Just a little update of whats going on at Shegogue brew! I bottled up some of my Mild and my Helles on Saturday for Battle of Bubbles 2 and Spirit of Free Beer 20! I also had just enough bottles left of my Oak Barrel Stout Clone - An American Stout aged on untoasted oak and vanilla beans. Due to bottle requirements, I only had enough of the stout to enter into the Battle of the Bubbles competition. So here is the breakdown of my entries:
Battle of the Bubbles - Judging May 6th
Oak Barrel Stout Clone - Category 23a
English Mild - Category 11a
Spirit of Free Beer - Judging May 12th
Munich Helles - Category 1d
English Mild - Category 11a
I dropped of my entries at the Flying Barrel homebrew store. So I couldn't just drop-off and leave, had to get some ingredients. I picked out some WLP400 - Belgian Wit Yeast and about 5lbs of wheat malt. This was poor planning on my part as I didnt have any real recipe pegged down in my head. When I came back home and look at some recipes I realized most wits require flaked wheat, oops! So it looks like my beer is going to have more of a hefeweizen grainbill, but use wit yeast. I see a good pun in the future for the name of this beer!
