Hard apple cider is just the adult version of everyone’s favorite childhood beverage.

Top Crop Beer: Kveik IPA - 3 Day IPA Part 3

Homebrewing often takes patience. Typically, you’ll spend a day brewing, weeks fermenting, and a few more days to bottle or keg your beer for carbonation and serving.

For many people, beer is a seasonal beverage. November, December, January and February are the months where a dark, smoky, full bodied beer pairs well with the cold weather. Especially when you’re up here in the mountains, like we are. Since it’s mid December, we decided to brew a Robust Smoked Porter, and it turned... Read more

How to Brew and Bottle Beer: Sour Saison Homebrew

November 25, 2019

I have a love-hate relationship with Saison beer. And by that I mean that I love them now, but used to hate them. After many attempts to get on board with the style, I finally figured out that what works for me is either a lighter bodied saison, or a saison with some sour acidity... Read more

Citra Double IPA Homebrew Recipe

November 25, 2019

We brewed this Citra hopped double IPA with our 10 gallon 240 volt system. We used 18.2 pounds (8kg 255.4g) of grain for this beer, which showed once again that a 10.5 gallon (39.7 liter) kettle is versatile enough to brew beers on the larger end of the ABV spectrum. We used a good amount of...

Banana Bread Beer

This beer was an experiment of sorts and we tried a lot of new things while doing it. We won't say it was a failed experiment, it was definitely a learning experience, but the recipe could use some tweaking. Use this article as a reference to brew your own banana nut beer. After all, it's just homebrewing, aren't... Read more

Japanese Rice Lager

October 17, 2019

This might be the tastiest homebrew beer we've ever made. We wanted to mimic a traditional Japanese beer such as Asahi or Sapporo. Honestly, the results blew us away. If you're looking for a unique light lager that loosely resembles commercial beers made with rice, but is a heck of a lot better, this is it. It... Read more

Funky Mexican Lager

July 5, 2019

                                                  This beer turned out to be a happy accident. It was intended to be a pretty straightforward lager with a full body and some limey tasting hops, but a surprise... Read more

Log Beer - Brewing with Wild Yeast

April 19, 2019

I'll just get right to the point. We fermented 5 gallons (18.9 liters) of beer by putting a log in a batch of wort. It wasn't our idea and it wasn't our log. But that's the story. The true story. The short story. The long story is as follows. And, as always, a video below... Read more
