Now on Tap: Progressive Pale Ale

12/11/2008

I declare my Progressive Pale Ale fit for consumption!  Brewed on Election Day, 2008.

I tried something a little different this time and let it "secondary ferment" in the keg for over 2 weeks.  All told, it spent about 10 days in primary fermentation, over 2 weeks in secondary and a little over a week in the fridge, carbonating.  A total of about 5 weeks, which is longer than I have been able to let other brews sit for!

It has a nice head on it, but is a bit on the dark side and also a little cloudy.  I think the creamy head and cloudiness is due to the use of flaked oats.  While the flaked oats give a nice smooth mouthfeel - I think I am going to use the oats on future Stouts/Porters and maybe some brown ales and leave it out of these others.

I have had a few pints of it already, and it is damn good.  Another success!  I fear it wont last too long, though, so come and get it while you can.

Salute!
