Tomorrow I am utilizing:
6.5 pounds of wheat malt extract
3 pounds of malted barley from Germany
2 ounces of tettnang german hops
1 vial of hefeweizen ale yeast
in order to make a WEIZENBOCK, designed by Laura!
I'll be brewing at 7PM if you want to join me!
The weizenbock awaits a name and should be ready by mid-April. Continue enjoying the Chocolburn until then and let me know how you like it!

Guest Review: Chocolburn
Pours a thick dark liquid - almost seems slimy. I can instantly smell the malts and hints of chocolate. It has a bit of a smoky smell to it, almost as if it were oaked. The chocolate scent comes at the end. It's very smooth and creamy, and the taste is great! I can't even taste the alcohol. I taste malt, caramel, a bit of coffee and some chocolate. Although the chocolate doesn't seem to stand out, this is a very enjoyable stout. The flavors blend together nicely and it's very easy to drink. A great stout from Pillbox Brewery.

New Stuff
I like being the author of a blog because of all the cool toys google gives you to try out.
Check out the survey over to your right! Pretty cool, huh?
Also to your right is a "follow via email" thingy. Type in your email address and it will update you automatically when I post new stuff. Neato. I'm not sure exactly what it does so I subscribed and this blog post will be my first updated email notification (it's actually the real reason why I'm writing this post at all - to see if it works).
And if you didn't know, these check boxes below the text are for your responses to the post in case you don't want to leave a full comment. I appreciate all participation! See the thing is with blogs is that you will read them if I keep writing new stuff for you to read that is interesting. But I loose the drive to write new stuff if I don't think anyone will read it. So help me out, leave a comment even if it's stupid. At least I know you're still alive.
Love,
Brendan

Hey Brew Members!
You may be wondering, "when is the next ale from Pillbox coming out?"
Well I will tell you: Right Now.
The Chocolburn Chocolate stout is ready to be picked up now and will be ready to drink on March 23rd! I will carry some around in my trunk or you can pick up some at my apartment if I'm around.
This is a very chocolatey stout and I'm excited to hear how you all like it! Once you taste it, please write a review with tasting notes! I would love to post it on the blog.
Happily,
Your Brewmaster
