Brewer's Notes

My first homebrew batch, a double IPA from a kit. Protip: Obey the instructions when they say to stop bottling it if the siphon starts passing "silt." 3 out of 4 of the beers were awesome but every once in a while we'd get a super-yeasty exploder on our hands.

My upcoming attempt will be off of a recipe instead.

Go forth and acquire knowledge so that homebrew swaps in the Hudson Valley shall be bountiful.

Comment by Matt Rettig on October 18, 2010 at 2:54pm: I'd be interested in talking about the barley field. Hops are also easy to grow, and our climate is perfect for them. Do you have a plan for malting the barley once it's harvested? Seems like a lot of work, but the thought of a beer not just homebrewed but "homegrown" is tantalizing!

Comment by D. C. Rowland on October 12, 2010 at 11:19pm: I have a small, one acre, field I am considering planting in barley (or rye) if there are enough people interested in working with it.

Comment by Dave Liepmann on February 26, 2010 at 2:42pm: Quick note--goat loin marinated in IPA with rosemary, garlic, black pepper and a dash of cumin really takes in the flavor.

Cook it right in the marinade, flipping halfway through so it soaks into both sides.
