Sanitize. Sanitize. Sanitize.

And don't get too drunk while brewing. I almost fugged up a sixty dollar batch.

[PantherBrew]

This is said 60 dollar batch.

It is an Apricot IPA. Made with Amarillo (whole leaf), Cascade, and Warrior Hops.

The apricot flavor comes from homegrown apricots from my parents backyard that were pureed and put into the fermenter.

It is going to one stout batch. I am thinking about 9% alcohol. I am trying to mellow that by adding oak chips to the secondary.

[Kettle]

i've stopped multi-tasking too. i boiled over on the stove cuz i was sanitizing my fermenter, and not paying attention to what the wort was doing.

[Kettle]

This was my choice for the 4th. I really like porter, and the label on this one sold me. It's 6.7%, malty and a moderate amount of bitterness. It's definitely something I'll buy again.

[Floppin]

I love porter, I'll have to try that.

[CharlotteBeer.com]

Old Leghumper is one of my favorite porters.

If you're into porters, you should try a Baltic porter. They usually just have a bit less roast and lots of rich, dark fruit notes (figs, plum, raisins, etc.). It just might be my favorite style.

[Epistaxis]

Oh my.

I was treated to a fantastic brew this weekend.

Three Floyds Robert the Bruce Scottish Ale.

Might replace Guinness Extra Stout as my fave.

Grab a Harris Teeter brand beer

Harris Teeter says customers will soon be able to buy three varieties of private-label beer at its stores. The move follows the trend of retailers trying to boost profits by pushing their own brands as lower-priced alternatives to national labels.

Called Barrel Trolley, Harris Teeter says the new beers are intended to give customers another option when shopping for craft beer. Barrel Trolley will be available this month at Harris Teeter locations that sell alcohol.
