Primary for 14 days and another 14 days in the bottle and it's good to drink, mostly because it's a simple recipe. Higher alcohol stouts with lots of crystal malts can take several weeks to meld together properly.

Here's my dry Irish stout, based off of Jamil's recipe in Brewing Classic Styles. It's basically Guinness. Original Gravity: 1.043 Final Gravity: 1.010 ABV: 4.33% IBU: 40 Maris Otter (62.5%) Flaked Barley (25%) Roasted Barley 550L (12.5%) 40 IBUs worth of Kent Goldings @60 min Mash at 64C...

USA ITC-308 WIFI thanks!

I live literally down the street from their Minneapolis store, so I hope their business doesn't get messed with and results in their closure (probably would never happen, but still). Awesome store, great grain selection/prices/crush when I need it. Midwest is also really awesome, although I only...

Gorgeous color! I wish I could taste that :)

for added flavor.

The smell that hits me in the face every time I open my fermentation fridge.

I just brewed a kolsch too! I also added some pureed apricot to a wheat beer made with sterling hops. I can't wait to see how it turns out. Smells amazeballs already.

I make up my own ant bait with borax and sugar water. I keep a labeled glass bottle of it on hand all the time and when ants start invading I dip a cotton ball in it and put it where they seem to be concentrated. After they've been sucking up delicious poison for a few days they stop showing up...

I also use 1 quart mason jars (amber glass) for my meager stock of specialty grains. I put chalkboard stickers on the lids to write what they contain, because my stash tends to change.

Since I don't have a grain mill (yet), I plan out a few recipes and put them together at my local homebrew shop and mill them there. Then I put them in reusable vacuum seal bags until I'm ready to brew. As long as you keep milled grains in a dry and airtight environment they should stay fresh...

I'm hoping to get the time to brew my first pilsner this weekend. Excited to get my first lager under my belt!

Just wrapped up an American wheat with Sterling hops (a "house beer" recipe I'm trying to perfect) and pitched some Bell's yeast I cultured from a bottle of Oberon. Eager to see how this one turns out. Normally I use WY2565 for my wheat beers.

Sterling! Thank you!

I get emotional
