spiderplanetToday! We are doing the making of the Fish Ale, which does not include fish, but is named for a friend.
A few weeks ago, we met with the Head of the Minicon 49 Bar, and other people who had offered to make homebrewed beer for M49. The two other brewers have more experience than us, and much more elaborate brewing systems, so they're making larger quantities than we typically have the means to make.
With the brunt of the brewing off us, we are making our two most popular developed recipes, Dry Hard Apple Cider (Gluten Free because it's the same amount of effort to make it that way or not) and Fish Ale (Gluten Free Pale Ale). Last time, with the knowledge that Sorgum tends to have a citrusy flavor, we complemented that by using Cascade hops (Floral, citrus and grapefruity), and whatever the hell we had left in the freezer that was also in the citrusy/floral range. This time we are using Cascade, Perle (Slightly spicy and floral) and New Zeland Motueka (Lemon, lime, tropical fruit).
As for the other brewers - Kathleen will be making a Stout, a Trappist, and a Nut Brown Ale; Scott is making a Wheat & Rye, and an ESB. There will also be a commercial keg of sweet Apple cider.
There will be a fine selection of beverages this year at Minicon 49. You should all be very excited.
