    Fermcap fail

    5.5 gallons of Belgian golden strong ale in an 8 gallon vessel with two drops of fermcap per gallon. First day I had an inch of krausen, assumed all was well. Went to work today and came home to yeast everywhere. 3787 is a beast.

    New Brew Dog

    Recently adopted a new Shih Tzu and decided that I should brew a celebratory ale. Settled on an APA with Belma/Cascade. Day started off as normal until I realized that I was a little low on propane. So I leave the freshly milled grain in the kitchen, grab the propane tank and run down the...

    Just recently I had someone offer me free bottles. To which I promptly said "yes please." When they arrived there were 10 dozen 12 oz bottles. I immediately decided that I would have to start brewing a lot more beer. I had them inside sitting on the floor with the intent that I would wash...

    Summer BBQ brewing

    I am brewing up a 5 gallon batch and a 3 gallon batch for a small BBQ. For the 5 I am thinking about a hefeweizen or a wit. I'm curious about what people would suggest for the second beer. It will need to be something quick so no imperial stouts.

    Scotch Ale or the 4.5 hour boil

    I'm on vacation from work this week which means I get to brew while technically getting paid! I'm working on a wee heavy with a target end volume of 2.5 gallons. Long story short, in order to get all the sugar out that I needed I ended up with close to 5 gallons. So now I'll be boiling for 4.5...

    Beer snobbing

    Tonight I went to a local place that is a "German" pub. Sadly I had to take them to task over the Oktoberfest they were serving. It was over carbonated and had some phenol flavors in it that seemed very out of place. When I told the server he looked at me like I was a space alien. Fifteen...
