My Two Favorite Beer Books

By brian | Published: February 2, 2012

I love making beer, truly I do. If ever there was a way – perhaps a reality-augmenting piece of stainless machinery – that would allow me to curl up close with my beer making and kind of snuzzle my junk up and down on it’s leg all the time, i would totally be in to [...]

New Chef at Chief O’Neill’s

By brian | Published: December 5, 2011

A co-worker just hit me up with the news that Alan Lake is going to be the new chef at Chief O’Neil’s. About two days ago, Lake told me he took the full-time chef position at O’Neill’s. What cinched the deal for him, he said, was his experience at the famous Shelbourne in Ireland, where [...]

Closed System Wort Chiller for the Homebrew

By brian | Published: November 30, 2011

It’s getting cold here in Weedwolf’s Shitcago. In fact, today the lake front was shut down and manned by Escalades. I saw snow fall from the sky. I pulled the long underwear from my lingerie drawer. All this means that my previous method of cooling our wort with a displacement chiller spitting upwards of 75 [...]

Gordon Strong’s Technique for Force Carbonating Homebrew

By brian | Published: November 22, 2011

It’s the 11th hour and I need to get this beer carbed up for Thanksgiving. I’ve basically got about 20 hours to get this stuff to a decent level of gas. So I’m going to force carb them. Force carbonating is a black art, elusive and highly subjective in it’s execution. I’ve tried several techniques, [...]

Put Thanksgiving In My Face & Then Leave Me Alone.

By brian | Published: November 21, 2011

Our country of fat fucks are about to hit their annual apex of indulgence and I couldn’t be happier. You see, I fancy my self a fairly learned sensualist. Certainly, at times, my adventures slant nearer towards escapes than escapades, but I’m comfortable with my batting average. And what kind of sensualist demands perfection anyway? [...]

A Mash/Boil Screen Has Made Homebrewing Much Easier

By brian | Published: November 14, 2011

I’ve slowly come to realize while building our brew system that the tools and techniques compiled to create our beer are as much a part of us and our creation as the finished beverage that comes out of it. And, like every good work of art, this one, too, will never be finished. Transcended, maybe [...]

Positive Progress in the Hunt for Fenugreek in Homebrew

By brian | Published: October 26, 2011

Ok, so I finally got to the end of the two-week alcohol extraction of fenugreek seeds that I found digging four pages deep into a google search on fenugreek and maple syrup alternatives. The experiment was successful though I did need to make some adjustments. I wound up using twice the amount of vodka as [...]

Yeast Reference Guide

By brian | Published: October 14, 2011

I like this page over at winning-homebrew.com that describes the yeasts and then tells the brewery source of them. It’s nice. It’s not as nice as those posters that wYeast and White Labs have been giving away at events recently, but it’s nice.
