    ABOUT ME

  • Dirty Water
  • Making beer,drinking beer,barbecuing,RC helicopters,fishing,snowboarding.
  • IT Manager
  • Craig
  • Primarily Hip-hop, but I listen to EVERYTHING. I'm a fan of music first, then rap.
  • Plenty. Too many to list.
  • House, Lost, Sopranos, Spike's PowerBlock. And anything on History, TLC, Discovery, Science.
  • 1984. The Time Machine.
  • 8 gal Cooper's Fermenter, 2 6.5 gal glass carboys, Ale Pail bottling bucket, 90 bottle tree, autosiphon, floating thermometer, hydrometer from Cooper's kit. I usually do a case of bombers, and the rest in 12oz bottles. Looking forward to kegging, and doing all grain brewing. I just need a bigger mantown for that. :) I get just about all my stuff from Barleycorn's Craft Brew, in downtown Natick MA.
  • Strawberry Summer Ale. Barleycorn's "Bambino Summer Ale" kit, with strawberry flavor to be added at bottling.
  • Spiced Pumpkin Ale (1.070). My modification of the "Thunderstruck" recipe from here.
  • Scotch Ale, on a bed of Fuggles.
  • "Black Cat Blonde" (Ultralight LME, Cascades/Goldings boil, Fuggles dry, fresh lemon zest, ginger, catnip, coriander, grains of paradise)

    "Belgian Dark" (dried Curacao orange peel, coriander)

    "St. James Gate" Guinness Clone

    "Home Opener" 8.0% Honey Lager, durned out like a 'baby Duvel'.
  • Not yet, but looking forward to it. My uncle used to home brew back in the day, and has most of the equipment needed. I just need a bigger mantown.

    Mine came out ok. Next time I would have probably doubled the pumpkin... The flavor was there,
    but wasn't really prominent.

    Newest revision. I actually even have a guy in SD making me some period correct stoneware
    bottles that I can fill and cork. He's imprinting them with 'Murphy Brewers - Boxborough, MA',
    which is going ...

    Never even looked. I STILL have the 90min IPA in the primary, and an American Strong Ale on
    deck... This will likely be after that.Now you're gonna make me have to go and find a recipe
