Beer Blocked

logo
I was getting ready to start a new batch today: Double Chocolate Raspberry Cream Stout version 2.0 when I got Beer Blocked hard. My brewing supply store, Warehouse Beverage was closed. I know this seems like a minor detail — I shouldn’t have even considered letting it stop me. But I decided to stop short of committing a crime, even for the righteous cause of brewing.

Anyways, I was playing with new ways of calculating a grain bill to take this to the next level. A little wine and beer bar in the area wants to put it on tap. I am hoping to have it fermented and conditioned in time for January — this is one stout whose flavors need a little time to blend before the raspberrys mellow out. The downside? I’m going to have to brew two batches if I want to bottle any for sharing around the casa through the upcoming deep, dark winter months that just seem to be made for stouts.
