Those went to the brewery staff.<br /><br />Hogue said he mixed the sugar and candy with a variety of grains to craft the brew. The base grain is a Belgian pilsner, and Hogue also used two malts.<br /><br />“It smelled awesome,” he said.<br /><br />Now, it’ll spend about 10 days fermenting. Then it’ll spend a few weeks in the fridge before Hogue makes sure the carbonation is set and puts it on tap. <br /><br />The batch should yield about 186 gallons of beer, Hogue said.<br /><br />“It’s a real pretty golden yellow color,” he said.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18615538.post-21087241091041676782012-03-03T10:03:44.407-07:002012-03-03T10:03:44.407-07:00Sounds like fun.

In lieu of blathering on too much, I will just say that you are a true bad ass. Three weeks ago, I ran a twenty mile trail race. The furthest distance I had ever run. Fifteen miles in, I just wanted to curl up in a ball and quit. I think part of what got me through it was thinking about some of the epic slogs you've been through and that I just needed to keep plugging away. I just wanted to let you know what an inspiration you've been and to thank you for sharing all your adventures. <br /><br />I have also been wondering what your thoughts were when you realized the condition of your legs after the latest adventure. Were you concerned about any permanent damage? Will you have any permanent damage? What was the deal with the blisters? You are apparently okay enough to bike and hike but I just don't understand how you do it. <br /><br />Congratulations on your race, good luck to Beat and thanks again for sharing as openly and honestly as you do.brentnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18615538.post-465200206843446982012-03-03T00:31:28.668-07:002012-03-03T00:31:28.668-07:00Yay, Whitehorse!
