We've recently done another collaboration with George and this time we brewed up a Peanut butter chocolate stout!  When we added the peanut butter noticeable amounts of oil were on top so we're not sure how that's going to work.  However fermentation is going great and the air lock seems to be blowing off a scent of peanut butter!!!



Also on Thursday 8/25/11 we decided to go on an adventure to find wild hops, and we succeeded!! The only problem was the hops were surrounded by other thick vegetation and were very high up so we were not able to get any.  I'm planning on trying to find more, but we also marked where we were and we may return in the spring to see if we can get some cuttings from these hops and transplant them to our yard.

Update

Well it's been a busy week, but I can report that the Honey Lemon Ale and The Chocolate Oatmeal stout taste great!! Now I'll be bottling The strawberry and Raspberry wheat's in the next few days.  Also I'm keeping a close eye on the hops they should be ready real soon.  We will be doing the Chocolate peanut butter stout soon but probably not this week.  I'm probably going to brew up some additional honey squeeze my lemon ale real soon too.
