So my wife and I have now officially been married for 5 years. The 5th anniversary was the “wood” anniversary and my wife got me these AWESOME custom tap handles. As if its not cool enough to get tap handles for an anniversary, she did it the right way. By that I mean she found [...]
All these years and it was like being greeted by and old friend. Not overbearing, not offensive or questioning, just pure comfort. I have to admit, I didn’t know what to expect, would there be a funk or something off? Maybe it would lack backbone and leave me wanting more. None of the above. It’s [...]
SN Harvest
Aroma – sweet vanilla notes with a floral hops, defiantly a lot of cascade in the nose.
Color – light copper color with an off-white head, the head holds up early and leaves thin lacing.

While I personally subscribe to the “when in Rome” theory of drinking, it’s always nice to learn a little [...]
I apologize for the letting my posts go this month, March Madness has me going a little crazy because there are still TWO CNY teams in the tourney, SU and the Cinderella story of the year, the Cornell Big Red. With all that said, I am still going to find some time to brew this [...]
I know it was a while back, but the Bobby Brown Ale that I brewed before Christmas has been on tap for a few weeks now and I entered a bottle into a club brew competition so I wanted to get my notes down.
Over all, this was a pretty straight forward brew day. Single infusion [...]
It’s been a while since I did this one and the first time I did this as an experiment in “Reiterated Mashing”, but this time with a 20gal mash tun, there was no need to split the mashes. This was a 10 gal batch that I used essentially the same recipe:
