Don’t worry, biking to come. This is the breakout weekend. Shoulder is healed (I hope) and I’ll be putting it to the test to make sure I can lead the Wednesday night ride for the first time in a month. Best of luck to all the racers at 24 Hours of Big Bear this weekend. I raced last year, but I’m out of all these really big, high money entry fee races this season…$150 is too rich for my blood.
At least all this time off has had me brewing a lot. The original Hop Dog IPA is done it’s secondary fermentation and dry hopping. I went ahead and kegged it on Devil’s Day with a little help from the Busterman.
I’ll be back at again this weekend. I need to keg up my malty sweet version of Hop Dog IPA and then move the Raspberry Wheat Ale into the secondary. Then I have to get in another brew session and try and brew up a Belgian White beer for the family reunion, something nice and crisp for that beach living. I can also really feel the Imperial IPA calling my name. It whispers ingredients to me in my sleep…it says to use some Belgian grains, lots of malt extract, a little wheat dry malt extract, and a hell of a lot of hops…hmm…like a 6 oz. dry hop…oh yea. I’m talking over 10% abv. and over 100 IBUs. That’s right, time to go big.

ya know….
the money is a bit much
but
it is a great race
five laps…. at one fifty…
that is realy thirty bucks a lap
which is pretty standard cost for a standard one lap race
it was a great race and a great course!
too bad the price is a deturrent to not just you but many people
Check out your 2 seconds of Bike and Beer fame! Thanks for the recommendation. I could only find the Alaskan Smoked Porter in the extra large bottle. Shared it with a friend.
Good luck with your Belgian White, that’s one of my favorites.
