Today we are brewing some new stuff. The initial idea was to finally pump out some of the Gavinator, but with us both being too poor to afford the supplies a full batch of that dog-gone brew plans have changed. After kicking around the kitchen and a short stop over at Jones Bee and The Beer Nut, I am heating up water for the revamped version of "Your Peach Braggot Is In Another Castle".
This time around I am making the malt a little darker and more complex as well as using a higher quality honey. The honey is a combination of a single hive honey from Park City and an Orange Blossom honey. I'm also hitting this batch with a bit more hops with a longer boil. It should mitigate some of the extra sweetness the last one had, and give it a bit more flavor. I am also not sure if I am going to go with pure peaches this time, as they are WAY out of season. That I'll figure out once I toss it into secondary fermentation.
