Howdy everybody. I know it has been a while, but I have been pretty busy with my real job and with celebrating the Iowa Hawkeyes win over the (formerly) #3 ranked Penn State Nittany Lions.
Things have been going pretty well with Four Lane since the first night. I am still getting a bubble every 15-20 seconds; much less frequently than last week. I took a gravity reading tonight and was pleased that the bad boy is at 1.038. This gives an inital alcohol by volume measurement of 10.5%. With fermentation still going, plus secondary and bottling left, I think 1.030 is possible for a grand total of 11% ABV. The taste of it is absolutely delicious. It is full-bodied, hoppy, with enough of an alcohol taste that you won't forget that this is a big beer.
Nothing big going on this weekend, but I do have a chocolate cherry bock in the plans that I might get started on around Thanksgiving.
Till later!
