Extracts!

I started homebrewing back in January 2011 after 10 years of carrying the same beer kit around from apartment to house to apartment to house to finally the home I currently enjoy with my lovely lady, Sara.


Before the year closes out I need to document the respectable rise in the volume and diversity of beers I've both made and drank in 2011. So the below list, subject to correction, documents the extract list year to date of homebrew, for better or worse.


Caveat, not all beers are ready and not all beers are left!

1. Austin Homebrew Supply- Newcastle Brown Ale brewed Jan 2011
2. Northern Brewer- Honey Weizen Extract Kit brewed in May 2011
3. Northern Brewer- Patersbier Extract Kit brewed in June 20111
4. Northern Brewer- The Innkeeper Extract Kit Brewed in June 2011
5. Northern Brewer- Belgian Dubbel Extract Kit Brewed in July 2011

Here ends the extract kits. For the most part they were at the least drinkable (Newcastle Brown Ale clone) and in some cases rather inspiring (Patersbier). All of these have been consumed except for the Dubbel which is now about 4 months old and still has a flavor profile that I really don't care for. 


August of 2011 I joined the CR Beer Nuts homebrew club and switched to all grain brewing. Lots of nice gents who I'm sure will be featured on and off on this lil' ol' blog.  


Next entry will document all-grain and more.
