New Brews during 2014



Its been some time since I've updated the blog.  HolzBrew Jr. has arrived and he demands/deserves most of Sr.'s attention.   Despite this, I have done some brewing the last couple of months and I figured I share the recipes.  The first batch was a bock with substantial rye additions.  I thought this Rye-bock (named "Heart Shaped Bock") would hit the spot at the end of winter and help usher in the Spring.  The second brew is a West Coast style DIPA.  It had been some time since I made a gnarly hop filled DIPA ("Hop Sauce"), so I figured why not.  I brewed the DIPA yesterday and unfortunately over milled the grain which led to a painfully stuck mash, which took two hours of hand filtering to extract a good 7+ gallons of wort to go into the kettle.  Fortunately, I don't think there was any irreparable damage to the brew, even if there was to my brewer-ego.
