Trip to Egypt

I have recently returned from a trip to Egypt, a place of beer's birth after tasting several varieties of brew.  Came with some great ideas for future batches.

Sakkara -- Very Nice Beer
In addition, along the way tried a couple of Russian beers while we were in the airport in Moscow ... they were great.

I have been also sampling my own beers and two of them are ready to take to competition -- Sweet Sharon Honey Wheat Biscuit and Brinton's Wheat Mist.  The next batch I make of each will be the ones I take to the next level.  Additionally, I have removed the molasses from the Maine's Moose Musk (a sweet stout) and replaced it with the apples I plan to have in the final recipe ... also added lactose powder to improve the mouth feel ... four weeks until testing can begin since I will be bottling tomorrow.

Soon there will be a porter in my collection -- more to come.
