Home brewing is a great hobby (and it turns out, not a bad way to launch a career), but it sure does get sticky. In the original post, I gave a laundry list of concerns, ranging from increased color formation to decreased fermentability, and while I don’t want to generalize too much based on a single beer, I don’t think that any of those were borne out in this particular batch. I don’t think the beer could have come […] It turns out that even if you leave the faucet running, this weather will get you. The overnight low was -14°F -26°F.

My apologies to regular readers (Google Analytics assures me there are some) for the long absence, but getting internet access was an unexpected ordeal.
