Brewing Day!!

Thomas and I brewed 10 gallons of witbier in 2 batches and I put my ESB in a keg this afternoon. The witbier recipe was a partial mash. We modeled 5 gallon like a traditional witbier with hints of coriander and orange and made the other 5 gallons as a basic wheat base for a Lambic style that we are going to add fresh raspberries in the secondary. I'm hoping the one of the two is a high enough caliber to enter into the fall brewing competition. I used iBrewmaster to to figure and track my recipes,  I just  can't say enough about how much I love that iPad app...

Our next project is making a mash tun and adding a ball valve and thermometer to the brew kettle. Then I should be all set to brew all grain! I'm very excited about this!!
