Botteling and Brewing

How long to lager? How about ten weeks. Sounds good to me. Maybe too long, we'll see. I added a packet of Bohemian Wyeast since the original Bohemian is almost certainly inactive and settled out.

Hopefully the extra yeast doesn't go nuts and break 24 of my best 22oz bottles.

In other news I tried out my new auto siphon for the first time. Wow is that nice. A lot better than filling a racking cane and hose up with water, draining into a bucket, getting beer all over and repeating because a good siphon didn't take.

I brewed an American IPA today, should be delicious.

Brew and Grow

I stopped in the local brew supply store yesterday. It's called Brew and Grow. Not too far out of the way. They're more of an "alternative growing" store, but plenty of home brew supplies. Picked up a couple Wyeats and some more siphon hose. Too bad I missed the last Chicago Beer Society meeting due to extreme illness. I'm feeling better now, thank you very much.
