My night cap of Hendricks Gin no longer feels special, thanks 
I have not brewed any beer in a couple years. I hope yours turns out well my friend.

I try to brew about once a month or so....this month it is a two batch month. The Olde ale will take 6 mo of age time, on oak soaked in bourbon before it is ready. But, the Scotch Ale which I racked last night into the secondary was very good, and that should be ready mid Sept.
+1...Me too?
If you are in town on a brewing night....look me up...more the marrier. Visitors makes brewing more fun.
Now to start planning Sept's beer, the better half suggested a cherry sour ale.
Any Suggestions?
Mmm, sour beer! Ever brewed one? If you are looking to turn it around quickly, you might want to think about something else. There are some quick pseudo Lambics out there, but the real think requires at least a year. Most homebrewed lambics or Flanders Reds I've tasted really come to their own after 2 years.
That Old Ale sounds really good.
I just kegged a Rye IPA. Tasty!

I have not done a Rye IPA yet, but my IPA Porter (Dark IPA) was fantastic. In the most recent BYO magazine there is a article about making sour ale's and one thing they are suggesting is harvesting the lees from annother sour beer to speed up the creation of the sour bacteria. Cutting the total brew time down.
Even so it may have to wait for while on a aged beer, untill I get one of my ageing carboy's free again.
