Where You Been!?!

I realize It's Been a while, so I'll fill you in. After the hole incident I had a few days off and it was right back to the grind. Did 3 commercials; Sony in the fish market, Sony Baseball and some crazy commercial about rabbit feet.

My co-worker/boss makes fine furniture as a hobby/passion I told him I made beer now he wants some, actually he has been wanting some for a long time now so with a week off from work and my social schedule thinned out I finally had time to start brewing. I brewed three batches which is CRAZY as it takes all day to do a batch practically.

The first batch I did was a spin off of Sam Adams Boston Lager. I added some oak chips for that cask flavor from the olden days with out having to go through with the off flavors that come with the oak barrels. Second is a Guinness style stout. I added more chocolate malt because everyone likes chocolate! I'm thinking of getting a Guinness Tap to get that creamy head that Guinness is known for... (U Sick-O) It costs about $75 so I don't know if it it is worth it. The third is an IPA, on this one I added more hops and more alcohol. I'm thinking of adding oak chips to this as well as originally the IPA was shipped from England to India and the extra hops were added as a preservative, now they are added for fun and flavor. They should be done in about three weeks. I'll let you know how they tasts
