    Using Oak Spirals

    This is my first time using oak spirals. I have had one soaking in some Cabernet Sauvignon red wine for two months, and I just started soaking the other in this delicious Oakey Vanilla Whiskey. My question is, does anyone have experience putting soaked oak spirals in your beers. Good turnouts...

    What are you drinking now?

    A peanut butter jelly brown ale I brewed 😋🍻. I used pb2 during boil, steeped some caramel and chocolate specialty grains, then added rasberries during second half of fermentation. It turned out really good! Easy-going peanutbuttery ale, with a hint of rasberry there. Nothing overwhelming. Only...

    Struggled with Chemistry, not good at Cooking, but Brewing?

    I think Trigonometry was useless. Glad I was taught what a cosine is to prepare me for life, instead of how to do my taxes, build credit, work on cars, etc 🤣. Luckily my dad and others taught those, oh and the mitochondria is the powerhouse of the cell.

    Struggled with Chemistry, not good at Cooking, but Brewing?

    So in high school I was terrible at Chemistry. I thought oh Math isn't too bad, I can knock this out. Oh, Basic Science, Biology? I survived that. Introducing CHEMISTRY. Dun dun dun. I struggled and probably wouldn't have passed if it were not for a girl I was dating in the class who coached me...

    Greetings from Saudi.

    Daaang. Haha, I spent a few months in Saudi Arabia, in the capital. So many things were illegal there. The worst part was the no alcohol. Although many guards there offered to get us alcohol on the black market 🤣. No thanks..that would have been punishment from both the Saudi Gov. and the U.S...
