Wow, it has been a long time since I posted. No excuses really. Anyway, since the last post I have brewed a cream ale. The plan is that my friend Luke will also brew it (he did) and we would compare when I finally make it out to Oregon in July! The brew went really well [ READ MORE ]
Wow, words cannot express how lazy I am. I should have written this post 3 weeks ago (the beer is in secondary and Jake’s is ready to be dry-hopped). BATCH #1: Well, my wife has been trying to get me to brew the IPA again from last summer. It was really good (really good). Probably the best [ READ MORE ]
This is going to be a small post, mostly for posterity. A week ago Sunday I brewed the Hefeweizen. I had a few minor issues, but for the most part it went very well. I had some folks visit from the Prairie Homebrewing Companions to tell me where I was going wrong (actually I wasn’t doing [ READ MORE ]
Sunday was another fun brewing day, I purchased the bourbon barrel porter all grain kit from Northern Brewer. The day prior I made the yeast starter while enjoying an imperial stout homebrew that has finally come into it’s own. It started about an hour later than I was hoping because of a meeting, which meant we really [ READ MORE ]
After a vacation and some christmas, it was finally time we bottled the tripel. Ben decided to help a bit after work was done.

So, I didn’t give my friends a lot of time to decide if they were going to brew or not. I decided Saturday morning that if I am going to get another brew in this year I’m going to have to do it tomorrow. We have a trip planned and Christmas to deal with so [ READ MORE ]

The Imperial Stout is now fermenting at a break-neck pace. The co2 coming off of it smells good (not sour) and the kraesen is looking really scary good (or just scary depending on how you see it…) Now, I bought some extra yeast that is going to be coming to my door today with another all-grain [ READ MORE ]
Yesterday we brewed an IPA all-grain kit I bought from Northern Brewer. At about 3:30pm I started setting up and cleaning supplies. I tried to get the game out in the garage but failed miserably… we listened to it on the radio. Not a big deal really. At 4pm the boys showed up and we started the [ READ MORE ]
The scotch ale that Troy and I (and Jeremy) brewed has been chilling in my basement crawl space (perfect 65F tempature) for a week and a half now. I’ve been checking on it like I do my own child – though I will admit I love the beer less. This weekend I will be transferring [ READ MORE ]
