A new Beer

Well today we just finished brewing a new beer. The as of yet unnamed Chocolate Porter (so far we have discussed "Dalmatian, Backdraft, and Paramedic.) The goal is a beer with a subtle hint of Chocolate, coming from the imported Chocolate Malt (no chocolate used in the malt, but the taste is similar to chocolate.) We will find out in a few weeks how well we did in hitting out goal.

Now in the fermenters we have:
FV1: Pozharnik
FV2: Porter
FV3: Empty
FV4: Wassail
20BBL: Balsam's Lager
Barrels: Pompier (aging nicely if I do say so myself)
Bright Tank: Engine 5 (we should be bottling it out next week!)

Today we have two tastings we are attending, Phil and James are off to Fancestown, NH (The Village Store), and I am off to Sutton, MA (Heritage Starlight in the Manchaug Mills.) So if you are in the area, stop by and say hi!

Well off to make more boxes and assemble 6 pack holders for the Engine 5 bottling run next week.

Have a great weekend, and Cheers,
