It feels like I have not brewed a beer for fun in a long time. Don't get me wrong. I loved brewing beer for the wedding but it's time to brew beer and not have to worry about 150 people liking it. A brew day is coming and it will yield a Heady Topper clone. I have been wanting to try one of the New England IPAs for a long time now. Hope my version comes out good.
More importantly I finally went to my parents and got my tap gear that has been at their place since the wedding. So that means Vorpbrew is back open. I had a Mexican Mocha Stout last night and it still tastes great. It really has not aged at all in the keg. Tasted the same as it did almost three months ago.
I also drank a Roosters Red when the Pens won the cup on Sunday. After a year in the bottle it seems to be losing some of its punch. One thing I need to keep in mind is this beer is now almost three years old. Its losing some of its crisp sourness that it had last year when I first drank one. Its becoming a more deep and rounder flavor. I like it crisper. Just my preference though.
Can not wait to brew this IPA and get it on tap so I can have a nice beer to sip on the deck. I also want to get my sour program back on target with my normal timing.
Up next: an actual brew day post!
