Batch Number 6: English Tavern Bitter, Wind River Brewing Co.

Again, working in reverse trying to get my brew log online comes a really nice batch of beer that I enjoyed the heck out of. The batch was brewed on 5/27/2009 in Lawrence, KS.

Ingredients for a 5 gal. batch:
6 lbs. Gold Malt Extract
1 oz. Nugget Bittering Hops
1 oz. Fuggles Aroma Hops
1 oz. Goldings Aroma Hops
1/2 lbs. Caramel 10L Grain
1/2 lbs. Carapils Grain
1 Pkt. Danstar Nottingham Yeast

O.G. 1.062 @ 96 Degrees = 1.066
F.G. 1.009

Cost: $23.95
From: Wind River Brewing Co.

Bottled 6/7/2009

Loved this batch of beer and the style. It had a nice golden color and good lighter malt flavor, but the hops and bitter set it apart. I think the British bitters are one of my favorite styles of beer and I will definitely brew something like this again soon.

Batch Number 5: Cologne Kolsch - Wind River Brewing Co.

This was a great batch of beer and I look forward to brewing a Kolsch sometime again, heading towards next summer. This is the closest you can come to a pilsner in an ale. If I was going to brew this batch again, I would have racked it for an extra week or two in a secondary fermentation vessel.
