This blog will serve as a great place for me to log my brews, and share my recipes, techniques, and questions. I might even throw in the occasional brew or brewpub review.

This week's evil plan!!! Muhuhahaha!
Ugh, it's been below freezing here or raining for what seams like two weeks. I'm ready to crash this Hefe, and put it into secondary with some blackberry puree. That's all well and good, and doesn't require any good weather to do, as its pretty much an all in the house job. I do however want to reuse the massive yeast cake that I have been nurturing for the past two months for one more rodeo. I have an excellent dunkelweizen ready to get mashed, and I want to use this large pitch of Wyeast 3638 as my primary fermenting microbe. I'm actually contemplating dumping the wort straight from the boil kettle, cooled of course, into the primary that this Hefe has been occupying for the past two weeks. Give the vessel a really good shake to bring the yeast back into solution, and then cap her off. Should be interesting.
