I brewed a satsuma farmhouse on Saturday. Went well. Probably my last brew until the new year. Too much shite on the calendar. I might try and sneak a cider in there as that takes all of 20 minutes.

Well this is my last brew until i make room for more. I basically need to drink a case and a half of beer. I got a tight squeeze in my fermenting freezer with 2 cases of beer and 2 wine boxes of bombers and 1 carboy. One box of bombers are aging beers, the other are homebrews.
I did end up picking up Parish Grand Reserve Saturday. I was surprised to find some left. I went to Matherne's on perkins and they had 1 left, and i quickly snatched it. Then went to Marcello's for a spigot for my bottling bucket, and asked for it. THe guy said he could sell me 1 bottle. So i've now accumulated 2 bottles. I then went to Cuban Liquor, hoping to go 3 for 3, but they were out. They did say, however, that they should be getting more Wednesday.

Oh, and i remember, my last brew i was using 2 qts/lb of grain, and i almost overtopped my mash tun. Well this time i used 1.25 qts/lb and i got much better efficiency. The previous brew was about 70% eff, while this one was 77%. The last brew was my best, so far, but i think this one may surpass it. That is, unless the whiskey barrel, taints my brew. I'd almost rather just secondary in my 5 gallon carboy and add soaked wood chips, so i don't contaminate my beer with whatever may be growing in that whiskey barrel.
