Kaffeedog: Tasting the Winning Also Rans
http://kaffeedog.blogspot.com/2012/04/tasting.html
A Subsistence Brewer Contemplates the Larger World. Wednesday, April 25, 2012. Tasting the Winning Also Rans. The British half of the second runnings from my IHP 2012 hypermild brewday. Blew the Belgian half out of the water. To recap, I brewed a massive barleywine with the first runnings, and a reasonable English Pale Ale/Best Bitter wort with the second runnings, pitching half with good ol Safale S-04. And the other half with Wyeast's French Saison. And now I'm out again. Think I need to get brewing.

Kaffeedog: Brewing Black Abandon CDA
http://kaffeedog.blogspot.com/2012/07/brewing-black-abandon-cda.html
A Subsistence Brewer Contemplates the Larger World. Sunday, July 1, 2012. Brewing Black Abandon CDA. Inspired by the Northern Brewer Black IPA. Recipe. Last month, my wife and I had been enjoying O'Connor Brewing Company's Dismal Swamp Black IPA. As it migrated through the tap lists of the various bars. Of the Bellevue neighborhood in Richmond. I really like OBC's take on the style—it's hoppy and chocolately and oh so well balanced, with a touch of : Horrors! First-year cascade in the background. This re...

Kaffeedog: Tasting the House Bitter (1.3)
http://kaffeedog.blogspot.com/2012/06/tasting-house-bitter-13.html
A Subsistence Brewer Contemplates the Larger World. Thursday, June 14, 2012. Tasting the House Bitter (1.3). One of the nicer things about a low gravity beer made with English yeast is that the ferment is done in a few days, and the yeast drops like a rock. If you're kegging, you're enjoying the fruits of your labor in about two weeks. A month, tops, if you bottle condition. The house bitter I brewed a 12 days ago. No such thing as a failed experiment.'specially when it tastes like this. Short Pour ̵...

Kaffeedog: Brewing a Patersbier
http://kaffeedog.blogspot.com/2012/08/brewing-patersbier.html
A Subsistence Brewer Contemplates the Larger World. Wednesday, August 29, 2012. What's golden, thirst-quenching, dry but spicy, singing with noble German and Czech hops, usually less than 5% abv, and can be fermented in a 75 degree basement at the end of summer? Well, yes, a table-strength saison, but also a Patersbier, that's what, and that's what I brewed a couple of weeks ago. This crack held for 36 hours, with only a tiny bit of liquid seeping through. On to the recipe:. Even with the sweet, silent t...

A Subsistence Brewer Contemplates the Larger World. Saturday, December 31, 2011. Brewing the Faucet-Clogger Black Forest Rye Stout.

Kaffeedog: July 2012
http://kaffeedog.blogspot.com/2012_07_01_archive.html
A Subsistence Brewer Contemplates the Larger World. Sunday, July 1, 2012. The subtitle of this blog is "a subsistence brewer contemplates the larger world." That's a bit of an inside joke. A couple of years ago I read a toast to the subsistence brewer. So, that's one reason why I've just entered three beers into the Dominion Cup. This will be my first competition after 12 years of brewing. I'm still a subsistence brewer—I'll be submitting what I've got on hand, rather than brewing beers specifi...Mostly,...
