April 15th 7pm at Akasha Brewing, we will be hosted once more for our monthly meeting. Join us as we discuss the science and practice of adding sugar to beer. Craig Gardone will educate us on how and when to add sugar and how the timing and sugar type impacts the end product. Ever wonder what the ideal time to add sugar is? Well wonder no more! If we’re well behaved, we might even get to do another triangle test. Don’t forget to bring some homebrew and vote for your favorite too!

Brandon Schaefer brewed his ‘So Funkdafied’ Belgian Ale recipe at Cumberland Brews recently. It is part of head brewer, JD Vasher’s efforts to add more variety to Bardstown Road microbrewery’s line up. With lots of Pilsner, a little Caravienne, Candi Syrup, Cane Sugar, Hallertau, East Kent Golding and interesting yeast combinations, Brandon has created a drier, hoppier Orval- like Belgian Ale. Or as he likes to describe it, “…a funky dry hopped thing of wonder.” JD anticipates tapping ‘So Funkdafied’ around Derby time. Details on the party to follow. @proostbrewery, @cumberlandbrews, @lagershomebrewclub, @jdlonghammer
