It definitely was pretty bangin. I won't have time to fire up the grill again til Sunday, due to work obligations. I can't wait til my tomatoes, eggplants, onions, and garlic start pumping out veggies. It's going to be grilled eggplant parm time! One of my favorite dishes.The Hot Pepper said:

Oh man I need to try grilling eggplants to make my own moussaka (middle eastern not Greek). love that shit
The hefeweizen is done brewing, the yeast is pitched, and blow off tube has been attached. Hefe yeasts are pretty ferocious, but ferment quickly. I'm fermenting it at 74 degrees to see if I can get some extra banana esters. This whole batch will probably be drank in one day at the music festy, but I still want it to taste proper!
Oooh, I bet that's good. I'll have to give it a go this Summer. My wife loves Greek style moussaka, so that's what we usually make at home. I'll give a ME version a shot with some home grown and grilled eggplant, to compare.The Hot Pepper said:

Didn't realize you liked that style. I'll send some your way one day. I don't like Hefe personally...
The Greek as you know is like a lasagna with meat and eggplant but the Middle Eastern is vegetarian with more focus on the eggplants with tomatoes onions and oil but delicious especially when all roasted or grilled.
Warm pitas
It was a style that was requested by other people in our camp. We'll be camping for four days at this festy, so I have to brew something to appeal to the rest of my tent neighbors. I'll also be brewing a NEIPA, and taking a case of meads.Grass Snake said:
Sharing with the Mrs. The carbonation is on point with this one..
The color on that reminds me of Swish.
Thanks for the link, I'll give it a shot!t0mato said:
 Baby Genius reminds me of my beloved Stormy oat IPA. Too bad it's seasonal but I'll try and send some out next time it comes around.
Tomato you need a new avatar. The only thing neat is Deez 
It might be something good to make at the festy. Vegetables stay good for quite while with no refrigeration in hot weather. Cheese...not so much. I'm taking my Weber out there. I'm sure an eggplant queso would go ever well with my, uh...hippy neighbors.t0mato said:
