Brewing Updates

Had to do a little Brew work today.

Needed to keg the summer ale.  Managed to get about 8 gallons out of the fermenter.  I had some issues with it as the dry hops I put in kept plugging the outlet tube.  Ended up using a standard siphon to get the beer out of the fermenter.  The kegs are in the keezer and quietly carbonating away.

Also Racked off the Mango and the Spine Bender Ale today.  The mango was just a huge blast of hops and citrus and sweetness.  Can taste the alcohol, but not in a boozey way.

The Spine bender was mild, and the non traditional hop choices added an interesting flavor profile.

Put them both in the outside fermentation chamber so I can get the temperature down low and help them to clear up a bit before bottling.

I will bottle condition both of these.  Bombers for the Spine Bender, 12 ouncers for the Triple Mango IPA.
