I haven’t been very happy with my most recent brews but I do have 4 kegs of stuff that is still just aging and 2 carboys that are just wild ales and a string of 1 liter force carbed swing-tops of sour beers that are aging. I decided to enter the company home-brew competition in …

  One of my friends and faithful blog readers, Matt mentioned that my post last year about building the new kegerator was inspiring enough that he wants to take it up as a Spring project but aside from listing a couple of things, I didn’t really list all of the parts needed. Indeed, that is …

  I don’t think you’re supposed to aerate finished beer but oh well! 2 up front and 6 in the back. Going to have these in my car today covered up until I go to the new place. It’s always amazing how much space the tiny Golf has for transporting this sort of stuff. On …
