Hey fellow brewers/fermenters! A quick FYI for you all: We have accumulated a rather large supply of 2nd hand carboys here at the Homebrew Shop. They are all glass, various sizes and are on sale at 1/2 the price of a new carboy! Soooooo.... Stop on by the shop, pick-up your fall brewing supplies and maybe a spare carboy or two or three?!! Hope to see you all soon, AND thank you for all your support!!! The IndieFerm Supply Crew

We will be pouring at the South Shore Farmer Brew Fest this Sunday in Bridgewater. Black Hat Brewing has been hosting this festival for many years and it is always a great time. For one admission you get to try the best b**rs from almost all of the local breweries. We will have some unusual b**rs for you and probably also some OkTUBAfest L***r.

Danke Schön to all you Oktubafest enthusiasts who helped us celebrate yesterday. A special thanks to Stacy, Jason, and Maggie who worked so hard to feed the hungry masses and to The Pretentious Pickle Company and Wilde Flour for bringing their special treats.

Ach du meine Güte! This week went sooo fast and Oktubafest is tomorrow! In addition to the German b**r, food, and music that we already told you about, we will have a new lineup of German w**es: Riesling, Liebfraumilch, and Gewürztraminer, oh my! All three are white w**es that vary from dry to sweet. All three made in-house by IndieFerm.

Riesling is a high-acid, light-to-medium-bodied w**e featuring crisp green apple, lime, and white peach flavors alongside characteristic floral or mineral notes. It ranges from bone-dry to intensely sweet. Ours is on the dry end of sweetness.

Liebfraumilch literally means "milk of Our Lady," referring to the Virgin Mary. It is named after the vineyards surrounding the Liebfrauenkirche (Church of Our Lady) in the city of Worms. This w**e is a light, semi-sweet white blend rather than a single grape varietal. It is soft, fruity, and generally low in acidity.

Gewürztraminer is a bolder, sweeter, full-bodied, low-acidity w**e with a richer texture. It has aromas of lychee, rose petal, ginger, and exotic baking spices.

Bis Morgen.

Prost!

The countdown to OkTUBAfest continues. The weather forecast is looking perfect for Saturday and we are almost ready. Come hungry (and thirsty) because we will have lots of great food for you.

Maggie's Pierogi's will be making her soon-to-be-famous oversized pierogis for you in several different flavors (traditional, pulled pork, kraut) and even an apple pie pierogi for dessert.

Stacy's Presidential Brats and Burgers will be with us too. You have to try the German Potato Salad. Stacy was the chef for two US Presidents and she will be with us to cook for you too.

The Pretentious Pickle Company will be with us with all of their pickled greatness including pickles made with IndieFerm's Oktubafest L***r.

And, Wilde Flour bakery will have all kinds of tasty treats for dessert and more. Have you had their cinnamon rolls?

The festival starts at 1pm and goes until 5pm. Location: 127 Camelot Drive in Plymouth.

The countdown continues...IndieFerm Oktoberfest is almost here. It's this Saturday October 3rd from 1 to 5 pm.

We went through the b**r list in yesterday's post, let's talk about the music today. The music starts at 2pm with the Chowderhorn Brass band (and guests) playing traditional New Orleans style jazz and then German oompah music. The Saints will Come Marching In and then march on to the B**r Barrel Polka and more.

As many of you may know, the Shady Roosters are kind of the house band at IndieFerm with the brewery owner (Paul) and lead brewer (Moose) in the band. The Chowderhorn Brass Band includes Paul on saxophone and Moose on Tuba plus Nathan and Eric from the Shady Roosters on cornet and trombone. Add another cornet, trombone and drums and you have the Chowderhorn Brass Band.

Following the Chowderhorns, we will have Dave's Garage featuring Dave Yaeger jammin and groovin from 4 to 6 pm. Dave is everyone's favorite science teacher at Plymouth South High School and he is also a fine musician. His new band is Dave's Garage.

And, the whole event is a fundraiser for the Plymouth Schools Music Association. Admission is free but we do hope you can make a small donation of $5 or more per adult to the PSMA ( https://plymouthschoolsmusic.org/ ). Your donation will help the PSMA provide positive support and financial assistance to the music programs and promote and encourage the music students and performing arts groups of the school district.
