Chris Pal-Freeman - Technology, Brewing and Photography. 4 Batches in 5 Weeks. 10/22/2014: Ninkasi Clone Project 2: Total Domination IPA (Batch 1). Update: 11/7/2014 - into the Keg. I seem to have made more of a session Pale Ale rather then a true clone of Total Domination, but from what I sampled, I am pleased with the outcome. I will definitely attempt a true clone in the near future. 10/28/2014: My Innkeeper's Maple Bourbon Stout. Update: 11/07/2014 - in goes the Bourbon! Clarent was the result of my ...

Chris Pal-Freeman - Technology, Brewing and Photography. Well it is that time of year! Anyway, I digress. As I was saying, when I went to online to order my grain a funny thing happened there was a sale. Kolsch Grain Kits were half off. Hmm. I am sure I can figure out how make a Christmas Kolsch. Update: 10/24/2014 - into the Keg. Figure out a way to add a little holiday flair to a Klosch, I did! Other Blogs to Read:. The Nonsensical Roads of Pittsburgh. Random Musings of a Fledging Writer.

Random Musings of a Fledgling Writer: December 2014
http://knightleymusings.blogspot.com/2014_12_01_archive.html
Wednesday, December 31, 2014. I’m happy because I’m looking over my 2014 Writing Resolutions I wrote and posted a year ago, and all of them have been accomplished! Okay, a couple of them were accomplished in a slightly different way than I anticipated, but I can still check them off. Ticking off each from my list of resolutions, I…. Finished that YA novel and sent it out on submission. Still waiting to hear from a couple of publishers. Started working on a new YA novel, though it is not. Had moderate suc...

D.I.Y. Keg Tags - Chris Pal-Freeman - Technology, Brewing & Photography
http://www.mrpf.us/home/diy-keg-tags
Chris Pal-Freeman - Technology, Brewing and Photography. There are several ways to mark your kegs so you know what beers you have on hand. I started off using bread tags and a sharpie - cheap and functional, but not much room. I looked into Grogtags, love the idea! Mine tags have spots for Beer Name, Date Kegged, ABV and notes. I use the note section for Tasting Notes or Aging Information. How do you mark your kegs? Other Blogs to Read:. The Nonsensical Roads of Pittsburgh.

Chris Pal-Freeman - Technology, Brewing and Photography. Over the next month, I will be using both Brewer’s Friend and Brewtoad Pro. One drawback already to Brewtoad, is I had to subscribe to their Pro service to get an apples to apples comparison. But, we will see… Ultimately, I may have to look into creating my own set of tools to get everything I want. Which is one of the reasons, I started the blog. So, Brewer’s Friend. What is your brewing software of choice and why? Other Blogs to Read:.

Wednesday, July 30, 2014. In the last paragraph of my last post, I mentioned having a YA fantasy out on submission. Perhaps it is time for me to come out of another one of my writer’s closets. Yes, I write YA. And no, I do not do so under the same name as I write Romance. I have an alter ego. I’m just trusting that somehow it will work. We are at http:/ yatriplescoop.blogspot.com/. The YA Triple Scoop: Sarah, Monica, Heather. Thursday, July 17, 2014. My debut novel, THE VAMPIRE’S PASSION,. Has been out f...

Chris Pal-Freeman - Technology, Brewing and Photography. Okay, I am a bit overdue on the review of my experience with Brewtoad, this is due to the pandora’s box that I opened by conducting my experiment. First, let me say, I am not a paid reviewer and have no vested interest in swaying anyone’s opinion. I am simply relaying my thoughts and experiences. With that in mind, I really wanted to like Brewtoad! Brewgr, the lucky find? Questions about my experiences the web apps? Other Blogs to Read:. Random Mus...

Chris Pal-Freeman - Technology, Brewing and Photography. 2 another shot. Yeah, another recipe conversion. The upgrades from version 1 to 2 are pretty solid. I have always liked their Inventory and recipe functions, now they are even better. I the updated Beer Alchemy app on my iPad as well. From the iPad, I can manage both brew sessions and my inventory, then, I simply sync the changes back to my desktop. Excellent! Now I am set. Other Blogs to Read:.

Ninkasi Clone Project 1: Update and Water Upgrade?! - Chris Pal-Freeman - Technology, Brewing & Photography
http://www.mrpf.us/home/ninkasi-clone-project-1-update-and-water-upgrade
Chris Pal-Freeman - Technology, Brewing and Photography. Ninkasi Clone Project 1: Update and Water Upgrade? Well, I had a chance to age and now sample my Believer Double Red from My Ninkasi Clone Project. The Final Gravity was 1.016. The Flavor was good, but the mouth feel and maltiness were not there. Not bad for the first attempt. This batch tastes more like Ninkasi’s Dawn of the Red lighter in body and very hop forward. Happy Mistake! Where did I go wrong? Other Blogs to Read:.
