    IIPAs Keeping Me Awake

    For whatever reason, anything more than an IPA keeps me up at night. Doubles, Triples, Imperials...everything. I can drink one or three and the effect is the same. It's almost as if I've had a pot of coffee an hour before bed. I don't think its the higher alcohol content as I drink stouts of...

    How long do YOU cellar beers?

    Being that this is a homebrew website I am assuming everyone here indulges in commercial beers every now and again (when they aren't drinking homebrew of course!). I picked up a 2014 Bourbon Barrel Aged Old Rasputin and a 2013 Abyss tonight. I am going to age the Raspy for a year or two but I...

    Racking too soon?

    I am new to brewing and have two batches under my belt so far (started out with all grain) so I am still learning. I've read a lot on secondary fermentation and am not sold on it but I decided to try it out on this batch (Janet's Brown) because of the krausen mess in the primary bucket. Not...
