On Tuesday I experienced the one event that al brewers fear – the empty keg. \u00a0Somehow, I have three beers in-progress, but not one ready for drinking. \u00a0So its time for an emergency brew session.<\/p>\n

Today’s beer is a somewhat special brew for me – for the first time I grew my own hops over the summer, and have a few ounces of Goldings that need to make their way into beer. Because the goal of this brew is to highlight these hops, the beer itself is simple – it would be a Marris Otter\/Golding SMaSH, if not for the addition of the invert sugar I accidentally made<\/a> while trying to make my own Belgian Candi Sugar<\/a>. \u00a0I purchased some East Kent Goldings for bittering, as I do not know the alpha acid content of my home-grown hops.<\/p>\n

Some may be wondering about the name – it comes directly from one of my favourite Monty Python scenes:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
