Another weekend off

With last weekend being completely devoted to the kids and installing our new Pergo floor, I am taking this weekend a little easy - and not brewing. By the end of the week I'll have nearly 50 gallons in kegs, so its not like I'm in danger of running out of homebrew sometime soon. Some of the things I wanted to have brewed by the competition aren't going to happen, but I've got plenty of candidates for submission, so I'll be just fine.

So my new schedule is to brew 10 gallons of Belgian Wit next weekend, followed by 10 gallons of Peated Scottish the following.... although that's just a rough timetable since Donna's b-day is coming up on the 3rd - and we've got plans to go to the Rehobeth / Lewes outlets for that. The kids also went totally ape for the ocean last time, and I imagine it will be no different this time.

Sometime soon I'll try to brew my Ommegang clone - but getting enough yeast to reculture and getting it stepped up will be a challenge.

A weekend off? What a concept!
 
I'm assuming you found your bitter orange peel?
 
Yeah... HDYB has restocked some, so I went in there and bought another couple ounces. Two I'll use this weekend in my 10 gallon batch of Belgian Wit, and the other ounce I'll use in the Ommeclone... (or at least some fraction of it).
