Labor Day

We occasionally brew a few batches of beer each year.  Last spring we did quite a few:

Ginger Lavender Pale Ale

Citra Black IPA

Nut Brown Ale

Pale Ale with Summit and Cascades

A Double Citra IPA

and a Chocolate Mint Stout.

This labor day we did two new batches for the winter.  A Smoked Peat Porter and a Belgian Saison.

 For the Porter, we used the fresh Willamete hops I picked up at Aunt Lynn & Uncle Geoff's house.   

We brewed the batch as the recipe called for, but we dropped all of the fresh hops into the primary, then transfered the beer into the primary onto the fresh hops.
