Recipe: Jenlain Biere de Garde
Huh? Francois for "French country ale". Thunder is brewing solo due to Boomer's scholastic obligations and Rook's absentia. Ultimately, Thunder needed to reconnect with the brewing process after a 45 day absence (since the Bloody Knuckles Incident).
Recipe calls for:
Steep for 20 minutes-
5 oz of Cara Munich II
6 oz of 60L Crystal
Sparge, bring to boil
Add-
2 cans of Bull's DME
1 oz of Perle hops
45 minutes
Add-
.5 oz of Saaz hops
15 minutes
You know the rest...
No special ingredient due to solitary job. But that's okay, we have plenty of bottling coming down the pipe, no pun intended. As Boomer said, it is kinda exciting to have a carboy of TB at each on of our 3 locales.
20 Gallons of BOOMER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Just got an alert from Boomer. sounds like he bottled the Joe Pilsner. Can anyone confirm or disconfirm this?
What? That would be crazy talk! Boomer, what is the scoop?
No, no - simply racked into a secondary. Stole a sip though - and it tastes like a light, pilsner. It'll be interesting to see how it is received.
Perle hops, huh? Have we used those yet? Any thoughts?
No. We have not used Perle. They were supposed to be somethign else but that is all they have. Mostly for Belgian Whits.
Gotta love that Belgian Whit!
While I was telling my brother last night about the French Country Ale, he came up with a great name. Freedom Country Ale. I laughed with intertwined emotions of loathing, pity and irony.
No more blowoff. The bubbler is chirping away. Keeping temperature at 58 all weekend long.
Ha! Freedom Country Ale is fantastic! With a nice picture of the French flag on the label.
We are approaching bottling time. FCA is about done.
