Well guys, I kegged my Coffee Porter today and I’m afraid to say that this batch may be a dumper. There was quite a bit of astringency from the coffee extraction. I even tried adding cold brew and flavorings to balance the astringent flavors, thinking I could add those to the keg to balance it out. However, I don’t think that…
Today I moved my 100% Brett Apricot IPA into tertiary fermentation, for a mosaic dry hop! Deep golden color, clear. Sweet malty nose, light sourness, slightly funky with subtle apricot fruit flavor. I hope to balance it out a bit with the fruity Mosaic hop.
I heard this quote this morning on one of my beer podcasts (Beersmith) and I wanted to post it here and show my nerdiness! Fermentation is Entropy Captured There we go, its out there…I’m a nerd! Jared
Today one of my oldest friends came by with his wife and daughter to meet our little Fisher (and drink some of my beer). It was such a pleasure to have Craig, Clare, and Lydia come visit this afternoon. It was fun to hang out both in a very new stage of our lives. Thanks for coming over!

I know it has been a long time, and I don’t expect that anyone is actually following by blog…however, I have finally gotten around to updating by Brewing Log/Recipes page. Check it out for the basic info on all of the beers I have brewed. I will eventually get the individual detailed brewing logs linked to each recipe…but that might…
Here is a collection of a bunch of random thoughts from brewers and fathers about their activities in brewing and parenting. Though I cannot now definitively state what types of things will be posted here, I am hopeful that it will contain information on the latest brews from the group, as well as musings about being a father. As an…
Today (October 6, 2016) I would like to welcome the birth of my first child, a little boy named Fisher King. This is that start of the brewingdad blog, and hopefully a great chronicle of the life and trials of a dad and brewer. I know that he will keep me very busy, which will likely take away from the…
