Bottling Day

Getting ready to bottle the saison. Two more weeks and it will be ready to enjoy!

Prepping for Fall!

Working on the recipe and some label ideas for a chocolate pumpkin porter.

Bottle labels

Hot off the printer are labels for the Belgian Saison. What do you all think?

Lunchtime APA

The Tranter's Creek American pale ale is ready just in time for the hottest day yet this summer. 

Where this all started...

Christmas 2012...my wife gave me a Brooklyn Brew Shop home brew kit complete with a 1 gallon glass carboy, thermometer, racking cane, blow off tube, air lock, and all the ingredients to make an all grain IPA. At the time I was in an apartment trying to make this work in a 5 quart pot on an electric stove. Needless to say it was difficult. The end product turned out excellent however because of the confines of an apartment I went a year without brewing. Now armed with a backyard, patio, and a propane burner I have started again. With 8 bottles of APA conditioning and a gallon of Belgium Saison in the carboy I'm looking to expand and make my first 5 gallon batch.

Coming soon I will share how I made my cooler mash tun and hot liquor tank. Until then enjoy a local beer or two!
