He gave me a Imperial Double Chocolate Stout that he brewed and boy that was good. It foamed a bit but the taste was fantastic. I told him that the next time he brewed that I would help clean up or something. Maybe I can get some more of this Imperial Stout.<br /><br /> <a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_Q_ROjPNGLT0/TBmx5CQRjsI/AAAAAAAAB7g/vLKNVLkJrow/s1600/photo%2812%29.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_Q_ROjPNGLT0/TBmx5CQRjsI/AAAAAAAAB7g/vLKNVLkJrow/s400/photo%2812%29.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5483609614716079810" border="0" /></a>yodamonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05358801693781341342noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3384585224754187702.post-34970835859620217312010-01-16T16:45:00.000-08:002010-01-16T17:09:44.086-08:00Today we are trying to clone Guinness<div style="text-align: center;"><span class="status-body"><span class="entry-content">@<a class="tweet-url username" href="http://twitter.com/punkass">punkass</a> @<a class="tweet-url username" href="http://twitter.com/sphamma">sphamma</a> and I are making a dark Guinness like stout</span></span><span class="status-body"><span class="entry-content">, @<a class="tweet-url username" href="http://twitter.com/sphamma">sphamma</a> brought over a new recipe for a </span></span><span class="status-body"><span class="entry-content">Guinness clone.

I thought this would be a good way to get more practice in and get my taste buds something different to try. Anyone out there who has done this? If so, let me know the results.

It was dark out as this week is the first week since the Fall time change and we hung out in the garage and gave toast to this great brew. After I poured my beer from the keg, I noticed that it had a great color so I tried to photograph it with some back lighting. I think it made it too orange but you get the feel. After that we geek-ed out over taking more photos and agreeing that this is one of our best batches of beer that we ever made.<br /><br />Here are some of our photos. <div><br /><br /><div><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_Q_ROjPNGLT0/SvERE9h5uNI/AAAAAAAABZQ/JhKE2eUwkmc/s1600-h/Beer+homebrew+sparkshomebrew.com+yodamon+hopps+ale+October+2009+017.JPG"><img style="width: 400px; height: 267px;" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5400116205127842002" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_Q_ROjPNGLT0/SvERE9h5uNI/AAAAAAAABZQ/JhKE2eUwkmc/s400/Beer+homebrew+sparkshomebrew.com+yodamon+hopps+ale+October+2009+017.JPG" border="0" /></a> </div><br /><div></div><br /><div><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_Q_ROjPNGLT0/SvESXXwUSJI/AAAAAAAABZY/hDujcgxuhGc/s1600-h/Beer+homebrew+sparkshomebrew.com+yodamon+hopps+ale+October+2009+002.JPG"><img style="width: 400px; height: 267px;" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5400117620916897938" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_Q_ROjPNGLT0/SvESXXwUSJI/AAAAAAAABZY/hDujcgxuhGc/s400/Beer+homebrew+sparkshomebrew.com+yodamon+hopps+ale+October+2009+002.JPG" border="0" /></a></div><br /><div></div><br /><div></div>We thought a photo of the work bench and the laptop with our site was appropriate.<br /><div></div><br /><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_Q_ROjPNGLT0/SvESvPy5U-I/AAAAAAAABZg/xjPYtS5iqFs/s1600-h/Beer+homebrew+sparkshomebrew.com+yodamon+hopps+ale+October+2009+042.JPG"><img style="width: 400px; height: 267px;" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5400118031097091042" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_Q_ROjPNGLT0/SvESvPy5U-I/AAAAAAAABZg/xjPYtS5iqFs/s400/Beer+homebrew+sparkshomebrew.com+yodamon+hopps+ale+October+2009+042.JPG" border="0" /></a><br /><div><br /></div><br /><br /><div></div></div>yodamonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05358801693781341342noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3384585224754187702.post-42804377437052602662009-10-31T15:17:00.000-07:002009-11-03T21:41:06.792-08:00<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_Q_ROjPNGLT0/SvEOg3AZL_I/AAAAAAAABZA/YM94h7j42-s/s1600-h/16270_1253613013361_1020628959_796490_7515846_n.jpg"><img border="0" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_Q_ROjPNGLT0/SvEOg3AZL_I/AAAAAAAABZA/YM94h7j42-s/s400/16270_1253613013361_1020628959_796490_7515846_n.jpg" /></a><br /><br />Dean tastes the first taste from our new beer. <div style="CLEAR: both"><a href="http://picasa.google.com/blogger/" target="ext"><img style="BORDER-BOTTOM: 0px; BORDER-LEFT: 0px; PADDING-BOTTOM: 0px; PADDING-LEFT: 0px; PADDING-RIGHT: 0px; BACKGROUND: 0% 50%; BORDER-TOP: 0px; BORDER-RIGHT: 0px; PADDING-TOP: 0px; -moz-background-clip: initial; -moz-background-origin: initial; -moz-background-inline-policy: initial" border="0" alt="Posted by Picasa" align="middle" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/pbp.gif" /></a></div>yodamonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05358801693781341342noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3384585224754187702.post-89581553386170092322009-10-12T13:59:00.000-07:002009-10-12T14:02:01.241-07:00Brew Interest by Country<div style="text-align: center;">Check out where our readers are coming from<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_Q_ROjPNGLT0/StOZGiEUcHI/AAAAAAAABWU/65LzHE9GKHw/s1600-h/GlobalMap.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 172px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_Q_ROjPNGLT0/StOZGiEUcHI/AAAAAAAABWU/65LzHE9GKHw/s400/GlobalMap.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5391821516395802738" border="0" /></a><br /></div>yodamonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05358801693781341342noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3384585224754187702.post-49467958085601624072009-10-11T19:54:00.000-07:002009-10-12T11:19:55.083-07:00Finally a brewing day is here!<div style="text-align: center;">Well it has been a long long time but today we are starting<br />a new batch of Sierra Ale.<br /><br /><br />A trip to <a href="http://www.renohomebrewer.com/">Reno Homebrewer</a> is always an adventure to start the process.<br /><br />Damn that moose, his eyes are always following me!

The Honey Nut Brown ale that we last bottled is not that good. I'm not sure what the taste issue is but I think it is bleachy. @Punkass had mentioned this a last week but I didn't think this was so until tonight. I was going through the last two bottles that I had and found that I could taste it quite clearly. We thought that we were using too much bleach in the sterilization process or the local water supply. @PunkAss has tasted the Irish Stout and says that it tastes good. We are going to have to rethink some of the processes in place. The book mentioned below does have the bottle sterilization done in the dishwasher without soap. We just might have to try this. Even on the Irish Stout that being bottled tomorrow.yodamonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05358801693781341342noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3384585224754187702.post-67066584620152175012009-02-01T08:29:00.000-08:002009-02-01T08:34:35.810-08:00Reno Home Brew yeastsDigging through the photos that @PunkAss and I have we found this.
