Beach Brewings: April 2010
http://beachbrewings.blogspot.com/2010_04_01_archive.html
Sunday, April 25, 2010. Kegerator Build - Part Three. I know I know. I've been super slow on this. I keep having to wait for parts or different parts, or other different parts to get this thing together. Currently. One problem I ran into is apparently no single place in the country had stainles steel shanks in stock! I've also found a super cheap place to have my aluminum CO2 tank refilled. R and D's Fire Control. From what I've read most places would charge you $10-$15. I've fit the well nut onto the wi...

Beach Brewings: July 2009
http://beachbrewings.blogspot.com/2009_07_01_archive.html
Wednesday, July 15, 2009. So I haven't posted in a while, however there's a reason for that. We haven't made any beer! I feel like quite a slacker. The last beer we did make was the Lagerhead Turtle. However the fermentation didn't exactly go as planned. So now I should probably call this beer Alehead Turtle. From the rackings I tasted on the secondary transfer, it tasted quite good. We shall see. Sometimes it's better to be lucky then good. Links to this post. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). Beer of the Day.

Beach Brewings: Hop Charts
http://beachbrewings.blogspot.com/2010/03/hop-charts.html
Friday, March 26, 2010. I've been saving these two nice images I found on the internet to share with you guys. The first one is a generic IBU vs Original Gravity. This is a great quick reference when looking to formulate your own recipes. Depending on how you like your beer, plan accordingly with this handy tool. The second image is something I want framed in my brew cave! April 15, 2010 at 5:38 AM. Yo: My fellow NOAA dude, where did you find those hop charts? April 25, 2010 at 11:47 AM. Searchable Ferme...

Thursday, June 24, 2010. Strawbeery Beach Blonde Ale Brew Day. Here's a few pics from the Strawbeery Beach Blonde's brew day! I use a thin mesh paint straining bag to control the hops in my boil. It really cuts down on the trub going into the fermenter. There is a trade off though, with a minor decrease in hop utilization. Mother Earth Brewing's cellerman Pete (Do you have my business card? After the brew feremented out in the primary, I added 5lbs of strawberries into the secondary fermenter. I needed t...

Beach Brewings: January 2010
http://beachbrewings.blogspot.com/2010_01_01_archive.html
Tuesday, January 26, 2010. Brother John's Abbey Ale. A couple months back, John E and I discussed putting together a nice winter ale. While what we experience in North Carolina doesn't really resemble winter, I was up to the challenge. The style I chose to go with is 18C - Belgian Trippel. The term dubbel, trippel, and quadruple are referring to the amount of malt in the brew. Trippel for example will generally see trippel the amount of fermentable sugars then your regular ale. Amount Item Type % or IBU.

Beach Brewings: June 2009

Tuesday, June 23, 2009. I prefer to use liquid yeast in all my brews. While dry yeast will give you enough viable yeast in a dry packet, it doesn't have the consistency from batch to batch that liquid yeast does. However there is a price difference between liquid yeast ( $7) and dry yeast ( $1). In order to start saving a bit of cash, I've decided to start washing my yeast. Seperating Trub in Carboy. Seperating Trub in Gallon Jars. The yeast will eventually settle to the bottom of the pint jars in the sa...

Monday, May 25, 2009. Man's Best Friend Update. So I've been a bit busy here the last few weeks. Jess and Ike came down to visit last week.

Alchohol By Volume: 5.08%. Color: 4.8 SRM. Links to this post. Labels: Mans Best Friend. Friday, May 8, 2009. Beer Review - St Feuillien Tripel. The beer has a nice yeasty arom...

Beach Brewings: Kegerator Build - Part Four (Final)
http://beachbrewings.blogspot.com/2010/06/kegerator-build-part-three.html
Thursday, June 24, 2010. Kegerator Build - Part Four (Final). A few of you have been bugging me to finally put up the final pictures of the kegerator. Since I finally have her cooling, serving, and fermenting beer, here's what she looks like:. Here's another view of the CO2 setup with the tank secured. This should be nice and easy when I have to switch CO2 tanks. Here's a look at a keg of Schulz Kolsch priming with CO2 on the top shelf. I'll eventually hook this up to tap #3. The Convenience Center rocks!
