It’s been a bit of a slog lately so I’ve failed to report on the last two beers to hit the fridge. Black Squirrel The Squirrel is the first repeat brew we’ve tried. The first batch was quickly consumed and highly regarded. The second time around things are equally good. I did cut down on…
Bottled the second nut brown ale tonight. Only two more weeks until we can drink sweet nectar of the gods again! Thinking about doing something a little different with the labels. This will probably make Jim mad but I want to personalize each brew a little more. Anyway, so far I’ve come up with this:…

This weekend I want to brew but I cannot decide. We’re 3 for 5 assuming something strange does not wreck havoc on the Son of Nutter. The two failures were a Belgian wit and an oatmeal stout. I love a good wit and I also love a good stout. I’m leaning wit right now for…

So after sufficient recovery from the previous night’s festivities had happened (and thanks, Jeremy, it was awesome to be…
Uncorked a bottle of the riesling while mixing up the peach wine tonight. I think we’re finally to drinkability. It’s still dry for the style, but the harsh fusels were not present in this bottle. It’s about time! Hooray! Yum!
…is going to be leaving it in the bottle long enough to properly age. We bottled the gooseberry wine last night and, per tradition, left a little in the bottling bucket to sample. And sample we did. And, well, it is a sweet (in every sense of the word) dessert wine. The gooseberry comes through…
