    In Secondary Fermentation for YEARS

    You must not have ever cleaned up after a young-adult beer-drinking keg party, the next day! You know all those plastic glasses which have some draft beer left in them. Never let any beer go to waste! (please ignore the yuk factor!) Oops, that beer doesn't taste right anymore! Better toss it...

    Safale US-05 vs California Ale

    I make pretty much the same brew every three weeks or so, I'm told it's similar to IPA, my own recipe. I've been home brewing since about 2010, and do not consider myself an expert, far from it. I'm also a lazy brewer, I want brewing to be fun and am trying to keep it simple. I'd been...
