MBC Back Online!

Dearest Reader(s),

It has been awhile. Nearly two years since we have spoken. Things have changed quite a bit here at Midnight Brewing. B Brewer has moved on to the Maryland area (with half the MBC equipment) and I am now in the Boston area. I can count on one hand the number of times I have brewed this year and obviously I have written nothing about those few brews. For that I am sorry.

But fear not! I have since purchased a new kettle, fermenter and false bottom (more on this later) and brewing is going to start up again. Of course since I am in Boston this means that Midnight Brewing is located in Boston (not Maryland B Brewer sorry). I plan on brewing this weekend. And next weekend. And the following weekend. Not only that but *Gasp* I will probably write about the new adventures of Midnight Brewing here for your reading pleasure!

Just to give you a preview, this weekend will be the first time use of the false bottom. Up until now we have always used a braided hose in our lauter tun (Round drink cooler) which has had its fair share of problems. So hopefully from this weekend I can lay down some fresh lautering wisdom. I have also met some Boston homebrewers that work with 15 gallon batches (brewed indoors no less) that I would like to profile at some point.

So there you have it readers. Midnight Brewing is back and beer will be on tap (in bottle?) soon! So relax, breathe easy and why not pop open a homebrew to celebrate!
