Crooked Rooster 2010

There’s nothing quite like pushing the amps to 11, rocking Queen and all of the classic greats while brewing my favorite beer. This will be my last brew before the big move to Burien, so I am also packing up everything as I finish with it.

Last year this beer wowed my friends and they have been demanding it ever since. Ten gallons this time, plus the addition of a gallon and a bit of fresh pressed cider to one keg. We’ll see what that does.

The only other addition this year is I am trying two different Saison yeasts, the Belgian and the French. However, with the addition of the cider, I may void that comparison. We’ll see.

Alright, gotta go sanitize some buckets
