Brew Day!

[bluue13]

This one was a little different from my normal homebrew day. I’ve worked in the taproom for about 8 years at a local brewery in RI. The company’s 10th anniversary is coming up in December and I was called upon to design a recipe. It was approved and I was able to go in and brew on the pilot system a “small batch” which will be released at the celebration event in Dec. The recipe I came up with is a Manhattan cocktail inspired imperial stout, complete with actual Luxardo cherries in the secondary and some of my home grown cascade hops. Massive photo dump ahead:

Time will tell! It has to ferment now which will take about 3-4 weeks. If all goes well it’ll end up being about 11.5% abv

This is awesome. Will there be a larger batch if this one turns out awesome? Might need to get some of that because it sounds delicious.

What a great time! It must be great to be asked to make a special brew for their 10th anniversary.

I will be interested to hear the reviews after fermentation is complete.

Keep you guys posted on how it turns out. If it gets packaged up vs just kegged I’ll definitely see about getting you guys some if possible.
