The Friday Question
Sorry about the late posting but, as we were brewing the Monkey today, I didn’t have the answer to last weeks question until the end of our arduous brew day! The first part of the question was how many pounds of grain are used in this brew, the answer is 590lbs. The second part of the question was what is the original gravity of batch #2. The answer is 1.099. By my reckoning that makes Ray Dudeck the overall winner with his guess of 1.092 and 588 lbs, congratulations sir you get either a pair of tickets to the BAM Springfest in Frederick or a growler of Oliver Ale and a t-shirt.
Isn’t this a beautiful sight … the Hot Monkey Love wort on route to fermenting vessel #1?
On to this week’s question. Firstly the prize … thanks to our friend Nick (who recently visited Kentucky) I’ve got my hands on a few nice bottles of beer from Founders, Three Floyds and BBC which we’ll add to our stash which includes a few Brewdogs (5am Saint). The winner gets to come in and pull a couple of bottles out lucky dip style from the box but be warned I may throw a few Miller’s and Buds in just to make things interesting. The question is this, how many firkins have we filled this year so far ?… remember firkins, don’t include kilderkins (which we use in house for Best bitter and ESB) or pins! Have at it and you might get lucky. Have a great weekend.
