Summer 2011 Brewing Season
Welcome Internet denizens; to my brewing world. I'm currently cranking up ideas to brew my way through summer, and create winter stock. I brew in the garage and ferment in the basement. I take the cold Minnesota winters off from brewing. Commercial beer is made with the goals of replication and profits: recipe, ingredients, process remain the same and over time give the same dull result. Homebrew’s variation allows more unique beers to be created. This may be why some of the best and the worst beers I’ve ever tasted were home brewed. This and the spirit of doing things myself is why I homebrew (and keep bees, make maple syrup from trees, build my own speakers, and so forth). This summer I'm going to rebrew a few of the beers I had success with last summer, trying to improve them, and try a few new things. I'll use comments and score-sheets for guides. Fortunately as a member of the SPHBC I have access to a bunch of great brewing minds, which can help me sort quality score-sheets from those of CDJs (Certified Douchbag Judges) with pencils. I designed this site as a way to save recipes, entertain myself while archiving my brewing education. Homebrew doesn't have to suck, you have to brew the suck into them yourself. Join me as I become a better brewer. I plan to post recipes. I also like to come up with offensive beer names! | What's Brewing
