I'm moving and not taking my hop crowns with me. I'm selling them to a local homebrew shop to split up into rhizomes for customers. Today I pulled up all the crowns (big job!). The top half of the crown was budding all over with shoots but the bottom half was not. There were really big bottom...

Question for anyone who submitted a label. Have any of you heard about the results for this year? Last year they sent out an email to the winners. Sent from my iPad using Home Brew

Every year my colleagues and I have a Porkfest. Whole hog, ribs and everything has to be made out of pork or pork themed. I want to make a beer that tastes like bacon. I know they make fake extracts and flavors but I would like to avoid that. Also dry hopping with bacon will likely cause...

I found a field of wild barley on my morning run. I kept seeing it every morning and finally did something with it. I first had to figure out what it was. I did some research and if it is barley it will likely bend over because of the weight. Whet will stay straight up as it is not heavy...

I wanted to take a stab at cloning Brewdog's Hardcore IPA. It is an intense beer. They describe it as an Explicit Imperial IPA. ABV coming out to around 9.2%. I did some research and this is the best clone that I could come up with. The use a massive hop rocket but I will just be dry...

I am in the process of making a ridiculously strong eisbeer and needed some smaller bottles. Found these 7oz green glass bottles. I primed it white. Then painted the blue sky. The sand is a textured spray paint from lowes (awesome stuff). Printed the picture on photo paper and cut it out...

I have recently been fascinated by our Scottish friends Brewdog and their ridiculous eisbeers....tactical nuclear penguin and sink the Bismarck both 30% ABV and above. They make this happen by freezing the beer and removing the water thus concentrating the flavors, sugars and yes alcohol...
