25 June--Bravery Wort Transformation

[breakingbarley]

The fine details have been worked out and we're ready to transform some wort!

Brian and co. at Bravery are going to cook BEAVR a batch of low-IBU 1.050-ish golden ale wort that we get to take home and transform. Vigorously dry-hop the wort, re-boil and add roasted grains, open-ferment a killer hefe, or even concoct your famed watermelon-saison. The door is open for weird and delicious creations.

We'll get together at the September meeting to share our creations at Bravery. A proprietor favorite will be chosen to be scaled up and served on tap.

Fermentation needs to accomplished with a single Whitelabs Saccharomyces strain, so no bugs or other yeast varieties. Special ingredients are welcome as long as it could easily be scaled up to a 3 bbl batch.

You'll need to bring a clean and sanitized stainless corny keg. No glass or plastic carboys/buckets per Brian's request. You can bring your keg in earlier if needed, just label it so Brian know who it belongs to.

Each brewer will bring home 5 gallons to change and make their own. Pickup your sweet wort at Bravery at 4 PM on Sunday, June 25th.

BEAVR members can come hangout during the brewday, Brian will be starting at 10am.


Let me know if you have any questions before we get this going.

A huge thanks to Brian for brewing great craft beer for the AV and for his continued support of BEAVR!

Sounds like any White Labs ale or lager yeast are allowed, American, German, Belgian, English... No brett, pedio or lacto strains.
