Brewing on Labor Day

Monday, September 1st, 2008

Lesser men would take Labor Day off. To be fair, we ARE taking Labor Day off from our day jobs. But we’re NOT taking Labor Day off from brewing. So come on by Jeff’s tonight and join us as we brew our wildly popular (and still unnamed) Belgian wit. Usually people start showing up around [...]

A successful night of brewing (without the brewing)

Tuesday, August 26th, 2008

Thanks to everyone who came last night. We had a good crowd, in spite of the weather. The rain made it difficult to brew (we didn’t want any of Atlanta’s acid raid infecting our beers), so we actually just hung out and drank. It was amazing. We circled up a bunch of chairs and made [...]

Tonight we brew the Eye Patch Ale

Monday, August 18th, 2008

Come on by Jeff’s tonight (email for directions) and help us brew the first batch of the Eye Patch Ale. The Eye Patch, is essentially the same recipe as the Swashchuckler IPA, but with a new name since Seth got duped into ceding us his best pirate-themed name.
Hope to see you there–

Bottling party tonight!

Monday, August 11th, 2008

A slight oversight on our part… we ran out of base malt last week and forgot to get some more over the weekend. Fortunately, we have plenty of bottling/drinking to do. We’ll be bottling some Drafty Kilt Scotch Ale and some of our still new Belgian Dubbel (tentatively named Southern Monk). Drop by Jeff’s to [...]

The numbers don’t lie

Tuesday, August 5th, 2008

Neither does Jeff. We hit our gravity last night on the nose – and all Joel had to do was add a little ’sumpin-sumpin’ to the wort!

Exhibit A. Joel looking like he could be on MTV’s G’s to Gents. Actually, it’s our new summertime cooling method. An immersion chiller to bring the temperature down from [...]

Brewing the Drafty Kilt tonight

Monday, August 4th, 2008

Stop by Jeff’s tonight to drink some beers and help brew another, slightly adjusted Drafty Kilt scotch ale. You may recall that we dialed down the recipe to make it more “user-friendly.” It ended up at 5.1% ABV, down from around 8%. We’re going to dial it back up just a smidge and try for [...]

Putting the “I” in “IPA”

Tuesday, July 29th, 2008

Yesterday Jeff and his enormous ego made it clear to the entire blogosphere that it was perfectly okay to post large pictures of yourself in a blog post. I have never before stooped to this level (not true), but I thought it fitting to display my mustachio’d self. Because not only was I able to [...]
