Gueuze - The Making Of ...

Hmm .. after the very unexpected win for this beer, I was left wondering how in the world an experiment could have turned out this way. I suppose it was a lucky combination of having judges who were able to appreciate the style (my family hates it) and having just the right sort of bugs in that mix.

My very nasty-looking culture of "house" bugs

More than just a surprise ...

My last post was 2 months ago! (OK, almost 3 ..) I've been busy with Bryan, work, and brewing. Yes, no time to blog, but I still try to dedicate a day or 2 each month for  brewing. =D

Anyway, iBrew Challenge 2013 just came and went over the weekend, and I was all excited about it - firstly, since last year's was cancelled. Also, our bunch of meetup brew buddies will also be going and it's always so much more fun to have good company at events. And finally, I wanted to enter the beers lol.Unfortunately because of all sorts of celebrations due to our new addition to the family, almost all of my previously-planned beers and kegs were consumed and I had to re-brew some. I only entered 6 beers in the end - 2 of them were still bottle-conditioning.
