Poochie Porter v2.0

2010 Batch #10 - Porter
(brewed 11/26)





I love brewing on holidays! Though not an actual holiday, I was off work today so it sure felt like one. I celebrated by brewing a black ale, and drinking Black Fridays - good times.

I ran out of propane about 30 minutes in - oops. Good thing CVS is so close...

2010 Batch #9 - Haus Pale Ale (keg009)

ABV: ??? (~ 5% ABV)
Efficiency: TBD
Force carbed @ 30psi for ~24 hours

Brewed @ Dubbel Dachs with Edwin, only one pic from this brew day... go figure. Ryan hooked me up with the hops: he's a good guy.

I missed my gravity on brew day by a full point - but I was way over on my volume. Forgot to take my final gravity until after I kegged it (and cranked it up to 30psi) so I just drew a sample from the tap... but who knows how accurate it was at that point - there was still some cleaner in the line too.

Oh well... this is pretty much a sample brew for me anyway. I am not so sure how I feel about the style at this point. I am hoping this batch will sway my opinion one way or the other.

I took pretty crappy notes, and do not even have the final recipe saved in beer tools or on my HDD. So.... yeah, there's that.
