ABOUT ME

About Me: Used to help my college roommate brew in the 70s, but fairly new to brewing myself. Practiced law for almost 25 years until disabled by a brain stem stroke. My wonderful wife bought me a brew kit from a LHBS in the area thinking it would be a good hobby for me and help replace my job - now she thinks I am obsessed. I brew AG with a pretty ghetto set up - converted Golden Gate keg purchased legally from a local brewery, and a 48 quart cooler/mash tun with a CPVC manifold. It amazes me that someone like me can brew pretty decent beer on a setup like that.
General Interests: Beer, Guns and Gardening
Occupation: Ex-lawyer
Favorite Music: Grateful Dead
Home Brewing Biography: Started doing extract with steeped specialty grains. Second batch was the same, but an original recipe. Third brew was an AG BIAB. After that I built a mash tun and never looked back.
Future Brews: Lots of homebrew.
Primary: Pale Ale, Rye IPA, Irish Red.
Secondary: RIS (bulk aging for a few months).
Bottled: I mostly keg but have bottled a number of batches - currently have Apfelwein, Jubeale clone and Black Butte Porter in amounts greater than a case or so, plus some random bottles. Note: none of what you just read about what's in primary, bottles, and kegs is likely up to date.
Kegged: Currently: Two kegs of my own 2 Bad Dogs IPA; have killed lots of kegs of IPAs DIPAs, Blondes, ESBs, etc.
Gender: Male
Status: Married

City: Portland

State/Province: Oregon

Posted in thread: 3-week fermentation and then bottling....being just an urban legend? on 06-17-2013 at 05:26 PM
I leave most of my beers in primary two to three weeks because I can and because I like the way
it tastes when I do. I generally ferment in the low 60s and end up with a very clean
fermentation and a ...

Rogue is more about brand image than making good beer. EVERYTHING Rogue does is designed to
build this image. Hell, even their General Counsel is the "Attorney General of Rogue Nation,"

Finally, my favorite LHBS has its low-priced, but very good, base malt back in stock. I ordered
