we brewed up our cascadian dark ale (Fang Maker) this weekend. the hop bill in the batch included 12 oz of hops: 2 oz summit, 2 oz simcoe, 2 oz centennial, 2 oz cascade, 2 oz amarillo, 2 oz ahtanum.we hit an og of 1.065, a little lower than we were hoping for but it should still be delicious.

we also ordered a new 1/2" racking cane, some 5.2 buffer, and a little batch we like to call "kimosabe reloads". its a revision of the kimosabe recipe but with a little more base malt. we'll be brewing this fella in a couple weeks.

nice boil, 10 oz of hops waiting to do work

we successfully bottled and wax dipped our winter beers on saturday afternoon. ended up with (22) Peacemaker and (24) Abomin-Ale. while bottling we did some taste testing:

Peacemaker has a butterscotch aroma and tastes like sweet vanilla bean blended with rich dark chocolate. with an 8.5% abv, we guarantee it will keep you warm this winter.

Abomin-Ale has a dominant apple aroma and a complex taste. with every sip you can pick out the anise, orange, and cinnamon. clocking in at 10% abv, we recommend sharing it with a friend.

labels coming soon.
