Whats Brewing at D&S?

This weekend will be a big one, I am hoping to get in 3 batches and try doing 2 wines!

First brew will be the Hop Hammer. HH was an blue ribbon award winner at the Buzz Off in June, I am hoping to duplicate it for the Masters competition in February! The Hop Hammer will have 13 pounds of Pilsner malt, 8 oz of hops (4 simcoe and 4 columbus scattered thru 120 minutes of brewing) 6oz of bourbon soaked french oak , and the 099 high gravity yeast!
I am entering the last 2 bottles of the January batch into the Malt Madness competition

Next is the Frozen Tundra Cream Ale, this is a variation of the Mannion Cream Ale with a little more hops (.25 n brewers, .5 cascade and .5 warrior) it's base is 4lbs of ultra light malt and 1lb of dried rice. A fine session beer at a 5% alcohol volume! The official beer of The Dukes of Earl's Frozen Tundra Tailgate! Held this year in the Dragon's Lair Underdeck!

Then we are doing a D&S classic, the original recipe of Bossong's Bitter! Our Christmas favorite. I brew this every year to give out to friends at Christmas. It has 6 lb ultralight and .5lb lite dme, .5 carastan crushed grain, 2 oz of kent golding hops and good ole california yeast! This is what I call my house beer that I love to have on tap for visitors!

I got 2 wine kits form a friend, Cherry and Apple. Heck I'll give it a try, they are gallon kits.
