I am really greatful for all the assistance getting this blog together. I am afraid that setting up the structure has gotten in the way of more blog content, but that’s the way it goes sometimes. I am pleased with the extra pages, mainly “The Brewery” There are a few formatting issues I am working [...]

I have been lucky to taste several wonderful beers this past year. They were enjoyed, and enjoyed further as I learned about the ingredients,processes and techniques associated with the different beer styles and especially the beers of Belgium.

On monday the 16th, I made a tripel, and then heated up some more water, and put it in the mash tun, with the “spent” or used grains.
The grain bed within the fermenter was 125f when I went to bed, and 110 when I woke up 8 hrs later. It smelled funky, but not as [...]
