Often times the opportunity to get to the homebrew shop coincides with time I'm taking care of my daughter. She's at the age where getting into the bins in the grain room and pulling out handfulls of grain is a concern. When I went to pick up the ingredients for the Bi-Partisan Porter, she was with me and trying to police her and get my materials resulted in me pouring a pound of Crystal 60 into the bag of grains instead of 120. So, I needed to think of a beer to make with the result and decided to make a brown ale.I added some Vienna and caramunich to the chocolate and 2-Row. I used some Perle hops for bittering and used up some remaining hops I had, East Kent Goldings and a small bit of Admiral in the finish. I think it should turn out nicely.
I've been really happy with the Frozen Beard Winter Ale and Bi-Partisian porter, which are both ready. The coffee comes out very nicely in the Bi-Part porter and there's some nice spicy notes and caramel sweetness in the Frozen Beard. I will be giving a review of both shortly.
I've also been enjoying some great homebrews sent to me by Muckney Brewing. I'll be posting the reviews shortly as well. Thus far I've had an excellent Russian Imperial Stout, and equally good Saison and Peach Saison. Stay tuned.
Salud!

Hey I'm curious what your recipe looks like. Keep us posted!
I remember those days. At our LHBS they have all the grains pre-weighed in pounds, but they are also a hydroponic and organic growing supplies store, and my daughter would undo stacks of black plastic training pots, and build castles. She would also take all the caps out of the bin, put them somewhere else and pretend they were the day's dinner. Good times! In the end, it's beer, and its good.
Ben,
I'll post the recipe once I review the beer. Should be ready to drink/review in a week or so. Thanks for the interest.
