    Brewing Career Updates

    Two years pilot brewing for peanuts got me seven bottles on the wall and taught me a great deal about marketers and crafters. I'm still at it! I left that rat race, and found a partime home at our LHBS. (Folsom, Roseville, West Sac Brewmeister) For the last three months I have been tending our...

    I Quit Smoking

    I picked up the e-cig five months after quitting, not one month as misleading statements suggest. It's a two steps forward, one back situation, yet still progress. I'm not pretending anything. I have ordered zero nicotine juice, and the stuff I have now is bare minimum 0.6 mg. I probably...

    I Quit Smoking

    I quit five months ago, cold turkey. It took forty five days until I didn't feel withdrawal symptoms. It's 100% willpower. Now I feel great.

    Tube & Shell Heat Exchanger

    IMO wort should be in tubes, and apparatus should be designed with large tri-clover fittings so tubes can be cleaned between uses with bottle brush. Propylene glycol or preheat water to HLT through shell.

    Whole coffee beans vs. cold brew coffee

    I've done many cold brew beer batches of coffee beer, but never tried steeping in secondary. Two of them have been scaled up for production, The Kenyan and The Sauce, very well received. Make a strong base beer 7-8% Alc/Vol and dilute with 16% cold brewed coffee at bottling time, blend in brite...

    Dry Hop Questions

    I don't use bags, just toss them in loose (whole cone or pellet). Whole cone will separate top and bottom (see pic) pellets will settle to bottom. Problem with bags is they are hard to remove when full. There is a cylindrical stainless mesh dry hopping apparatus available, but again, why...
