Wednesday cometh…
Tuesday, February 22nd, 2005Well, I kegged my Abbey Tripel tonight (3rd I’ve done, 1st of my own recipe). I’m so stoked. It was crystal clear even in the secondary… so of course the finish product will be crystal clear provided I don’t have a nasty lurking in the keg. I cleaned for 1 hr with PBW and sanitized for about 30 minutes with Iodophor, so I gotta believe it’ll be fine. I also have some 3 gallon cornies ready for the BEAST. That’s right - my EVIL EVIL oak-aged vanilla imperial porter will be kegged within the next week. Weep and despair world! WEEP AND DESPAIR!! MWAA AHAA HAA HAA! Ahem.
HDYB is checking on the availability of Servomyces for me. I’m dying to use this white labs yeast superfood in my next big belgian - Alucard Strong Ale. I’m hoping it’ll be black as midnight, smooth, and somewhere close to 9%ABV. That ought to be a good swift kick to the liver.
FSB.com Recipe submittal page works just fine. Oliver did submit his BeerSmith recipe in BeerXML format for his upcoming “On The Dole” Robust Porter. The gravities and %ABV are definitely wrong, but that was the output from BeerSmith, not our site.
My 3-roll grain mill from CrankAndStein.com ships on Thursday. I can’t wait to try that bad boy out. The Alucard Strong Ale will probably be its first victim.
