Laughing Dog Brewing is Going International

I just have to say that I Love where I live! Even when the weather is crappy and the rain seems like it won't end there is always a light at the end of the tunnel. After a wonderful sunny weekend spent around Coeur d'Alene riding my bike, walking, and drinking in the usual places I was headed for …

Fellow Zymurgeek and assistant brewer at Boulder Creek Brewing Company Joe Yuhas was kind enough to invite me up to the brewery to sample some beer and talk to the head brewer Matt Heber about what it's like to brew beer deep in the redwoods of the San Lorenzo Valley. …

Stone Brewing Co’s Greg Koch

During lunch I swung over to Royal Liquors on State Line and 103rd St. (Kansas City). Greg was supposed to host a tasting and signing from 12-1p… I showed up right around 12 with no one in sight…

No worries, they were running 20 minutes late. So, I swung over to Taco Bell for something I’m sure I’ll later regret, then headed back to Royal to meet the man himself. I only chatted with him for a few minutes, as others were lined up to meet him and get their bottles signed. I did…

Did anyone else go through a 'conversion' phase before 'enlightenment'?

I was thinking about this on the way back & forth to work (I have a 1.5 hr round trip for work / day). There was a time when I would try and convert people from drinking, what I call, "fast food" beers. You know the ones I'm talking about, I don't think I need to bring them up here. Even to the point of berating when they would say "Well it's the King of Beers", I would reply with "Well that's not surprising since it tastes like it came out of a 'throne'. ", or something equally…

Washing Yeast

I keep things pretty simple when in comes to using yeast, pitch a large, healthy amount. I feel confident in the beer quality if I can get a quick and vigorous ferment to occur within twelve hours. If I'm using the dry packets like Safale, which are inexpensive enough to be generous, I pitch three packets directly into ten gallons of aerated wort. I don't bother re-hydrating the yeast. If I use Whitelabs liquid yeast I step the colony up a couple of times to…

Avery Brewing Co. Announces Plans To Exit 8 States and 7 Partial State Markets

Craft beer fans in eight states became very sad today as Avery Brewing Co. announces they will be removing themselves from eight states and seven other partial-state markets starting in April. This year Avery has seen tremendous growth in their product with 81% growth in Colorado and overall production growth of 75%. With increase in growth comes the question, “Can one continue to support all markets with a continuous flow of fresh… Continue

Reusing yeast

This article is getting quite a few hits on my blog, so I thought I'd repost it here.

When I had finished bottling my pale ale on Monday night, I had a couple of inches of yeast slurry in the bottom of my fermenter. I’d heard previously that you can re-use this sludge to make another brew so I thought that I would look into it in a little more detail. Well, as usual, Google is my friend…

So yes, it can be done!

The following are some of the recommendations that… Continue

Homebrew Class Structure

I've received requests for the syllabus of my five week brewing course that I teach here in California. I want to make the course available to those that would like to duplicate the system that I use by publishing the hand-outs that I provide the students when conducting the classes. These hand-outs contain all of the information that is covered during the classes, but it is up to the teacher to bring the experience, knowledge and confidence in brewing to the equation to make the class… Continue
