1.Zucchini casserole (www.brewcookpairjoy.com)
If you want to go all blitzkrieg-style on a bunch of zucchini, a good way to do it is with a casserole. I found a great recipe here, and modified it slightly to my own preferences. The author is a fellow comrade in the endless battle against overly bou...

6.Christmas in July: 25 Dodici (www.thebrewsite.com)
25 Dodici is another beer I’d featured on last year’s Advent Calendar: a strong Winter Warmer from Birra del Borgo in Italy, which I speculated had not been actually brewed since 2008. I must have been wrong about that, because imagine my s...

8.Christmas in July: Goose Island Christmas Ale (www.thebrewsite.com)
This past holiday season was the first year I remember seeing Goose Island Christmas Ale available here in Bend, and was also the first beer I picked for last year’s Advent Calendar—needless to say, it was one I knew I had to try (and had b...

9.10 Gallon Cooler For Mash Tun (www.brew-dudes.com)
I bought a ten gallon cooler for a mash tun. I decided that the 5 gallon cooler just wasn’t cutting it with the bazooka screen.
The next step is to buy a false bottom with some tubing and a 3/8 to 1/2 fitting to connect to my ball valve spi... -
10.Christmas in July: Winter Hum Bug’r (www.thebrewsite.com)
Portland’s MacTarnahan’s holiday offering is Hum Bug’r: an easy-drinking Porter wrapped up in packaging reminiscent of something you’d see in an indie graphic novel. The “hum bug” part of the name naturally makes you...

11.Proper Yeast (backyardbrewer.blogspot.com)
I've gotten into the habit of relying on Safale US05 to ferment several of the ales I like to have on tap at all times. This is a work horse of a yeast that attenuates in the low 80 percentile with a clean profile (minimal phenol and ester by products)...

15.All Grain Decocted Hefeweizen Recipe (www.themadfermentationist.com)
There are more than 100 recognized styles of beer being made today. For the most part I'm happy to ignore all of them and just brew what I want. I think ingredient combinations and techniques should be based on hitting the flavors and chara...

17.Do not show up tonight (mondaynightbrewing.com)
If you do, you will be bitterly disappointed. There will be no beer to brew. There will be no beer to drink. It will be hot. You will get bitten by mosquitoes.
You will drive home sobbing. It will be hard to see the road through your tears. You will sw... -
18.Roasted zucchini, garlic, and basil dip (www.brewcookpairjoy.com)
Okay, now this is my new favorite way of using up zucchini. This dip is painfully good. And so easy. Here are the ingredients for this roasted zucchini, garlic, and basil dip: 3 lbs zucchini, sliced into spears and seeded 1 head of garlic, cloves separ...

23.Good Dog (www.brainardbrewing.com)
So many people are hating on Brew Dog for their latest stunt. Packaging 55% ABV beer in dead rodents. That’s right, I called it a stunt, but I’m not about to lash out at them. On the surface this latest move is wrong on several levels: At 55% ABV, I th...

25.Homebrew Drinking Friday Night (www.brew-dudes.com)
Long week. Can’t wait to go home and have a homebrew drinking Friday night. I have a 9 month old hard cider that should be interesting to taste. Plus, a few Irish Red warmed to about 55°F will be nice as well.
I’ll take some photos of t...
