Just spent about 3 hours preping for my first 10 gallon batch all grain. I had a lot of beer stone in my keggle to clean out. Anyway, how long can I expect it to take my strike water and my boil to get going? I figured if I start about 10am I'll be done about bed time. Any pointers for a 10 gallon batch?

This isn't Where's Waldo? But, really, smoke-free on a Saturday tasting my Dogfish Red & White, Allagash Tripel, Founders Devil Dancer, and Lagunitas Brown Shugga on tap for all they were worth?  read more »

TJs...

I'm new to using the Beersmith software and was wondering if I can print out a detailed report of my beer after I've brewed and input the OG into the program? I have a friend that uses Promash and he can printed a pretty detailed report. Can anyone out there help me out?

Cheers,

Darin

"I did write 'The Drawing of the Dark' as a sort of ode to beer, yes! The beer I was imagining when I wrote about the Herzwesten Dark was Noche Buena, which, of course, is the Christmas dark beer made by Dos Equis."

For those of you who read my Dale’s Pale Ale review, you may remember my policy on beer in cans. If you are brewing craft beer and decide to put it in a can, I will drink it like beer in a can. Last time I drank Dale’s Pale Ale straight from the can, however, this time I decided to use the proper glassware. Behold a first in [BW] Beer Blog history; using a red Solo cup as proper craft beer glassware. Think of the ping pong ball as a garnish.  read more »

PHILLY BEER WEEK INDEX @ THE BREW LOUNGE

Triumph as always been one of those places for me that was just a little too far. Princeton was someplace I went in the 90s with my buddies on a night out and I discovered Triumph for the first time. Then, later with Patty to Triumph's New Hope location while shopping and strolling around the town. Up until recently, I've probably drunk more of their Bryan

This is a must stop for any micro-enthusiast, and a pilgrimage for any Great Lakes Brewing fans. This place will rock any micro lover's world. The atmosphere is absolutely like none other, and their daily selection is fantastic. For those whom have never tried great lakes brews, you are missing out. I highly recommend the Edmund Fitzgerald Porter, as well as the Dortmunder Gold. But if you have the opportunity, try everything on tap. I need to get back here soon....been too long!  read more »

What more can you say for a chain microbrewery. Rockbottom brews are pretty much standard from location to location, but often you will find a brew or two that is a Brewmasters choice which sometimes can make the trip worthwhile.

This location is no different than the others: Standard styles (light, brown, wheat, stout), and served in a typical 16oz pint.

The atmosphere in this location is pretty good, even better if you are sitting around the bar. Low lighting, comfortable, complete with a fire!  read more »
