Well, we had been brewing for a while without any issues… and this brew day went perfectly. BUT, on day FOUR of fermentation, we had a blow-out in the ferm chamber in one of the fermenters, and this beer made a mess. On top of that, we don’t know how long it was exposed, and one fermenter of the set was oxidized. Then when it finished it’s run, it had a bad aroma, and we ALMOST threw it out. However, after running off about a pitcher’s worth of beer, the aroma disappeared, and the taste is pretty on point. We believe there were remnants ofRead More →

We officially joined a homebrew club this month. For years now, we’ve shared beers on Mondays with many members of the Bay Area Mashtronauts at the Bakfish monthly homebrew meeting. Unfortunately, Bakfish closed its doors this month. It is sad news for us as we loved Bakfish. The Bay Area Mashtronauts are hosting a pale ale hop comparison meeting in February, so we brewed this beer with Southern Cross (New Zealand) and Vista (American) hops. We have also entered this beer into the Bluebonnet Brew-off to be judged in March. 13.5 Gallon Preboil Volume, 12 Gallon Postboil Volume. 60 minute mash at 155° – 60Read More →
