21st & 22nd Brews - March 28th & May 2nd - Hellerbock & ????

We have set the date for the next two brews. The next brew will be on March 28th. We will be making a Maibock/Hellerbock style beer. I don't have any details on the recipe yet, but will post them when I get something substantial.

After that, the next brew will be on May 2nd. I decided to go ahead and plan ahead for this date because it is National Homebrew Day (a.k.a. Big Brew Day). This is a brewers association sponsored event that seeks to promote homebrewing across the world. On national home brew day, home brewers are expected to participate in a "Big Brew", where a group a brewers collects at one site to brew together. Last year "more than 10,500 gallons were brewed by almost 4000 participants at 242 sites on six continents worldwide.  Sites were registered in 42 states in the US, as well as in Argentina, Australia, Brazil, Canada, England, Israel, Kenya, The Netherlands, Russia, and Uryguay." I have registered my residence as a site for the May 2nd brew under the name "Carroll County Home brewers". Hopefully we can get at least one more person to commit to brewing at my house on the 2nd.

As for the beer were making on the 2nd, we haven't decided yet. Considering Levitation clone, Berliner wiesse, keith's compsci ale. If you have a suggestion let me know.

The Comp-Sci ale would follow a recipe along the lines of...
1 vial of ale yeast
2 oz nugget
4 oz amarillo
8 lbs of dark malt
16 lbs of pilsener malt
32 minute mash
64 minute boil
I don't know, but so long as the ingredients and process are on powers of 2, it should all work out. Might need some ANDs and ORs in there too. I'm still working on what the right bottle to bring to this would be.

256 hr primary
128 min mash
64 min boil
32 lbs of grain
16 fg points
8 lb honey
4 oz hops
2 vial yeast
1 nerdy beer
