My 8th brew will be… [Poll Results]

I will be brewing porter for my 8th brew and then coffee beer again for #9.

My amber bock is almost gone, but I won’t be able to go to the homebrew store for ingredients until the weekend after I get back from Chicago, which is three weeks away. I should get plenty of 312 while I’m away though, so I’m not too worried about running out.

What to brew next?

Once again I need help deciding what I should brew next. I’m leaning towards porter, which is similar to stout but not as dark. I have also been contemplating a pale ale.

We will begin the next brew the week of the 1st through the 5th. That will make it ready to drink or bottle the weekend I get back from Chicago.

Would you ever try homemade beer? [Poll]

I have heard people say they are afraid to try homemade beer or think it would be gross.

Feel free to discuss in the comments.

Ideas for my next brew

There’s not a whole lot to report on at BEERdad since the baby won’t be here for another three months, and I’m only about 1/4 of the way through my espresso stout.

The only interesting thing I can say is that the coffee beer is still turning out nice, and I got BEERmom’s mom (who hasn’t had a drop of alcohol for 20+ years) to try one. My mom and aunts will be in town this weekend so they will probably try some as well.

Because of this downtime (while I wait for my coffee beer to dry up so I can begin the next batch), I decided to embark on a few side projects. My first one was an insane/ingenious idea I came up to create the world’s largest brewing company. This project is still a work in progress, so more on it later.

The other project I started serves a bit more of a purpose but also drives my wife crazy, which means I only get to work on it on weekends. It involves karaoke, searching, and a lot of other websites. I should be done or nearly done with it this weekend or next, so I will share more on it later too.

In the mean time, I am also trying to decide what to make for my next batch of beer. I am a fan of dark beer, but not very many of our friends are, so this time I am thinking along the lines of a pale ale or wheat beer. If you are 21+, and plan on being around to try some, vote below on what I should make.

I might be inheriting a glass carboy and brew pot here soon, so the next batch may actually be from scratch.
