Beer Brewing

I finally had some free time in my schedule so I went to brew some beer with my friends this weekend. We brewed a partial mash IPA, and my all grain America Hefeweizen. I decided to bring my video camera equipment along and do some video work as well. We had a great time and I'm very excited to start brewing more regularly. We'll see how much time I can devote to it between all my other projects.

I was astonished by the active fermentation occurring in my beer tonight. So much in fact that I shot, edited, and published a quick video showing it off. Check it out! For those of you unfamiliar with the brewing process, the particulate is a very natural part of the brewing process. It all settles to the bottom of the carboy at the end of primary fermentation and is filtered out upon transport to secondary. In this batch we used whirfloc (a coagulant/clearing agent), so the particulate is a bit more pronounced at this stage then normal (esp due to the light color of Hefeweizen).
