Whats On Tap, November 2018
Sun November 18 2018 by Christopher Aedo
Sticking with my promise to update the blog when I rotate what's on tap, here comes November's entry.
The last round of beer lasted pretty long. That's due to only having one bbq party, and me drinking less beer these last few months.
First up is another pale ale. Basically same recipe as last time except no clarifying agents (usually I throw a whirlfloc tab in), and I threw the dry hops in while the yeast was at high krausen. As expected it came out very hazy (NE IPA style), and has really good hop aroma. I love this one!
The porter is a toasty malty wonderful beer to have on tap for the winter season. It could handle aging a while, but it's pretty good fresh out of the fermenter.
Finally I've got the holiday ale, your classic winter warmer. Not much to say about this one other than I expect it to be a big help getting me through the rainy winter months ahead.
