It's official! The barley wine we brewed last week is on 11.7%, and the imperial stout is 14.1%. Perfect. Now for aging...


Great brew day yesterday, brewing two massive beers: a RIS (OG 1.154) and a barley wine (OG 1.124). Happily fermenting away!

Summer Fest is a day away! Cape Town beer community, please spread the message far and wide! quicket.co.za/events/25718-s…


Second infection in 3 years of brewing. Malt had been milled a while back, and got hops from someone else. Lesson learnt: only fresh.


50th celebration English pale ale/session ipa conditioning nicely, and blonde is dry hopping for #restfest @restlessriverRR. Love Summer!


Bottled the Duvel clone today brewed with @Alchemyxbubbles. Split between 2 crown caps and cork. Damn excited to taste this one!

Great day of brewing with @Alchemyxbubbles for our Duvel clone that we'll do some MCC experiments on. Interesting times ahead!


Latest experimental beer bottled: whisky salted caramel imperial amber ale/wee heavy hybrid. Tasting interesting

And the time has come to get the breweries signed up for #CTFOB. Any new breweries you would like to see this year?


Finally testing out the mash tun this Saturday with an interesting twist on an amber ale. Can't wait!


You know you love brewing when you start the day reading about biotransformation and hop oils. Fascinating stuff! Thanks @ScottJanish!

Possibly my favorite beer I've brewed to date. Session ipa with oats and rye. Just over 4%. Very happy


Came up with a great idea last night. Brewing in December...


Perfectly clear and drinking beautifully: crisp, clean, slight hop bite. My pilsner is better than I'd hoped.

Bottled the session ipa yesterday. Great colour! Looking forward to this one in the next month or so.

Mash tun tested, some valuable lessons learnt. Need to do a proper mash/brew to test efficiency though.


Rodney (my new mash tun) is all set up on Beersmith, ready for the test mash tomorrow. Testing efficiency, temp loss etc. Excited!


The new mash tun drains like a dream, with very little dead space (liquid left behind). Next up: a test mash
