Casa Bruja, Wilson, Brown Ale. Not a bad beer, but has a roasty finish which seems innappropriate for a brown ale to me...a Porter maybe.

Yum!

Not quite for the holidays, but we did tap into a brochete I brewed almost 3 years ago back in November...delicious...polished off all but a few liters. I started a new one recently...maybe for next holiday season! [emoji6][emoji322]

And it was cloudy, would be spectacular on a clear night.

Cotito Lodge, Chiriqui, Panamá, pre-dawn Jan 1, 2020. Happy New Year!

Thanka, but no problem with the process of caramelizing, Ive done that successfully a number of times now. What I was refering to upstream was that the chemistry of caramelization is not well studied. For example...what effect does it have on fermentability, does it create more complex sugars...

Hot springs Cotito Lodge, Chiriqui, Panamá. Here for NYE.

Reminds me of home! I grew up in S MS/LA.

We decided to break out the good stuff for Christmas, Grahams 30 Year Port. I was never a big port fan till we visited the Duro Valley in Portugal, home of port wine, and tried some high end ports. OMG, this stuff is magical.

Friday the 13th full moonrise over volcan Barú, Panama...shot from my backyard. [emoji41]

Tried raising my cooking surface...got much lower temps...here is why I think: I have an "infared" grill, so its grates are already very much like a pizza steel and get plenty hot near the surface of the grate (~500F with all 3 burners on hi). Cooks pizza in about 5-8 minutes. I place a couple...

The dough I made for this might be of interest to you guys. My wife likes thin crispy crust so unleavened dough makes sense to me. This dough is 50/50 mix of whole wheat/general purpose flour for a total of 500g, 250g of water (50% hydration to start...I had to add a bit more when kneading), 1...

(edit: Duh, like described in the post above...I dont need no stinkin' beer gun!) They are nice, but you dont really need the fancy counter pressure filler unless you plan to fill a lot of bottles. I fill 1 liter flip top bottles from my kegs. I built my own filler by drilling a hole thru a...

We are getting much more consistent now. This was yummy:

Cool!

Ah, will take a look at that, but fab'ing stuff up is way more fun than buying![emoji6]

Clever idea. You mean connected to the end of the dip tube right? Just need a stress relief or thick enough tubing so it doesnt kink as it bends upward from end of dip tube. Would not need to go all the way to top, just a few inches even to get above the trub. In fact, not going to top is...

Another option is to create a short dip tube by cutting about 1" off the end. I have one like this specifically for racking between kegs so I can leave the trub behind in the source keg.
