Just a quick update, I brought the cream ale over to my in-laws house for Christmas Eve and it was a hit. Plus my brother-in-law took a case I bottled up for him home.
In my opinion, Oktoberfest is still the best gateway beer, but the cream ale is a close second. It’s a nice [...]
How appropriate that my 100th post is just a quick “Merry Christmas” message…
Best wishes from all of us at the Look Kinney Brewery.
So last night I went ahead and kegged/bottled the cream ale. It’s been in secondary for about 2 weeks and I decided it was time to do the deed.
Now for this project, I bottle up about a case of the cream ale for some of my “brew bartering” because my brother-in-law offered me his old [...]

To help deal with this, [...]
So last night I was racking over my Kolsch from the secondary into a keg and I was harvesting the traub to use for an alt in the future. It was just then it happened, I turned my head and my yeast bit me! The goddamn stuff jumped out of the bottle and bit my [...]
We just finished up a great brew day! By the time things were all said and done, we had 11 gallons of cream ale with an OG of 1.044 making our efficiency 71%!
Now I know that people always say “don’t worry about how high your efficiency is as long as you are making good beer, [...]
So after my trip to the the brew shop I have to say that MAYBE I jumped the gun on the “apocalypse scenario” about the hops shortage. Ed from my LHBS EJ Wren just got in an unexpected full delivery of hops from his supplier. He has hops in all styles except some of [...]
