What's been freakin' happening...

Well it seems to be a busy time for both of the Freak Bros in the last month, we havent really brewed anything together since the American Wheat for the IBU club last month (and that was a week late for the meeting). In the mean time we have both managed to keep the brewing alive. I took a trip in the way back machine and made a 5gal partial mash English Mild and Freak finally made a hard cider with some help and direction from our fellow IBU member John Douglas... the strange part is that neither of us knew that the other was brewing at about the same time, I guess that when you gotta' brew... you gotta' brew. Here's the recipe for the English Mild:

Retro Brew Mild.
5 gal Partial mash Extract.

5lbs Munton's light DME
.5lbs Crystal 40
.5lbs Crystal 120
.25lbs Pale Chocolate Malt
2oz EKG (Goldings) 60'
Wyeast 1968 London ESB

So far so good, the yeast took off quickly and the beer fermented out in about 4 days. Right now it's just chillin' in the secondary waiting to be kegged.

Freak, feel free to put your cider recipe on here.

Cheers, "E"
