brown Saison on Saturday and necessarily expect to find Saison yeast.

You know what? In this case, the important thing was just brewing again. Getting back on the wagon so to speak. I hadn't brewed for nearly three months or more. I thought the brew day was going to be quite the train wreck too. I was to have my neighbor over and wax eloquent all day about the intricacies of brewing as we went through the process. I assumed it would go down as more of a fumbling scramble, but it was surprisingly hiccup free. Aside from not hitting the gravity I wanted, and not quite understanding the results of some new equations I was trying out, things went perfectly and stress free. As for the yeast, I settled on a Belgian strain. Nothing wrong with a nice Belgian brown ale for the fall!

Anyhow, it's good to be back. Cheers!
