Rod's Brew: A New Batch Started
http://rodsbrew.blogspot.com/2013/01/a-new-batch-started.html
My journal of my progress in learning the brewing arts. Saturday, January 26, 2013. A New Batch Started. I have not yet bottled the Cranberry Mead I started a while back, perhaps that'll be a task for this weekend. I also started a couple more bottles of the Mister Beer Bottle Brew. Mead recipe for this week's batch:. Bring 36 cups water to 160F (71C). I only have a 3Gallon stock pot, so I can't do the whole batch in one go]. Cook for 10 minutes or more at 160F or slightly higher. Add yeast nutrient 5tsp...

Rod's Brew: 3rd Place!
http://rodsbrew.blogspot.com/2013/05/3rd-place.html
My journal of my progress in learning the brewing arts. Sunday, May 26, 2013. In competition with 10 other meads my Cranberry and Spice mead took 3rd place in this weekend's competition. My average score between 3 judges was 36.66/50, scored according to the American Homebrewer's Association score sheet. While not an AHA/BJCP sanctioned competition, one of the 3 judges was a BJCP qualified judge, and his score of my mead was 40/50. Some of the comments from the judges were:. Nice colour, nice sweetness".

Rod's Brew: Beginning of Dec Check-in
http://rodsbrew.blogspot.com/2012/12/beginning-of-dec-check-in.html
My journal of my progress in learning the brewing arts. Saturday, December 8, 2012. Beginning of Dec Check-in. Well, the Cranberry Mead is filtering. That filter I bought, while slow, is awesome. using an AF2 filter I have taken some still very cloudy mead and turned it into something that looks like the red wine you might buy that is designed to be consumed relatively young. Clear, and clean looking. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Mister Beer Bottle Brew. Beginning of Dec Check-in.

My journal of my progress in learning the brewing arts. Sunday, June 9, 2013. Winner - 3 Rivers Festival Brewer's Competition. I entered 2 meads into the smaller Three Rivers Festival.

Rod's Brew: First Beer Started
http://rodsbrew.blogspot.com/2012/11/first-beer-started.html
My journal of my progress in learning the brewing arts. Wednesday, November 28, 2012. Today I went back to Vintner's Cellar to get a spare pail which I plan to use for cleaning my equipment in. While I was there I decided to pick up one of the Bottle Brew beer kits. He had on display. They claim to be the world's easiest beer kit, and it was cheap ($5) so I thought "why not? The second cap has a hole drilled in it and you can see a little bit of red inside the cap. This is called the pressure cap. The pr...

Rod's Brew: December 2012
http://rodsbrew.blogspot.com/2012_12_01_archive.html
My journal of my progress in learning the brewing arts. Wednesday, December 26, 2012. Mister Beer Bottle Brew. So I finally opened the Mister Beer Bottle Brew. Brown Ale that I mentioned starting a couple of posts ago. On Christmas eve, to share with my brother and brother-in-law. For a cheap ($5 for 2L) DIY beer it was really good. I can't imagine not using this method to produce cheap, but good, beer instead of buying big brewery beers. The fellow at Vintner's Cellar. Saturday, December 8, 2012. It is ...
