Dan's Half-Assed Brewing Journal: Simcoe and Chinook Single Hop
http://half-assed-dan.blogspot.com/2010/01/simcoe-and-chinook-single-hop.html
Dan's Half-Assed Brewing Journal. Tuesday, January 12, 2010. Simcoe and Chinook Single Hop. So for my first beer after moving to Minneapolis (and getting the rest of my brewing supplies that my buddy in Chicago had) I decided I'd brew up a nice light bodied beer and split the batch to single hop with Simcoe's. And Chinooks. I wanted Simcoe. And a buddy suggested the Chinooks. I'm usually more of a fruity hop type guy (C-Hops) but these both sounded like nice choices that I'm not as familiar with. Total G...

Dan's Half-Assed Brewing Journal: June 2010
http://half-assed-dan.blogspot.com/2010_06_01_archive.html
Dan's Half-Assed Brewing Journal. Sunday, June 27, 2010. Tasting: Momma's Mango's Pale Ale and Time of the Month Pale Ale. So I've been putting off reviewing these fruit beers hoping they'd get a bit of carbonation. No luck. I may add some dry yeast to a few bottles and see what happens. Plus I brew way less in the summer as my weekends are always busy but I've never brewed so little as I have the past couple months. Momma's Mango's Pale Ale. Time of the Month Pale Ale. Intensily perfumed beer that smell...

Dan's Half-Assed Brewing Journal: Tasting: Langs Lil' Smokey
http://half-assed-dan.blogspot.com/2010/01/tasting-langs-lil-smokey.html
Dan's Half-Assed Brewing Journal. Sunday, January 31, 2010. Tasting: Langs Lil' Smokey. Pours a super dark brown that borderlines on black with a small dark tan cap that’s fairly small even with a aggressive pour. A nice thick collar and thin cap is maintained the entire beer as is a bit of spotty lacing. Awesome feel. It’s thick and rich with velvety smooth body as the carbonation is light and spot on. I wish all my beers had this body. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Minneapolis, MN, United States.

Dan's Half-Assed Brewing Journal: Imperial Bourbon Bacon Maple Breakfast Snout
http://half-assed-dan.blogspot.com/2010/04/imperial-bourbon-bacon-maple-breakfast.html
Dan's Half-Assed Brewing Journal. Thursday, April 29, 2010. Imperial Bourbon Bacon Maple Breakfast Snout. After taking a bit of a brewing break for a few months I decided it was time to come back with something unique and manly. When I think of manly I think of three things; Beer, Chew and Bacon. Since the first one is automatically included, I passed it over. My Smoked Stout is basically liquid chew spit so I checked that off the list. That leaves one thing, bacon! Brewed on April 15th 2010. Id cook up ...

Dan's Half-Assed Brewing Journal: Minneapolis Town Hall's Three Hour Tour Clone
http://half-assed-dan.blogspot.com/2010/01/minneapolis-town-halls-three-hour-tour.html
Dan's Half-Assed Brewing Journal. Sunday, January 17, 2010. Minneapolis Town Hall's Three Hour Tour Clone. Looking back on 2009 and all of the great beers that I sampled, one stands out in my mind. Minneapolis Town Hall's. Beer called Three Hour Tour. It's a Milk Stout brewed with raw coconut and some chocolate malts. The beer is lightly chocolaty and lightly coconuty. After talking to the bartender, she said that 165lbs of coconut was used in the brew. According to our half assed. But since I'm retarded...

Dan's Half-Assed Brewing Journal: Waxing Bottles - Classy!
http://half-assed-dan.blogspot.com/2010/02/waxing-bottles-classy.html
Dan's Half-Assed Brewing Journal. Sunday, February 28, 2010. Waxing Bottles - Classy! I've really been looking forward to Minneapolis Town Hall's. Barrel Aged Beer Week and more specifically, their Czar Imperial Stout aged in Jack Daniel's barrels. An I just wanted to melt enough wax to cover the lip of the growlers (and eventually the caps of Langs Lil Smokey. Since I had extra wax). Keep in mind, the little wax beads will melt down quite a bit so add a bit more than you think you'll need. Imperial Bour...

Dan's Half-Assed Brewing Journal: Nooby Dånbær
http://half-assed-dan.blogspot.com/2010/01/nooby-danbr.html
Dan's Half-Assed Brewing Journal. Sunday, January 31, 2010. My two favorite 'types' or 'kinds' of beers are anything brewed with coffee or fruit. My favorite of the latter kind is anything sour. So I decided it was time to finally get my first sour going. I did a bit of research and thanks to Mikes blog. I got a lot of useful information about where to start. I found his Brewing Sour Beer At Home. On my search to find a suitable recipe I decided I wanted a very light Lambic. And Wheat. Why exactly? 5526 ...

Dan's Half-Assed Brewing Journal: Surly AHA Rally
http://half-assed-dan.blogspot.com/2010/01/surly-aha-rally.html
Dan's Half-Assed Brewing Journal. Friday, January 15, 2010. I've been brewing now for somewhere around 4 years. I started in Boise, ID as a simple extract brewer and slowly worked my way up from there. Now that I'm finally brewing good beers I decided it was time to take the plunge and join the American Homebrewers. Upon doing some research about joining I discovered that the AHA was throwing a huge rally at Surly Brewing. Even better, Surly was giving all the homebrewers. If only I could swim in a giant...

Dan's Half-Assed Brewing Journal: Lang's Lil' Smokey
http://half-assed-dan.blogspot.com/2010/01/langs-lil-smokey.html
Dan's Half-Assed Brewing Journal. Wednesday, January 13, 2010. For brew #2 in Minneapolis I talked to a buddy (this guy: Adam. And asked if there was anything that he thought I should brew up. Without much hesitation he said a Smoked Stout. Okay. So I did a bit of research on the interweb. And found a fairly nice recipe. That looked pretty tasty. I wanted something on the lightly bitter side with a nice chocolate tone and super intense smoke. Minneapolis Town Hall made a Smoked Porter. Batch Size - 5 Gal...
