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 ]

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 ]
Wow, that went textbook! Sorry, I don’t have pictures of the steps this time… Jeremy and I spent our extra time wiring the garage for cat-5 so we could watch the football on a mythtv frontend (my laptop). Next brew I think i’m actually going to run the wire nicely (not from my basement window to [ READ MORE ]
