ABOUT ME

About Me: I am a wicked big brewing nerd (and yes, I'm from Boston). I haven't been brewing long, but it came so naturally to me, I feel like I've been doing it my whole life. I love giving brewing advice to those who seek it, and I also just love talking homebrew for hours and hours on end. A fun fact about me is that I don't have a favorite style...it seems that my favorite is always whatever amazing beer I have never tried before. As such I like brewing and drinking literally everything and mixing it up as much as possible.
General Interests: Homebrewing
Occupation: Student, Musician
Real Name: Jeffrey Cutts
Favorite Books: The Complete Joy of Homebrewing, The Homebrewer's Companion, Designing Great Beers, Brewing Classic
Home Brewing Biography: I started homebrewing in February of 2010. I read The Complete Joy of Homebrewing cover to cover before I even started, so I was obsessed by the time I bought my equipment. My obsession evolved quickly, and I was already going all grain (and kegging) by my fifth batch. My fourth batch was an all-original Thai-inspired recipe that received an "Excellent" score in the Sam Adams Longshot competition. I wasn't able to brew at all in the fall of 2010, but my mind kept working, and I formulated some 20 odd new recipes to try out in the near future. I'm back up and running now, and I am super excited to be cranking out more recipes at will.

Posted in thread: Do you keep a lager on tap for friends? on 10-10-2012 at 12:41 PM
I wouldn't go as far as American lager...unless you really enjoy that and want something along
those lines on your tap system [no judgment here!]. I definitely like to have a variety of
beers on taps,...
Posted in thread: New(?) idea for chilling in summer. on 06-30-2012 at 06:34 PM
Sounds like a good plan if you've got all that equipment. Sort of a more high tech version of
using a pre-chiller in an ice bucket to cool the water down for one's immersion [or
counterflow] chiller.
Posted in thread: So who's brewing this weekend? on 03-29-2012 at 01:58 PM
Planning out what will inevitably be my first summery beer: a witbier brewed with ras el hanout
instead of just coriander and fresh tangerine zest. It's gonna be delicious, y'all.

You could always make a starter and if your starter never takes off, then your yeast is
obviously no good and you're really no worse for wear. I would probably still try it, though...

I feel compelled to point out that as I post this, I am in fact wearing a bow tie [BowThai]

Those sound like some pretty cool beers. I gotta ask, whats the BowThai ale?It's sort of my
signature recipe. Basically its a Thai-spiced honey coconut ale with ginger/coriander/Thai
basil/Thai chilis...

Keg Cowboy has great prices for the stuff that you'll need...I would cross-check that with
Midwest Supplies and Northern Brewer, maybe make some spreadsheets, and see which one will get
you the lowest...

It is a good sign. The more your beer smells like beer, the better hahaHope your batch turns
out well!

Here are answers to your questions:You can definitely install a faucet through fridge doors,
there are no freon lines. In fact, I just did it today! Shanks are required, otherwise your
faucet won't be...

Strawberry-Blonde Buzzin' BimboI love naming beers, and I love when friends suggest names for
me, too. As you might guess, pretty much all the beers in my signature are original recipes, so
I definite...
