Yuma Brewers

Obviously on one has been putting their pints down long enough to update this thing. So here it goes again. The nut brown has been on tap a few weeks but is still going fairly strong. Holliday cheer finally got tapped and has been quickly emptying - the mead yeast esperiment was a success. Tonight the first glasses of Cherry Oatmeal stout was just poured…and it’s very tasty.

The amber is in the keg but there are some concerns over it…they could work themselves out over time or they could get worse. Just keeping our fingers crossed.

Also tonight we finally racked the second Mead and it was VERY tasty…can’t wait to bottle that one and eventually give it a real taste.

Last week J brewed a grand cru and tasting it as it went into secondary today it’s definately going to be a special brew. Two weeks ago Nick picked a winter warmer…and due to lack of keg space it’s doing a second week in secondary right now. Tonight Matt picked a bock and it’s boiling happily away.

Will we update more frequently and with more data next? Maybe…or maybe we’ll just keep enjoying the beer and forget to update again

We’ve been lazy or forgetfull or just plain busy…but the season started as predicted and has been rocking. We had last week off due to a late shipment of ingredients but the brewing this year has been pretty good.

Off the top of my head I know I started things off with a Nut brown which is just coming on tap now as we finished off the last of the J’ale at Thanksgiving and J’s giant all grain batch of many names is nearly gone as well. I believe all of the other previous season brews are gone as well.

Rich sponsored a batch of Holliday Cheer which we’re all looking forward to drinking in celebration of his and Pam’s new son who was born last week! Steff stepped up for a Cherry Stout, which J stepped up to an oatmeal cherry stout resulting in an unexpected partial-mash for us a few weeks ago. And then a second oversight the following week resulted in Bryant ordering up an all grain batch of American Amber for us to tackle just before thanksgiving. So it’s been a busy brew season…and that’s just the highlights off the top of my head.

Last week we finally had a week off due to a late shipment of ingredients. I expect a double order to be coming up soon so we won’t have to face that eventuality again due to the holidays and increased chance of a late shipment!

We may or may not go back and fill in the missing brews. Depends on whether anyone puts down their pint and picks up the keyboard one of these wednesdays With an all extract bach on deck next week maybe we’ll have so little to do we’ll have to fill in the missing posts!
