Waking up from Hibernation

After a long winter here in South Dakota that involved feet of snow and some super cold temps, I’ve finally gotten back around to posting here on my site. Lots of things have happened over the last few months in regards to my brewing setup. Among the more important things is my move/upgrade to an All-Grain setup. I’ll be honest, I’m still trying to work out the kinks and learn the ins and outs of my new setup. I have to say though, I love the amount of control and variations I can create with this setup. Many thanks to Clark with Toppling Goliath Brewing in Decorah for letting me watch an All-Grain brewing session. It really demystified the entire process for me. All that said, I’m in a flurry of brewing right now for multiple reasons. Obviously I want a stockpile of brew on hand for the summer. That said, I also am scrambling to produce beer to enter in to the recently announced Granite City “Brew Off”. On top of all that, I’m also hoping to take a variety of beer with me to Iowa in April when Jessica and I go to visit my parents. I love having friends family etc sample my brew to get general reactions. I was really hoping to give some samples to the aforementioned Clark with TGB but it sounds like he will be out of town at the Craft Brewers Convention in Chicago. Oh well, I’ll just secret shop his tasting room and drop off some bottles.
Anywho, back to work. Check back as I hope I really can be diligent with posting and updating stuff here.
