Its been a while since I've blogged. With spring comes all sorts of projects and with summer come even more. I hope the recent solstice found you with wheat beer in hand. I've very excited about my barley project. I have a 20 x15 foot space in my garden currently
occupied with the feathery heads of barley. Its a 6-row variety which is all I could find for sale in
Michigan. Next year I will locate a 2-row variety and I hope to have it
available through my new
business,
Heritage Hops, LLC, for other folks who would like to attempt to brew a REAL
homebrew! My hops are
coming along nicely as well. I went down to the basement to pull a
draught of my pale ale...and nothing. I believe there is a leak in my system. I'm guessing its in my picnic tap. Anyway, I'll have to get the old tank filled up soon. I guess
that's one problem with kegging...a fairly big problem if you don't have a backup CO2 tank!
