The addition of Midnight Wheat Malt imparts a subtle depth, while the Magnum and Saaz hops provide a delicate balance of bitterness and floral notes. Fermented with the renowned French Saison yeast, this beer boasts a dry, farmhouse character that is quintessentially saison.

August #7100MilesIn2024 Progress
Well ... after my #1200MileSeptember ... I'm running so far ahead of the pace I need to accomplish my 2024 Strava goals ... #7100MilesIn2024 and #11EverestsIn2024, that I'm not even sure it makes sense to talk about them being goals.
I've ridden 6,311 miles so far this year, which means I only need 789 miles over the rest of the year to hit #7100MilesIn2024. That's only 263 miles per month.
I've gained 325,183 fee in elevation so far, which means I only need 27,169 feet over the next 3 months. That's an average of only 9,056 feet per month.
I don't know the last time I've cycled that little in a month.
Now, I'm on pace to blow away my new Strava elevation goal, 348,384 (which is 12 x 29,032 feet).
If I continue on my mileage pace, I should be able to get way more than 7,200 miles.

2024 Q3 SheppyBrew Stats
It is already October, which blows my mind. Where did the summer go?
Of course, this means the 3rd Quarter of 2024 is done. We can report on the Q3 SheppyBrew Brewing Stats.
When it comes right down to it, I'm sure no one besides myself really cares, but I like to look back on these posts to see how much I've brewed and what I was planning on brewing at certain points of the year.
As I've been saying, I expect that I'll brew less beer this year than I have for the past several years, and so far it does look like I'm tracking for a lower volume than 2023.
In fact, as of October 1 ... I was on track for just over 93 gallons for 2024, which would be the least amount I've brewed since 2018.
In this quarter, I brewed 4 batches of beer:
- Hail Storm Summer Saison ... 2024 Hail Storm Summer Saison (batch 359)
- N.T.S. Faux Pilsner ... N.T.S. Faux Pilsner (Batch 360)
- 1519 Barker Exportbier ... 1519 Barker Exportbier (Batch 361)
- Falling Leaves Autumn Saison ... 2024 Falling Leaves Autumn Saison (Batch 362)
