If you bottle your homebrew you know what a pain in the ass the bottle tree is. It holds only 45 bottles while your 5-gallon batch usually gets you close to 50. And how do you store that thing? AND your empties? A new product hit the market and SPT has been selected to showcase [...]

Life goes on. The SOPA/PIPA bills have been rescinded only to reappear in the future under the guise of something related to child pornography. I am so disheartened at the path the government is going down. It makes me think that if we are dumb enough to elect these bozos, then maybe we deserve the [...]

With the brew review freshly occupying my memory and abdominal quarters, I feel compelled to talk a little further about beer, namely Friday night’s meeting with my homebrew club, MASH, and the incredible time that I have at these meetings. This Friday night, there were 16 members present at the meeting and it presents the [...]

A message about a speed sign that is an apparent waste of taxpayers’ money. Stay with it to the end.

Blue Collar Brew Review – Sweet Georgia Brown V2.0 (homebrew)
November 14th, 2010 · 1 Comment · beer, Brew Review, homebrew, opinion
I had made up my mind earlier in the week. My place of employment, the ol’ warehouse, is deep into its busy season. Ten hour days were scheduled for the entire week and there was work on Saturday. Early in the week, I had made up my mind to not buy beer on my usual [...]

Today was a glorious day. It was a day filled with brewing my own damn beer, hovering over a brew pot in the kitchen and drinking and reviewing our 200th beer. As for the homebrew, I had purchased the requisite ingredients a week ago from NorthernBrewers.com and today was the day to make beer and [...]

Malinois Pirlet Ale – Homebrew
April 24th, 2010 · 3 Comments · beer, Brew Review, homebrew, opinion
Tonight, I’m reviewing my own damn beer. This story is a rather long one, but I made this beer and tonight I’ll taste it. I’ll tear it apart or I’ll praise it to high heaven. My own homebrew is no different than any other beer on the market when it comes to taste. If it [...]

Last Saturday I visited a buddy who was hosting a “group brew” in his garage. Two guys were brewing beer using the all-grain method. A couple of mash tuns, propane burners blazing, and homebrew sampling. Without going into all the details of the differences between extract and all-grain brewing, I was swayed by all the [...]

Friday Homebrew
November 27th, 2009 · 6 Comments · beer, Brew Review, homebrew, opinion
Tonight’s the night. For this brew review I’m going to critique my own damn beer. This beer is a German Oktoberfest recipe kit that I bought online from HighGravityBrew.com for a total of about $38.00. This was the fourth batch of homebrew that I’ve made and this one was guaranteed to be special because it [...]

We’re still here and still consecutive in posting. No interruptions so far. HostGator has been flawless and WordPress was upgraded to v2.8.6 which we have running right now. Everything remains the same, and that’s damn good. I am delighted in the fact that readership to these friendly confines continues to inch upward. On a daily [...]

Saturday Night Blue Collar Brew Review
October 31st, 2009 · Comments Off · beer, Brew Review, homebrew, opinion
Another Friday trek to the Morris Beer store and I was slowly pacing the beer shelf looking for something in particular. Earlier this week, I put up a post about good, canned beer. While I was cruising the craft shelf, I was looking for a canned beer which I hadn’t had. Tetley’s was still there [...]

Here’s some news about this website as soon as I think of it: Oh, yeah… WordPress has been updated to version 2.8.5 and we are there. It’s so nice that I can get the announcement of upgrades in the admin dashboard, click the button and after a few seconds, it’s there. I’m planning on installing [...]
