I'm planning several beers for the remainder of the Summer and on through the holiday season so this weekend I stocked up on raw materials.
I want to make a Bock, an Octoberfest, an Altbier, English Pales and, of course my whole line of American Ales. Blonde, Pale, Amber, Brown, Stout and Steam Beer. An English IPA and a Porter will likely make an appearance as well.
I've got 21 grains and 5 yeasts. I will need a couple of ounces of hops here and there but that will be a minimal expense. I already have a couple of pounds of my core hops. Cascade, Centennial, Columbus, Citra, Northern Brewer, Magnum, Glacier, Amarillo and Hallertauer. A half pound of Kent Goldings and Saaz will round me out for the cool brewing season.
I should be able to make a dozen batches with what I've got here and that will take nearly 6 months. The savings will be felt in the price per pound of grain.
I'm excited.
The IPA is almost finished and ready to be packaged. I think I'll keg it up later this week.
The other batch is in bottles on the right in this photo.
Good Beer To You.
