Still have to do before 12/31: Ben’s DoubleAlt as soon as I get a weekend I’m not camping with the Scouts, or busy with family. Then I have ingredients arriving from NB for a Vienna lager and a Marzen. I’ll finish up, probably 12/31, with a Bock.
I bottle, so have no problem with storing lots of varieties, and give a lot away around Christmas.
I have a couple on deck. Pale Ale and an Irish Red. I might hold off on the Irish Red so it closer to March however my wife and I are expecting 2 bundles of joy then so I might brew it sooner.
Congrats to you sir! My youngest daughter was born January 19 so I doubled up late December and early January to make sure I had some in the pipeline as I knew there would be a significant life disruption for a while. I can’t even imagine two at once
Jim, I see several varieties of moon in your list. Out of curiousity what style is it?

Brewed less often this year because I brewed all 10 gal batches. Took off most of June, July and August because it was just too damn hot to brew outside.
Started with the Blue Moon clone by Nilo & Wayne on the HBT forum. I’ve changed it up a little by adding 1 lb. Vienna malt. Otherwise I keep it true to the original- lightly hopped with Hallertau, US-05, and I keep it clear, unlike the current fad of cloudy wheat beers. It is a big hit with my female family& friends, and lends itself well to adding fruit.
Sorry to hear about your cat. I lost my brewery cat in September. You couldn’t leave a glass of beer around her unattended. She loved porters. You gave me the idea to brew one up for her.
Yes, sad to lose such a great friend, er pet. Thats my where user name comes from, sneezles, our cat. 16 years old, and her favorite thing to do, go patrolling the yard when I git home from work… She won’t drink any brew though… maybe lucky that way… Sneezles61
Sunny was 14. Pretty old for a farm cat. He was quite the badazz. Over his 14 years he accumulated well over 400 stitches from run ins with other foxes and other animals. He would disappear for days at a time when he was younger. When he was about 8 he dragged himself to the back door one morning looking like he was a goner but 212 stitches, about 40 of which were for punctures, some antibiotics and he was good to go. Something bigger than a fox had apparently tried to skin and eat him. After that his nickname was Frankencat.
yea we have those too, and coyotes, and a black bear or two…boy this thread didn’t drift far did it…haha sorry guys…now back to your regularly scheduled 2016 brew list!
