<-------"What the heck is that" you may be asking yourself. That's my new batch of beer brewing....a delicious Java Stout. I've never tried brewing a dark beer before, but since I've had so many lately due to the dark and cloudy skies here in Portland, I thought I would give it a go. It looks like it is coming along nicely. A nice head of foam is there and the yeast is busy eating as much sugary malt as it can right now. In a few days, I'll have warm, alcoholic beer. Next step is to add the cold pressed coffee to the secondary fermentator. I can't wait to get this first batch of beer in the kegerator...just in time for St. Patricks day.
The Brew Hounds - Where it all began...
This is me and my friend Bill. We are enjoying a pint (truthfully, multiple pints) of beer at the Portland Holiday Ale Festival. It was a cool, clear winter night, and we decided to howl at the moon and declare ourselves as the official "Brew Hounds". If you close your eyes and listen closely, you can hear us howling away......rrrrhoooooooooooo
