Update

It's been a while since I wrote so I thought I'd throw a little something out there. Shortly after my last post we had our final Star City Brewers Guild meeting of the year where I was elected President of the club. I was very honored.

I'm still brewing too. I had a couple rough sessions. I did a vienna lager. Unfortunately it clouded up after secondary lagering but it's drinkable. I also did what should have been an Irish Red but I got distracted and added to much dark malt and ended up with a brown porter. Oh well. Still a good beer. My experimental beer, a belgian stout, turned out fairly well. It, along with a cream ale I did (and won third in the SCBG March competition with) have gone to the National Homebrewing Competition, so we'll see how that goes. Most recently I've done an ordinary bitter, which I then racked and used the yeast cake to ferment an IPA with. I'll save the yeast for the Russian Imperial Stout I plan to do in a couple weeks.

I think that's about it. I gotta get back to reading for my American Brewers Guild course.

CHEERS EVERYONE!!!!
