Some new equipment, including a new false bottom for my round 5 gallon mash tun, and a true stainless counterflow chiller, need a good inaugural beer.

I’m using a hybrid of a number of recipes, including the Ommegang Abbey Dubbel at Homebrewtalk.com (https://www.homebrewtalk.com/threads/ommegang-abbey-dubbel.207079/), my first dubbel (http://home.kimusubi.net/beer/?p=348), and the dubbel recipe in […]

Batch 81: Ryan’s IPA
For the past few years, folks at the BPRU have organized a charity auction. Nothing too huge or outlandish, but we’ve raised a fair penny each year for a good cause. Last year and this year, I offered a case of home-brewed beer, brewed to order, and this year the prize was won by my […]
Batch 76: Stephanie’s India Pale Ale

Based on the following Pliny recipe: Russian River Pliny the Elder […]
