If it’s stupid but it works, it isn’t stupid. – Engineer’s Creed (apocryphal) I’ve finally checked the last two items off my home brewing bucket list, replacing all my cold-side hardware with stainless steel. This definitely falls under the category of “luxury” upgrades for a home setup, but as I transition […] In this case, the world (or at least a tiny subset of it) is actually beating the proverbial path. Everyone loves free beer. The cut, sanded, and stained finishing boards (1/2″ x 6″ nominal). My plan was to use beetle kill pine for this, but it turns out the economics of […] And the punning has reached a new low… This will be a quick update, but at least it’s more than just a recipe post. (See below for the recipe.) Jamming a digital camera against the eyepiece is surprisingly effective provided you have steady hands. Yesterday’s brew session marks the first time in over […] I’ve actually been doing a lot of brewing over the past few months, creating and refining pilot recipes for 2MBC. Unfortunately, that doesn’t make for the most interesting brew days, let alone the most compelling blog material. Suffice it to say that NHC in San Diego lit a fire under my ass, and I hope […] Instead of the customary excuse for not posting for a long time, I give you a pun that would have worked out better had I gotten this up yesterday. Just editing this image made my mouth water. As co-owner of Two Mile Brewing, one of my sacred duties is to personally taste-test everything […] Brewing test batches isn’t necessarily a whole lot of fun, but it does lend itself to some potentially useful experimentation. Throughout my (home) brewing career, I’ve bounced more or less randomly from one Belgian strain to another, in the process collecting most of the common strains, but without really settling on a “house” yeast. For […] It is exactly as dangerous as it looks. Heat sticks are becoming popular among home brewers, and for good reason. Having two heated vessels really streamlines a brew day, and makes double brew days significantly less painful. And the economics of electric heat are compelling (in fact, that’s the way I’ve decided to […] Shaved Parmesan doesn’t work quite as well as shredded. A recipe that doesn’t involve beer?! I know, I’m in danger of becoming a well-rounded person. These are delicious, though, and very easy to make, and quickly becoming my go-to appetizer for guests. If you have access to Trader Joe’s, they sell a can of […] I’m not wild about the idea of driving somewhere for the sole purpose of running somewhere else, but I suppose allowances can be made.

How many brewing blogs give you wordplay like that? None of the reputable ones, that’s for sure. Anyway… Last year I started experimenting with partial boils, due to not being able to use a garden hose in the winter. And that technique has been working well for me, […] |
