TTB-WY

Here's a more timely posting of the latest update from Two Thumbs Brewing - Wyoming...

"Leaving off from last time, I was in the carbonation phase of my cherry-vanilla stout. While the stout was a success, it is a bit strong on the cherry flavor for my taste. I used a little less than ¾ of the bottle of cherry flavor. It overpowered the vanilla flavor and much of the natural stout flavor. With our carboys empty, the co-manager of TTBC Wyoming, Devin, decided she would give brewing a try. We decided on a cream ale, made from some of the ingredients of the cream ale kit at Northern Brewer plus some left-over grains that I already had in the fridge. Our cream ale is currently mellowing and should be ready for consumption by the end of April. Preliminary taste tests indicate this beer will be quite palatable and will be readily enjoyed whenever the warm weather hits Wyoming (we got 2 or 3 inches of snow on April 26th).

Production at TTBC Wyoming will slow in the coming summer months due to increased apartment temperatures (it doesn’t get much below 80 in the summer), increased waistline of master brewer, and a stockpile of ready to drink beers. When brewing commences, my plan is to make a “graveyard” brew, mixing together grains that I already have taking up room in the fridge. Chances are it will be on the darker side since that is mostly what I have been brewing in the past."
