    Star San: what you don't want to do with it

    I need to hide this thread from SWMBO. She's been agitating for new counters in the kitchen for years. I can see her stooping to dropping $50 on StarSan and having an "accident"

    2014 Brewyears Resolutions

    Brew more frequently which means handing out more beer which means building a beer gun and buying more cornies. Looks like 2014 should be a good year.

    Wyeast 3822 PC - Dutch Castle

    I finally bottled this yesterday even though it was ready to go last weekend. Slow but steady, it hit its final gravity of 1.020. There's no sign of infection but sampling the dregs from the bottling bucket there is a strong hint of sour to the flavor to go along with the stone fruit and malt...

    Belgian Dark Strong Grain Bill

    Just finished reading the Brew Like a Monk book and the most surprising thing to me was how vanilla the grain bills are for the various trappist breweries. Most are some combination of pilsner malt, one or two dark crystal/caramel, and Belgian candi sugar. All of the complexity comes from the...

    What's your favorite glass?

    I normally use a plain pint glass because I don't get mad when one breaks. For special occasions, however, I've been known to break out the half yard.

    Wyeast 3822 PC - Dutch Castle

    Updating: Pitched this on the 27th of October to a 1.085 Belgian Dark wort. I've gone to kegging earlier this year but want to bottle condition this beer to hand out for the holidays. I also wanted to avoid tying up one of my few cornies for six months or more. Normally I would have bottled...

    Wyeast 3822 PC - Dutch Castle

    Just added this to what is basically a Rochefort 8 clone. Not sure I'm going to be able to keep it as warm as it might like or present it with much of a challenge attenuation-wise. My OG was a mere 1.085 and this thing reads like it is a horse. Picked it up because the LHBS didn't have the...

    Basement Brew Pub

    That's so beautiful I'm thinking you could just get a zoning variance and have your commercial taproom after all.

    Saving a bottle from every batch...

    I hold one back from each batch for six months. It started as a way to prove to myself that I should brew often enough that I could cellar my brews for several months instead of keeping half a step ahead of having to run to the store. Last brew day I made a second batch of a recipe based...

    Thanks for the help, all. Makes a lot of sense now that it has been explained.
