First Taste

I hope the German I learned back in 1972 translates ok!

I bottled the Dirty Honey Blonde about 10 days ago and I just had to sample it. First impressions….mighty good. I have two 6 Liter bottles and 10-16 oz. bottles sitting in a nice dark place. I think it will benefit from a few more weeks but it is very drinkable now. I have about 4 or 5 more glasses of Belgian Wit in one of the other 6 L bottles and once finished I will tap the “Blonde” and have her ready to dispense from the fridge.

The folks down at Backyard Home Brewers Education Center in Humble, TX gave me a winning recipe for this Ale. It is a partial grain recipe and turned out very nice… Local readers need to check them out.

Downtown Grill & Brewery in Knoxville

Nice beers, great people….even wearing our LSU colors locals would come over and welcome us. An Assistant DA for the City went out of his way and really made us feel welcome..Great place to visit and sample very nice craft beers. The brew kettle will be idle for a while – or at least until my inventory gets worked down a little.
