The Horror

Somehow, I don’t think they meant “you are right to continue…”

You’re doing it wrong.

Regulating Fermentation Temperatures

I’ve had several people ask me recently about keeping fermentation temperatures down during the summer. First it’s probably necessary to detail exactly what “optimal” fermentation temperatures actually are. Every yeast strain out there has a published optimum temperature range; the data are available directly from White Labs and WYeast, as well as at most homebrew […]

Ode to a New Fermenter

Temptation, lo these many months at the homebrew shop. $13.99 – an ale pail with grommeted top. Each time I somehow passed you by on my way to shop. Always knowing I would give in ‘pon some future stop.

Things I Hate #2: Kanye West

I watched the Fishsticks episode of South Park today, and felt like maybe I was missing something. Is there some reason Kanye West wouldn’t understand a simple joke? I didn’t actually know anything about him except for the Hurricane Katrina thing. Is he notoriously stupid, notoriously bad with wordplay, or just a notorious douche?
