I have been homebrewing since the mid 1990's. I do not have a science or engineering background, just enjoy making beers, keeping it simple and fun.

4 tap Kegorator started
After getting my RyePA starter going last night, began my 4 tap kegorator project. Since the inside of the upright refriderator door has wavy curves in the plastic, cut a big section out, while leaving the bottom door shelf in tact. The used foamboard glue in the cut out area to insulate the door. I think I'll use a peice of 1 by 2 on the inside so the shank nut has a stiffer surface to be tightened against so it doesn't wear the foamboard down over time from use. Hopefully I'll figure how to post pictures here or maybe at my Yahoo website.

Stoned beer
Looking to brew some sort of stone/steinbier the weekend of 3/12 by hook or by crook. First attempt to be some kind of Scottish Ale, but bought a couple of commercial steinbiers to retry. It has been a few years since I have had one and traditionally has been made with a base Bock beer. I think the malty sweetness holds up to the carmelized wort when boiling with hot stones. Will need to make the scottish malty, maybe do a 1 to half gallon boildown on the first runnings to up the richness of the malt. Interesting or disaster, will see!
