It's about that time of year... AHA Big Brew! This is a celebration of National Homebrew Day (May 7) and is observed the first Saturday in May every year. Get together with family and friends and share the great fellowship of home brewing all day.
We plan to spend the day brewing and grilling (weather cooperate please!). The plan is to brew one of the three recipes released by AHA for Big Brew 2013. We chose to brew the English Dark Mild Ale recipe. Instead of doing a 5 gal. batch which the recipe calls for, we are going to do our first 10 gal. batch. Well it will really be 10.5 gallons, 5 in our 6 gal. carboy and 5.5 in our 6.5 gal. carboy. We decided we are going to use a different strain of yeast in each carboy. In one, we are going to pitch the recommended London ESB yeast and in the second we are going to pitch West Yorkshire Ale yeast.
What are your plans for AHA's Big Brew? If your not brewing, try to enjoy some homebrew or at least a craft beer.
