…to make beer.
The first day of the Fall season finds me brewing a batch of Texas Blonde Ale. I picked up the kit when I was in Austin from the fine folks at Austin Homebrew Supply.
I've been making mostly extract batches lately, so this time I choose to make a mini-mash. It always takes longer due to the added time for the mash. I'm not sure if it makes that much of a difference. If I like this kit, I'll try the all extract next time.
And, I need to plan my next batch of Abe's Important Stout. It's a great beer to have around for the colder months.
The weather is beautiful, the schedule of the day is open, and I am going to relax and make beer.
