    Icebeer - Unintentional

    About 3 weeks ago we had a really cold snap. Unknown to me the keg in the garage fridge must have partially froze. It still poured, slowly, but the beer was really good. And I mean really good, confirmed by taste and the "brain" ABV meter, if you know what I mean. Anyways it has warmed up a...

    Keg Dry-hopping Technique?

    I brew beer and grow hops (Centennial, Chinook and Comet). Neither are special activities on this forum.

    What to Brew??

    I met the Brewmaster of a local microbrewery last night at a private party. I peppered him with questions for way too long but at the end of the conversation he invited me to use their test lab to make a 15 gallon batch this fall. He said just email the recipe and he'll get all the...
