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 [...]
Nick was out of town so I decided to do a solo batch of maibock using a Munich yeast I had been holding onto for a while. This was the same yeast I used on the Oktoberfest. It’s a great yeast and I have the fridge space to do it so I figured ‘why not?’.

This is the tale of two ESB’s. Last brew day we did a 20 gallon batch so both Nick and I had 10 gallons. Coming out of the primary, both were pretty cloudy and lacked any clarity. Having been down this path before, I decided to add gelatin. However, since I had two of the [...]
This was the first weekend brewing with the NEW 100qt mash tun. While there is still a lot of work to be done on this hoss, we figured we would give it a test drive the old fashioned way; put her to work. We decided the best way to do that was a 20gallon batch [...]
This past weekend we brewed up three batches of brew. We also broke a new brewer into the hobby when by wife’s cousin Bryan (Yes MNB, spelled like Bryan Adams, no need to get all giddy) joined us and brewed up an extract batch. When the day was all said and done, we had brewed [...]
OK – So I’m a little late with this one, but I have been distracted by a little side story that caught my attention. All I have to say that even our politicians screw ups are better than those in Georgia.
So this weekend Nick and I brewed up the Oktoberfest from last year. In true [...]
In the true spirit of a Marzen, we are going to be brewing an Oktoberfest this weekend. With hopes of matching the success of the fall 2007 Oktoberfest party, the plan is to brew up 10 gallons of this delicious brew and let it age till late September when we can have friends over to [...]
So we went ahead and brewed this weekend to get ourselves back on track. This was again the Celebration Ale clone in exchange for wine bottles. The recipe is the same as in the previous post,except that we decided to replace the Amarillo hops with Cascade out of the pound we picked up. So when [...]
