Beer Lunacy

The belgian is racked with some extra spices in the secondary fermenter. Even with the hibernation clone we are currently brewing, we are left with 2 empty carboys. Which leads me to a very important question: what are we doing with out lives gentleman? We need to get busy. If Shawn can make it over Saturday we are going to do 2 batches. An all grain saison outside and extract pumpkin porter inside. What follows is the recipe for the all grain saison.

0 8 Honey info

  1. Two empty carboys is a travesty. It's like I'm carrying them around like a scarlet letter, or something. THEY WANT BEER
