Savage Brew, Part 1
I thought I’d try one of those blog "series" things with one of my major hobbies/passions. This is the first post of however many it takes, documenting the home brewing process with Savage Brew.
Brian, my brewing partner, and I have been brewing for a little over a year now. Starting with a canned recipe, we’ve seen a lot of progression in our process, our recipes, and our results. From a stanky-skanky coffee stout to our most recent successes, which include a Honey Wheat, an Apple Porter, and a burly Imperial Oatmeal Stout, we’ve added up a lot of brewing experience.
A lot has changed over the year. We’ve defintely gained more knowledge about how to brew a good beer. It starts with choosing the right style, something you know you are going to enjoy and that other people (your wives and closest friends) will as well. We’ve made everything from IPAs to blacker-than-night Stouts. It’s really about working with a style, finding the high points (hoppy IPAs, rich Stouts) and bringing those attributes out.
that post was way too short. I want to hear more, cause whenever you tell me in person I always forget 30 seconds after you tell me or I give up and just nod my head and smile.
