Last night (a Monday) was awesome. Thanks to everyone who popped in. (I accidentally typed “pooped in,” but don’t worry, I corrected it). We might have set an all-time record in terms of amount of stuff we got done. Here’s the lowdown:
Swashchuckler IPA: We brewed a 10-gallon batch. We’ll see how it turns out, given [...]

Remember the gusher bug we’ve been dealing with in our beers for the last 2 months? Throwing out all our plastic buckets made a dent in the issue, but recently, we had another batch of IPA catch the deadly yeast strain, which turn our beer into overcarbonated alcohol water.

Remember that time when we had that sanitation problem with our beer? Yeah, that was fun. Joel found himself dealing with the remnants of said problem on Monday. Take a look at the video and you’ll know why we had to pour it out. It was either that or serve it to our enemies… revenge [...]

We also decided to try to get our wort to a boil as we were siphoning out of the sparging setup. I won’t bore you with [...]
