Enjoyed a beautiful Sunday morning brewing a blonde ale. Something new for us, we sourced sourdough yeast bread yeast from a coworker to ferment this beer. Excited to see the results!

Had an absolute blast today! Grafted apple varieties Golden Russet, Gold Rush, Kingston Black, Ashmead’s Kernel and an unknown family heirloom apple tree ( mother tree is 45+ years old and is the source for our “Family tree cider”). We are looking foreword to planting and sharing the ciders made from these trees for many years to come with you all!

So we are trying our hand at a new beer and new techniques! What’s going on we had 2 gallons of pear juiece leftover from the fall when we made a pear cider, started by toasting apple wood to a medium toasted level for wood aging. Next used good belly probiotic added it to the wort kept at 100 degrees Fahrenheit for a day to lightly sour the beer and add some acidity. Then brought to boil added comet hops and co fermented with our pear juice. Will it work we have no idea but always willing to try something new and give it the ole college try! Looking to debut this at MT. Vernon brewers festival.

Had a blast today! Finally figured out a good way to filter our homebrew. Filtered and kegged our new beer “sling blade” a sweet potato amber that we were surprised how much color the sweet potatoes added. It was kegged and added cinnamon bark to it for aging

Good help is always appreciated in the brew house.
