The Bar Towel

lets wait for the Indian guy to chime in. I'm sure he'll be in here sooner or later.

Off the top of my head, my top ten new to me of 2014 in no order: Tired Hands Third Level Bourbon County Barleywine Lost Abbey Red Poppy Lost Abbey Cuvee de Tomme The Bruery Bois Hill Farmstead Nelson Single Hop Jack's Abby Kiwi Rising Cantillon Fou' Foune Cantillon Gueuze 100% Lambic-Bio Evil Twin ...

I just finished brewing a Mikkeller Nelson Sauvignon inspired beer.

Have you ever thought of adding a heat pad to your cool ship to stall the cooling process from 3-4 hours to 12 hours? Jean Van Roy mentioned that idea in a Basic Brewing podcast. Would extend the exposure time. He also mentioned that doing it when cool outside is key to get the right microbes. Yeah...

was supposed to attempt a BCBS clone today, but have to postpone the brew due to HANGOVER I've always found being hungover to be an important part of the brewing process. As for me, on Saturday I did a simple, minimally hopped beer and left it in my coolship over night. The resulting block of ice i...

I just finished brewing a Saison with Hibiscus, and Meyer lemon juice & zest. Most delicious wort I've ever tasted. It was kind of like pink lemonade.

Jeremy if you ever want to brew it for MY brewpub (i.e. my basement) you're more than welcome!

I'd be down to do that sometime.

I bottled a mild, which is tasting great, today and racked an IS (that I messed up with a stuck mash and missed my gravity target by a mile) to secondary. The stout tastes fine, but it's hardly the imperial it should be. On the side a friend and I have pitched the following yeast strains spread out...

Just finished brewing a double IPA with Nelson and Simcoe.

This is someone's thoughts on FB: I can't speak for the beer, as I don't drink it. But I won't be giving them another try for a solid 6 months. My friend and I both ordered the house burger. They were both incredibly dry. Mine bordered on burnt. We both found the cheese tasteless. We felt like the ...

I was there a couple minutes before 11, so I was probably one of the people in front of you.

think he left me one yesterday as well. Jeremy's a very good, creative brewer and does shit that few homebrewers or pros in Ontario have the balls to brew. That sounds ridiculously good. What are the plans for Barncat? Am I remembering correctly that Amsterdam's The Nightman Cometh was based on one...

just finished brewing a brett fermented IPA with soft Ontario winter wheat, and local wildflower honey. Hopped with Apollo, Summit, and Galaxy.

I agree with everything you said Liam. I didn't exclude it from my list by accident :) Agreed on 10BY. But, I think the same about Witchshark, honestly.....and everything hoppy that they do. All OK, but nowhere near what they use to be. Bellwoods still nails every stout, strong or sour they do, but...

I had the idea and did a search online. "Good programmers write good code, great programmers steal great code." My memory is a little fuzzy now but I think I found two recipes and mashed them together, changing this and that and scaling it down. This is my first attempt at brewing it so i...
