CP Home Brewing

[ChiefGator]

I am currently waiting to get another kegerator, and then I will begin brewing again. Moved up to a third floor condo about 18 months ago, and I didnt want to drag my big chest freezer converted to a kegerator up here, so I need to buy a smaller refrigerator to convert... I am over bottling at this point, except as a small amount to share with others. Once you keg, it is hard to go back and the effort of cleaning bottles, filling them, capping them, and then cleaning up the mess. It greatly increases the effort of brewing for me.

I have decided to brew beers that I really like that are really hard to find without paying an arm and a leg. My next beers will be a Chipotle Lager and a Rauschbier, lagered again. I can probably brew them for just over the price of Coors Light, and clearly they are a far superior beer.

Last beers I brewed were both Czech Pilsners, just hopped one up with Noble hops for kicks. Those were the first lagers I brewed.

Pilsners are tricker but really good when done well. I have had 10gal of an all Saaz hop Czech Pilsner lagering/carbonating for about 4 weeks now. I call it Saaz All. Plan to pour the first beer tonight.
