Big Batch Brew Bash

ATTENTION WHB MEMBERS

Saint Arnolds will be holding their 13th annual Big Batch Brew Bash. This year's feature beer is a Weizenboch (15C). I figure it's time to test the waters and enter a Homebrew competition.

Entries must be submitted to Brew-It-Yourself no later than May 11th. We will need to refine our brewing skills, so I suggest we brew two batches of Weizenbock. Tentatively mark your calanders to brew on Sunday March 16th and Sunday March 30th. This will give us plenty of time to ferment and carbonate both batches berfore the entry dealine.

Each entry must submit three (3) bottles of the brew in a non-descript brown or green bottle. I will purchase a coutner-pressure bottle filler so we can load stright from the keg.

Since we are entering a competition, we will create our own recipe based on the typical characteristics describe in the above link.

Latest Addition to WHB

Many thanks to Roberto de Blanco for the awesome new brew table. Now everyone can see what's going on inside the brewpot.

The Setting Sun

The sun has set on another Whole Hog Brewery favorite, as earlier this week the last of the Mulvarian Sunset was consumed. The keg was tapped to celebrate Sunny and Mel’s visit to H-Town. The call of fresh beer, or maybe the arrival the newest member of the WHB family, Alan Wyn Miller, brought together many friends. A good time was had by all.

One Dynamo of a Beer Fridge

Well the votes were tallied and Dynamo Orange just nudged out Jayhawk Blue. Thanks to all who voted. Here are some pictures of the nearly complete beer fridge. Awaiting 4 circular Whole Hog Brewery magnetic logos and the company sticker in white for the door. The replacement thermostat should be in by this Friday, just in time for serving the Mulvarian Sunshine Ale, which by the way, tastes great. Special thanks to Assistant Brewmaster Double Dave for all the hard work with the tower installation.
