Will the real yeast please rise up!

From time to time it seems that you will eventually have one billion organic problems that set out to make sure you fail. Such has been the case on a couple of our latest brew adventures. First there was Craig's pilsner which failed to step up to the plate and, just this week, the first batch of our Oktoberfest. How to deal with it? Easy....call in one billion more replacement yeast warriors to battle it out in the fermentation process.

Flat and sad...

After stressing out over the fact that this new brew was flat we called upon our new friends at the Magnolia Square Market in Sanford, FL to assist us with purchasing some new yeast to help kick start the process. Now, the Oktoberfest is acting like it is suppose to and burping away happily. The only hard part now is waiting the better part of eleven weeks to drink it. It should be ready for the UF versus Kentucky game come September 23rd though which is good.

Fluffy and happy...

Also, this weekend we will be enjoying some good company and brewing some good new beers. Over the next couple of weeks we will have around 400 bottles ready for drinking and over 150 new beers hanging out in Paul and becoming good friends. So, all is looking good for the OCBC. Oh yeah, GO USA!
