Throw in some malt, some hop, a few gallons of water and a touch of faith and you get some damn good brew. Six weeks ago, Yum! Beer, Investor #1, and I spent a nice little Saturday whipping together a concoction of ingenious design (instructions included). Finally, after two weeks of fermentation and four weeks of bottle aging, the Blind Squirrel Nut Brown was ready for unveiling. A good balance of malt and hop, not to heavy and not too light, hint of spice and everything nice...not to toot our own horns, but it rocks! We are pleasantly surprised with our first brew batch and eager to start a second. Have you tasted the Blind Squirrel?
