Hi Dan, no, I’m a home brewer.

Do you sell your beers anywhere? I’d love to give them a try.

I have a respect to a homebrewer that grows his own hops.

No Modelo Especial is not the finest of beers. Especialy in comparison to trully great craft beers like Dogfishhead! . But to be really fair u should try it out of a bottle ice cold. Maybe a . C?lol . Negra Modelo is much better. Btw:great idea ! no joke! i would scrimp and save to stay a night at ur hotel!

Greg Koch is a really interesting individual. This is a great blog post on him that I truly enjoyed and learned from. I'm writing a piece on him a two other California brewers for my beer coupons and this has been insightful. Thanks. Cheers, Mate!

Comment on Berliner Weisse Brew Day by Roy

I followed your Berliner Weisse recipe with a few changes: upped the Pilsner and White Wheat by a pound each, used White Labs lacto and European yeast. After one month in the bottle, I sampled it and it’s completely still, wonderful yeasty aroma, pleasant lemony sourness and lemonade color. Any suggestions for a fix? More patience or an intervention? Even with this carbonation issue, the No Boil method is something that I’ll definitely try again. Thanks.

Comment on Dunkelweizen and Double IPA Home Brew Day by Philip Sharp

I love the dunkels. I love Cascadian Ales/Black IPAs.
I wonder: is there a happy medium?
An unusually hoppy dunkel with some malt/yeast nods from the San Diego IPA scene?

I’d like to try to make one…

Full disclosure: I’m very inexperienced. Perhaps it’s nothing but a pipe dream.

I find this beer extremely sweet… and also very hoppy. Personally, I like the juxtaposition. On draft you can’t taste the alcohol. Definitely not one dimensional.

I made this recipe a month back with spent grain from a batch of porter. Soooooo good, best sandwich bread I have had in … probably forever. I am currently baking some more loaves with some of that same grain (i froze some) to bring to Thanksgiving dinner along with the porter. Pretty pumped! I may attempt to make it into dinner rolls rather than bread – I will likely follow up if I try that and it works out well :p
