At least I’m brewing

I've been brewing up a storm lately, which is good because it gives me something to talk about.  One nice thing about moving to Chicago is that I can now lager in my home.  Closets with an outer wall, far from heaters are great lagerring areas - 45-55 and stable, very nice.  My goal is to make as much lager this winter as I've made in my entire career.  I think it's about time to make a maibock, one of the styles I've never tried.

I finally made and bottled my 3rd batch of Peanut Butter Porter.  The first batch had too little peanut butter taste, with the second batch I achieved a very good balance.  So of course I ramped it up even more for this batch - seems like I went to far this time, but I'll wait until I'm drinking it to post the recipe and review.

I also made a light honey pilsner (aka I threw whatever I had in a pot) -it's carbonating nicely, however the honey and hops aren't playing nice.  I'll post a recipe and review in a few weeks.
