    Oh no, I'm a hop-head!

    I just transferred my first IPA into secondary today after 10 days in primary and chugged the hydrometer sample. It is an estimated 68 IBU using simcoe for bittering and Amarillo Gold for finishing and I was tempted to retest the gravity so I could taste some more :D I planned to dry hop...

    Bad Yeast?

    I fear I may have trashed my latest batch last night! When I opened my White Labs California Ale liquid yeast it smelled very bad. Unfortunately, I always open it right over my primary fermentation bucket because it sprays after shaking it, so it all went into the beer before I realized how bad...
