Well, my first lawnmower brew last night, well actually very early this morning since I didn't get to bed til 4:30 AM by the time I had cleaned up.
What's a lawnmower beer you ask? From the beerconniossuer.com. "The term “Lawnmower Beer” gets a lot of work around this time of year, usually in reference to a beer that’s light on flavour and heavy on hype, such as you might drink for refreshment following a particularly hot and sweaty activity, such as mowing the lawn. The typical characteristics displayed by such a brew are as follows: cold, wet, thirst quenching".
Yeah, I know, we live in a condo in Harrison and we don't have a lawn. I won't tell if you don't :)
HONEY KOLSCH
6 lbs Gold Malt Syrup
1 lb Honey late addition (0 min)1 oz Vanguard (60 min)
1 oz Vanguard (30 min)
Fermentis Safale US-05 Ale Yeast
When this beer is done, it’ll finish with a nice pale color, light body, and smooth mouth feel. The honey adds subtle floral character and lightens the body by fermenting to dryness. This is going to be a nice summer beer, the airlock is already bubbling away as the yeasties do their work. The pic is from my blackberry, for some reason the one I have takes horrible pics, yet others who have the same model take great pics, guess it's me.
Found a great new site for labels, http://www.beerlabelizer.com/ , a guy from HBT created it. You can create cool looking labels in minutes, just save them and print them out later.
You can see on the label it's part of our Lawnmower Series, a brew you can lean back and watch someone else cut your grass and actually down a few and not get bombed.
