We're finally starting our Kolsch brew today and this is the 2nd batch of beer we've ever made. The first was using the Brooklyn Brewing Company IPA set we got for our wedding. For the Kolsch we're using a package of ingredients we got from the homebrewing store nearby and I'm liking this setup a lot better.
With this batch we're using our new cooking pot for brewing that Kristi's parents got her for her birthday. Next week we get to try the IPA we bottled as it should be done carbonating by then.
So far this is an exciting experience and we're hoping to see where this leads. My hope is to try as many styles throughout the year and eventually get a good enough hang on how to brew that we can start coming up with our own recipes.
I'm looking forward to hearing how it goes. I'm debating between attempting home brewing and making applejack. I'm more likely to drink applejack, and I've got an apple tree, so...
ReplyDeleteIt's definitely something you should do if you actually enjoy beer. Honestly, I think you would enjoy the applejack more. I plan on posting tomorrow with an update about the beer and how the brewing went.
