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.

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.
