Been busy with work lately, so not much time for beer...much less posting here. I got my Cherry Wheat bottled up on Sunday after watching the Colts eek out a win on the road. I also racked my brown into secondary.

The wheat tasted great going into the bottle, and I can't wait to try one out in a few weeks!!!

Lots of things going on the weekends coming up so I'm not sure when I'll get to brew next. I'm pretty positive it will be a stout of some sort, just not sure what I'll do with it.

I got my scores in from my entries in the Michigan State Fair Homebrew Competition. My "Ohana" Pineapple Pale Ale scored a 31 in the fruit beer category. I was pretty pleased with this. The great thing about the competition is that I was fortunate to get a lot of really good feedback on my brewing. There are some changes that I will be making to really help the quality of my brewing. My Belgian Wit didn't fare quite as well, scoring a 25. One thing I got feedback from the judges on both beers was some oxidation, as well as some issues with Chlorine. Both pretty darned fixable.
