The drought is over…I fired up the brewery last weekend and cleaned some goods out of the freezer. Created a batch of the aforementioned Ginger Peach Wheat with no input from the brewery, I just sort of made up a recipe.

It went a little something like this…
5lb White Wheat
4lb Pale 2-Row
.5 oz Cascade 60min
1 oz Cascade 5min

I replaced one gallon of the brewing liquor in the initial mash with some strong tea (8 teabags in a gallon) and proceeded as normal.

Nate gave me some Pacman yeast and it is chomping away. I’ve yet to taste it after the kettle, at which point there was just a little tea flavor left. My guess is that most of the tea flavor will have been scrubbed out by the boil and the fermentation, which will leave me with…sniff…wheat beer. I can think of worse fates.

Next will be an English pale ale, followed perhaps by an imperial IPA - I tried Goose Island’s a few weeks ago in Lincoln and it was mighty foine.

I think you are supposed to laugh at least seven times each day for health, etc. etc.

This should get you at least one, if not you are either too jaded to be worth talking to or a poor reader.

A list of some of the all-time worst domain names in history.

Thanks, Rigsy.
