Seems like forever since I brewed. But the Penguins are back! Brewing up the annual Evil Penguin Pumpkin Ale. It'll be ready 6 November. I love the smell of wort :-)

After a long hiatus, Penguins at Midnight is back at brewing. We brewed an American Pale Ale last Saturday and it's fermenting quite nicely. Cheers.

Penguins have been offline for awhile, but things are coming back together. I completed a few brewery upgrades that Gwenn and I started awhile back. Two of the biggest upgrades were on the chillers. I added a new 50 foot chiller coil for the boil kettle and used the old 25 foot coil as a pre-chiller for the new coil. The 25 foot coil was installed in another ice chest. These chiller coils are used to chill the wort down as fast as possible after the boil. Then the original ice chest that was used to provide chilled water to the fermenter, was insulated. Adding insulation means that I won't have to change the ice jugs as often. Penguins at Midnight is now ready to brew during the summer.

It is with sadness that I have to make the notification that Gwenn, brewer and meader, passed away Sunday, at the Summerville Medical Center. She will be very much missed

Mike made me a Heineken lager clone.
Low ABV, low hops, high appreciation.

Just completed a 336 Day PMI on the brewery. My Air Force friends how detailed a 336 day is. Anyway, tomorrow, , we're brewing a Danish lager. Lagers are abit more complicated than ales on temperature control. Brewing is fun
