More Drafty, Less Kilt

Tuesday, June 10th, 2008

Despite Jonathan’s continued confinement to his deathbed and my whining about having to work late, last night was a solid one. Our new Belgian dubbel and Drafty Kilt were pouring well, we transfered our new Belgian Wheat and latest batch of IPA, enjoyed meeting some newcomers and even managed to brew a batch of [...]

Brewing is tentatively a go

Monday, June 9th, 2008

So we really want to brew tonight. Trouble is I’m still too sick and Jeff is probably going to be “working” (playing video games) late. Which leaves brewing in the capable hands of Joel. We’re looking for a few good men and/or women to help Joel out with transfers and dry hopping and brewing and whatnot. He’ll [...]

Joel’s “Beard of Sanitation”

Tuesday, May 27th, 2008

Anyone who reads this blog semi-regularly (my mom and perhaps a few other people) knows that Joel… isn’t quite right. Fortunately, he is always good for a laugh. We’ve taken to filling our Star-san bucket with a hose with a nozzle on it. Not the best move, since this can result in quite the build-up of sanitized foam. Joel found [...]

Brewing tonight? Yes please.

Monday, May 26th, 2008

Don’t have Memorial Day plans yet? For shame. But don’t worry, now you do. We’re brewing our Swashchuckler IPA over at Jeff’s. Come on by! Email us if you need directions.

Weiss becomes Wit. Easy fix for our wheat beer, right?

Thursday, May 22nd, 2008

Never mind the creepy detached limbs of Jeff. Let’s talk about our WeissGuy Hefeweizen for a second. We brewed our latest batch Monday. This time it’s going to be a little (okay, very) different, though. Up until Monday we’ve brewed a Bavarian-style hefeweizen with coriander and orange zest.
It seems like everyone and their mom uses coriander and [...]

Night of the living homebrewers

Tuesday, May 13th, 2008

The stars aligned last night. We had a good group of folks show up – all of them were homebrewers. It felt like a special Beer-Dorks-Only-Club. And unbeknownst to me, we actually had our WORLD FAMOUS Drafty Kilt Scotch Ale on tap. Thanks for the heads up, Jeff. Also, it’s not quite “world-famous” yet, just [...]

Belgian Dubbel 2.0

Monday, May 12th, 2008

2.0 is so hot right now. So we figured we’d ruin our first Belgian Dubbel and start anew. Because sanitation problems are also apparently hot right now. Our main direction for this beer is to make it like the 1.0 version… but TWICE AS GOOD. Did we just blow your mind?
Come on over to Jeff’s [...]
