So a little about me. My name is Grayling Alexander. I'm originally from Galveston, but now live in Richmond. I became a beer nerd about 5 years ago, and have been homebrewing for about a year now. This blog is mainly to encourage, educate, and serve as a chance to share my successes and failures as a home brewer.
The first beer I ever brewed was an IPA, and it was a total disaster. I made the decision to use the stove and ran into so many issues; not to mention, a dirty kitchen and a unhappy wife. It came out so bad, I got discouraged and didnt brew again for months. Now I've gotten better, and I just started batch number five.
I'm calling this beer Strawberry Swelter. For one, it's a strawberry blonde, and two, I made the smart decision to brew outside in 104 degree Texas heat on July 4th.
Ingredients used: 4.75 lb Pilsen liquid malt extract, 2 lb domestic 2 row malt,
1 lb Vienna malt, 2 oz crystal hop pellets, 4 oz brewers belt strawberry, and Mangrove yeast.
We want to try this when it's ready!
Sweltzer is catchy for inferno home brewing.... Hahaha... Cool read keep the updates coming on this one....
