Slow brewing month...

Really want to get back in the swing of things, but the vacation, the kids school start-up, and a large load of work from the employer have taken precedence. I have a hefe in the bottle for three weeks now that I realize I haven't documented yet, so I'll have to add that post shortly.

On deck (ingredients on hand):

Saison
Oktoberfest (first lager!)
Pale Ale
Gluten-free Sorghum Ale

Upcoming (need to make purchases):
