Another brew update
Posted by Joseph Wilson in And All of the Rest, On Tap
So my brewing adventures continue! Over the last few weeks I've been tempted to brew organic beer but didn't know where to start. Brew Your Own Mag. (byo.com,) just released an article on brewing organic beers and I happened to stumble across it at the B&N. Inside they also had an add for breworganic.com, which offers USDA certified organic products for homebrewers such as myself. So I headed over to the website today and found an sweet oatmeal stout kit that would be perfect for my Chocolate Acai Stout that I've been wanting to make. Whats even better is the fact that they have an all grain kit that will allow my to make my first all grain batch of beer!
Oh and also I was able to talk to the Maintencence Director at work today and he is able to hook me up with some equipment to turn my 48 qt ice cooler into 48 qt mash tun. A mash tun is essential for making all grain beer and is the only peice of equipment I don't currently have. It basically allows you to steep your beer grains at a constant temp and then convert it into wort. Then you take the wort and yest to it and you got some good homebrew.
So all that means is, that very soon, the first (of my knowledge) Organic Chocolate Acai Stout will be a reality!
Rock on!
