That’s right, we’re still cranking on FF and for December, it’s a kind of free-for all on days, but that works for me. I’ve been hit or miss with them anyway. For this FF, the question was about our favorite holiday homebrew.
For me, this brings up an interesting point because I am actually brewing a [...]
That’s right, beer isn’t just for dinner and lunch anymore, now it’s for breakfast. My friends over at the Brew Dudes have also been in on the Oatmeal Stout and I haven’t brewed one since I used to kit brew. I think it’s time to re-visit this classing breakfast drink.
Seriously though, I am going to be [...]
So I am pulling off a last second brew day – This is going to be a pale ale:
20lbs – US 2 row pale malt
1.5lbs Crystal 40L
.5lbs Munich
1.5oz UK Goldings
1.5oz (umm I forgot)
I am using the 1056 from my barley wine (I tasted it, and it was awesome!!!). I am going to be single infusion [...]
This weekend I was thinking that I would brew a small 3 gallon batch of barleywine for the fun of it. I have 10lbs of US 2 row pale malt just sitting around so might as well put it to good use.
The plan is simple enough:
12lbs US 2 row pale malt
1lb Crystal 40L
.5lb Crystal 10L

So, while Nick and Bryan were both pre-occupied, I was on my own for a brew day so I decided to do a brew that was not as conducive to the volume brews we had been doing. Since I hadn’t made a Belgian Dubbel since the Abbey I brewed in extract many years ago, I [...]
What better way to celebrate the end of a sub-zero temperature stretch than some early morning cold brewing? Since we both have some great conditions for lagerning brews, Nick and I decided to revisit our very successful “Samuel L. Jackson” brew that was a slightly stronger version of Sam Adams. Since we both enjoyed this [...]
While we in Upstate New York get pounded by our third or fourth straight day of 6 to 8 inch snow fall, I am sitting infront of a fire, watching Monday Night Football and enjoying an IPA. Life is good.
As for the brew day, there was room for improvement. Don’t get me wrong, I think [...]
This, the weekend before Christmas, is going to be a great time to hit up a cold weather brewing beer. An American pilsner was the first brew I ever made all-grain. I am skipping out on doing another American Pils because it’s a pretty bland style.
This brew is a German pils with a Czech pils [...]
*I reserve the right to gank images and use them in my blog because I don’t make any money off this.
Well we are into December and the days left to get some brew on are limited so I have dedicated myself to a schedule. Nick is limited in time and Bryan has been busy keeping [...]
This weekend Nick wasn’t available to brew, so Bryan and I brewed up hist first batch of all-grain. For this, I wanted to take another stab at my ribbon of participation winning California Common called Californication from last year. This year I made some changes to the recipe and quadrupled the recipe for [...]
