“Time flies when you are having fun!” – as they say. I must be having a blast because this beer was brewed over 2 weeks ago and I am now just getting around to the post.
In all honesty, I forgot about it. You see, summer basically ended August 01 for the brew crew as we spent copious quantities of time at school preparing for the new school year. There were fun things like teacher inservice days, registration days, policy / procedure finalization, document updates, and the like. I had so much fun that time just slipped away. Tomorrow puts us midway through the second week of school already. As to not model some middle schooler’s mentality and slip even further behind, or forbid, fall more than one post behind, (Labor Day is this coming Monday where another brew session will take place.) here is the condensed version of what I remember from this brew session:
- Location: Fieldpointe South
- Weather: Acceptable
- Dorothy Doors: Open
- BM Bar: Yes
Mark did spend some time in the kitchen, with permission, putting together a pile of homemade subs. There were enough for the meal and then plenty to eat during the week. Each and every one of them was fantastic! (and appreciated)

Need to get the fermenter in the lager freezer to clear and then into a keg – once one becomes available. There is a bit of a surplus on hand due to the 3 “church” beers for Oktoberfest. The Supervisor needs to get busy.
