New brix: 5.1. This puts our current ABV at 4.8%. Right on track to be a perfect pale :)

We're also pricing out a few brewery modifications tonight. Soooo exciting!! We'll post photos once everything is complete :)

Until next time, have a hoppy day ;) har har har

hey there, long time no post!

yeah yeah, we know. we've been naughty little brewers. we sorta took the summer (what the PNW had of one anyway) off. but now we're getting back into it. have a pale going on the pot right now. we've also been doing a lot of work on our little brewery. tons of cleaning, organizing, and now we have a sink! our very own sink in our very own brewery. its a big thing people. once that sink is hooked up to the plumbing and is usable (!!!), oh wow, we're so excited. running water in our brewery. badass.
annnnnyways, we're making a pale tonight. we're out of beer and just wanted to do something light and fun.
