Carbonation issues and other rambling beer thoughts

Sadly, most of the amber ales I’ve opened over the past week have been horribly under-carbonated. I’m not sure why. I shorted the corn sugar during priming just a small tad, so I doubt that could be it. Some of them are just fine, but others are almost as flat as when […]

Breeders Cup

Alright, I guess I have another pot of cash to put towards a kegging system - my horse racing winnings.  Ha!  If there’s anything left.
A few years ago I really got into the ponies.  I’ve got a few friends who are big fans of racing to the point of owning race horses from time-to-time.  I […]

Update on the kegging funds

You may or may not remember that I’ve decided I hate bottling beer. I also decided to do something about it. I’ve decided to start kegging at least some, half, or most of my beer. I’ve also decided this is a good project to take on with funds other than family budget […]

well, crap. I missed it.

Session #8 that is. Beer and Food was the topic for Session #8 and I completely forgot about it. I was going to write about how I don’t like food with my beer. At least I usually prefer to drink my beer sans chewing, but there are some exceptions. A nice […]

The verdict is in, and my American Amber is found GUILTY

of being a very good beer!
Ok, so it’s still quite green, and it won’t win any awards, but it is tasty, drinkable, smooth and well balanced.  I’ll give it another week at room temperature and then move it to the refrigerator to clear up.  From what I can tell, it should be a pretty darn […]

Tonight is the big test. I hope….

I’m planning to crack open my first bottle of my first original beer recipe tonight.  The American Amber has been bottled up for 18 days now, and the carbonation should be reaching completion.  To be honest, I did lose patience and opened a bottle at about 8 days, but that went exactly the way it […]

It may be time to expand the brewery a bit

Well, it’s official.  The homebrew thing is a hit.  After tasting these first two batches for myself, I was thinking it would be.  I’ve passed quite a few bottles from my first two batches around and the reviews have been all positive.  Of course, some people may just be too nice to give me a […]

Brew Review - Santa Cruz Mountain Brewing Amber Ale

For tonight’s beer review, I present Santa Cruz Mountain Brewing’s Amber Ale:

Here is a good recent article in the San Jose Mercury News about the brewers. Like several breweries in the area, this brewery brews all organic beers. Also, their beers are unfiltered, so be sure to leave the last little bit in […]

Brew Review - Delirium tremens

Tonight, I bring you the first of my Belgian beers, Delirium tremens, brewed by the Huyghe Brewery in Melle/Ghent, Belgium (I hope I did that right). This is a Belgian Ale. According to the bottle it’s a damn strong one, too at 8.5% alcohol. I am 1/3 of the way through it […]
