This post is part 4 of our recent homebrewing adventures. You can view part 3 here.
It's been awhile since I've updated our homebrewing progress on the site. There's some reasons for that and they aren't all that we've been really busy with other things. The first time we tried the beer we thought we had a critical failure on our hands. It was very disheartening but I will get to that in a bit.
When I ended our part 3 post we had just transferred the beer to the carboy for secondary fermentation. There it sat for about two months. This time span was relatively uneventful. We had to top off the water in the airlock several times due to evaporation and a layer of sediment formed at the bottom of the carboy. That's about it. We were very excited when it finally came time for bottling day.
Hi everyone sorry we are getting a bit of a late start this spring.We are expecting that Friday May 10th will be our first day out. See everyone on either friday or saturday. Thanks
Pete and Megan
We are really getting the outdoor itch as spring is finally coming into it's own here in western New York. As we excitedly look forward to the summer, one of the great local beer events is on the horizon: Rochester Real Beer Week! It's probably more accurately described as a theme than it is a singular event as great craft beer establishments set up their own events between June 14th and June 23rd.
The Rochester Real Beer Expo is the centerpiece event, happening on Saturday the 15th. They close down Gregory Street outside the Tap and Mallet, set up a bunch of tents, and a bunch of breweries serve great beers. Each brewery in attendance is encouraged to bring as many casks as possible to embrace the real beer portion of the title. This year's event is the third incarnation. We skipped last year's after being disappointed with the first one. It was overly crowded, there weren't enough bathrooms, and food options were lacking, but the beer was great! We decided to grab tickets again this year and see if they made any improvements. We are hopeful!
Our love for the lunch buffet at Thali of India is no secret. Ever since I took a job closer to home in Brockport, I've missed random lunch trips to the Henrietta spot. It's now a rare Saturday that it works out for us to enjoy the great curry.
When we are at the buffet, Heather tends to take small samples of many of the different options available. Not me! I usually head straight for the wonderfully orange Chicken Makhani, always positioned at the far end of the buffet line. Because our trips have become so rare, I wanted to try my hand at making this curry at home.
After googling around a bit I ended up selecting a recipe at allrecipes.com. There are lots of ingredients but only three cooking steps! It sounded relatively painless.
We decided last Saturday, to spend the afternoon in our Brockport, NY community with some shopping and lunch. Still feeling fairly new to this community, we want to try to be more connected and support it in some way. I've been doing some spring cleaning and decided to give Smarty Pants, a small local business, a second chance by trying to sell some clothing that has been taking up space in my closets. I tried selling some really nice, almost new dress pants back in December but was turned away because that type of clothing was not their focus. I was actually told by the owner that Mike and I were dressed cool and he would buy what we were wearing, so bring in a bag of that and we would be good. Fair enough. I took him up on that because I liked the overall business model of reduce, reuse. I try to be environmentally conscious and who doesn't like to save money as well by selling good conditioned clothing and then buying something at a discount!

The morning after we put our beer in the primary fermenting bucket we started to notice bubbles coming through the air lock. This was very exciting as it was a true sign that we did something right in the process. The bubbles were quite constant at times, as a series of 3-5 bubbles would come out in bursts every 5-15 seconds. This went on for a full week.
At the end of that week we noticed that the bubbling had stopped. We took this as a sign that the sugars were consumed and fermentation had halted. The instructions for the recipe said that this would occur after 1-2 weeks and then it was to be transferred to our glass carboy for secondary fermentation. Seeing that the bubbles had stopped we went for it.
