My latest beer creation went into it's primary fermentation yesterday after about 3 hours of cooking and prep. I went with a partial mash on this one per Todd's recommendation from the Home Brewery in Ozark. Todd is the only guy I have ever bought ingredients form and there's one simple reason, customer service. I didn't have my recipe for this beer at all nailed down before I got there yesterday. I knew what I wanted to make, just not real sure how to get there. Todd took my ideas and turned them into something real, had everything in stock that I needed, and went through the steps that I needed to follow which were slightly more technical than the brew style I've done in the past. If I'm buying a plastic case for my iPad, I usually shop on the net. but when I'm buying ingredients for a brew I buy local from a brewer that knows whats going on! That's Todd...
After I mashed in and got the the DME dissolved, (note to self, need a much larger brew kettle to dissolve 10 pounds of dry malt)... I brought the sweet wort up to a boil and immediately boiled over for 1 brief second but I got it under control. Everything else went like clockwork. I also racked all the other brews, The Snowman Ale is in it's secondary and is about a week away from bottling. The two meads have about 7 more months to go. Now to come up with my next brew idea...
