I live in Ft Collins. You ever go to Liquid Poets?

I thought the beer wasn't fermenting and it was. I didn't take any gravity readings, lesson learned there. I originally re-pitched on top of an old yeast cake. I didn't see vigorous or really any fermentation so I thought it didn't work. I made a starter of the same strain of yeast 24 hrs...

Yeah, I actually brewed a beer yesterday with steeping grains. I was thinking about adding crystal 20L, but decided against it since it is supposed to be a SMASH. I'm still waiting a few more batches to switch to all grains. I still have to build a mash tun.

I was Basic Brewing Podcast episode http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I-bS3CGrPec about the New Albion Ale. There is going to be a virtual tasting somehow. I made my version of the S.M.A.S.H. extract style. I re-pitched it into a fermentor I had the West Coast Blaster in. This what I brewed...

Yeah its a fun time living here, a lot of good beer.

I'm applying for a job a brewery in town where I live. It is only part time working two days a week in the tap room. I normally wouldn't apply, but being a wildland firefighter I have some time off this winter. I figured maybe it will turn into something better before I have to return to...

I free hop it, that way my guess can do what they want

I was up in Seattle and Conway this spring for my wilderness first responder class. You guys have done well in the craft beer scene.

Just joined yesterday, figured I'll say hey. Got 4 brews under my belt and I just bought ingredients for three more. I bottle all my beer, but may get into kegging soon. I'm always looking for tasty beers with a high ABV!
