Cheers!

Alright, one more non-beer related post before we get back to the regularly scheduled programming. I know it's been a month since our Wedding weekend, but there were a few more cool things worth sharing from it.

I'm on a quest to brew a really tasty low gravity Pale Ale. I want something in the 1.035-1.037 range that has the hop quality of an IPA. To be perfectly honest, this recipe has been harder to put together than I thought it would be. Last time I brewed this, it was a little rough around the edges. I've since tweaked the recipe some, and we're giving it another go.

The last of the three wedding beers is one I've brewed a couple times before. I love big hoppy IPAs, and I knew everyone at the wedding would be expecting an amazing IPA on tap. After brewing an Enjoy By Clone a few months ago, it was an easy decision to brew that recipe for the wedding.

Well, the big day has finally come and gone, and we're officially married. It's sort of funny how months and months of hard work culminate into one night that goes by in what seems like a flash. Nevertheless, we had an absolutely amazing weekend that we'll never forget. Vows were said, beers were drank, and laughs were had. Seeing as this is a homebrewing blog, we should probably talk about the beer. I won't get into too many details about each recipe, as each will have a dedicated post, but let's cover some of the fun of brewing for a wedding.

It's finally time to get cracking with the batches of beer for my wedding. For the first beer, I wanted something light and approachable, but still something very flavorful. I flipped through my brewing notebook, looking at past batches, hoping something with strike a chord.  Sure enough, a batch from last spring was exactly what I was looking for, my Hoppy Summer Wheat.
