My father-in-law gave me ~5 lbs of brewer’s cut hops for christmas. Imagine how that package smelled as you unwrapped it.
Brewer’s cuts shipped from growers/packers to brewers for sampling. I got some Cascade, Willamette, and Centennial. Yum.

Blackbeard Oatmeal Stout Update
When I moved my stout from primary to secondary fermentation, the gravity had dropped from 1.050 to 1.020. Not quite what I wanted, so hopefully secondary will keep the process going.
I’m skeptical however, since below the layer of yeast trub was a dark layer of settled malt sediments. It was kind of pretty, but I fear it may have weakened my beer. So far its good, but a little sweet.

Log Away
Moveable Type seems to be functioning properly now. There’s no way to change the archive files from html to php, so I had to do some not so great things with the .htaccess file. It works now, and hopefully Scott will be albe to try it out soon.
Blackbeard Oatmeal Stout
I just brewed an Oatmeal stout that was my own recipe. I’m still somewhat concerned because the OG was only 1.050, but I’m hoping it was due to malt settling. Its a beautiful color, but we’ll have to wait and see how it turns out. I’ll add the recipe once I make sure its worth repeating.
First Entry – Test
This entry is a test so I can mess with the template.
I’m hoping to provide an easy to update beer log. I may duplicate my own log on here, maybe even *gasp* replace my paper beer log.
Anyway, this should provide a good place to put news, brews, etc.
