I ordered a Brew Hauler nylon carboy harness from Amazon. I don't have an immediate need for it, but I have been hesitant to use the glass carboy when I've got two fermenter buckets around. It's heavy when it's full, glass, and clear. That means it has to be covered to keep th...
Adventures in Homebrewing had a sale going on for their Gingerbread Brown Christmas Spiced Ale. A gingerbread beer sounds delicious, but $20.99 is a bargain regardless. Dan and I both bought one to save on shipping. We both went for the Safale S-04 yeast. We'll both brew them...
Dan had pretty good success adding cold brew to his stout. I thought that might be a good way to hide the inevitable band-aid flavors from my Oatmeal Stout. After work today, I bought a 32oz bottle of cold brew coffee concentrate and a 9oz bag of dark chocolate chips. I used t...
I've always loved wheat beers and more specifically Belgian Whites. Hoegaarden and Franziskaner are top of the list. Give me a beer that goes down like steak and potatoes. Yes, please. Now that I have a few brew days under my belt, I thought I'd give it a try. I ordered a Fran...

I ordered an Oatmeal Stout recipe from Adventures in Homebrewing with Safale S-04 yeast. I've always liked Highland Brewing's Oatmeal Porter, so I thought I'd give it a go. Also, as an inspiration, Dan just brewed a stout recipe. His plan was to add a homemade cold press coffe...
Adventures in Homebrewing had a free shipping sale going on, so Dan and I went in together and bought two more fermenting buckets. It's a long wait from fermenting to bottling to enjoying. The rare optimistic outlook that I will in the future be able to enjoy them. Thus far, n...
The plan is to try making this plain ol' pilsner recipe a little more interesting. I'm going to split off some of the beer into secondary fermenter with added strawberries. I bought a five pound bag of frozen jumbo strawberries at the grocery store. To keep from introducing ba...
Since I have fairly low expectations for how this first batch is going to turn out, I decided to play with the recipe and make a strawberry brew. I ordered four one-gallon fermenting jars with lids, a bag of twenty rubber grommets, and six three-piece airlocks from Amazon. The...
