Karley's Stout

It's certainly been awhile since we've updated our website. For that, I apologize. Since our last post we've all been busy traveling, running half marathons, marathons, and visiting our brewery that we just opened in the DC area. One of the two batches that we have brewed recently was a Rhubarb Ale. A full grain amber ale that we added as much frozen rhubarb that we could. My word is it delectable. Once we can procure some more ingredients we will be brewing this again.

Aside from that and the primary reason for this post is our work up of Karley's Stout. We've brewed this twice before straight from a kit but this time we decided to work up a full grain batch. Brewmaster McGurk came up with the grain bill and the other ingredients on this recipe. Ground coffee beans and chocolate were added right at the end of the boil. When we transferred into the secondary we added some extra strong coffee to it. Finally, on the first day of 2013 we kegged the brew and are eagerly awaiting New Beer's Day. The most wonderful holiday of the year!
