Beer.


 
Time to restock the kegerator. An American wheat today, and an Irish red and a sweet stout tomorrow.

I'm using an Anvil Foundry electric all grain brewery with a mash recirculating pump. It'll run on either 120V or 240V, I'm set up for 240V (for the electricians, yes, I have a GFCI breaker on it.)

Hope everyone is having a good Saturday!

We took a short road trip earlier this week up the coast to Solvang. Did some hiking, wine tasting, and made a visit to the Firestone Walker Brewery just outside of nearby Buellton.

Came home with some Firestone Walker beers I have *never* seen or tried before.

Electric Eagle American IPA

Brewed an American Pale Lager based on the grain bill from Sierra Nevada Beer Camp, my own hop bill using Aussie and NZ hops, and Diamond yeast.
 
Happy Saturday, everyone!

Made a visit to Fall Brewing in the Miramar area of San Diego.

Good selection of drafts
