HopHead Brew Blog

Ok, I am going to do another post about homebrewing clubs. This blog and the rest of the site is dedicated to promoting the wonderful hobby of home beer brewing. Here is the link to the old post. Anyone in any brew club anywhere should post a comment with info on your club. If we all work together, we can help new brewers find clubs in their local area. That is the goal here, get brewing, the new year is almost here!

Hello Everybody, I know that there are many who visit this blog, yet post no comments, that is ok, but when you find a post that you either agree with or don’t, post a comment relevant to that topic, that is how it is suppose to work.

Anyway, for several months now, I have just posted articles that I felt might help someone, kind of a one way street.

That is all about to change, I am taking a more active role in writing the posts, since I am always reading posts on other blogs and viewing other websites, I am going to share more of that here. I will also be posting comments on those blogs, I guess that is what I have been doing wrong, sorry. I now realize that to get more activity here, I have to be more active elsewhere, kind of a what goes around comes around kind of thing. I found a blog with a lot of great advice, read it for yourself here

So, the timing is actually just a coincidence, but I guess I can call this a new years resolution. Ilook forward to seeing more comments soon! Happy surfing!

Basement Update: The Slow-mo Hoppy Honey Wheat

Being this was the first recipe I designed on my own, I had a lot riding on this one. The wort was boiled on Sunday night and I didn’t see any movement in the air lock until after work Wednesday night. Read more

Yes, I spend a lot of time hunting other websites related to the wonderful hobby of homebrewing beer, the link above is to another site I found.

How to Build a Kegerator
Draft beer can be served in the comfort of one’s home with a kegerator (a portmanteau of “keg” and “refrigerator”). Kegerators are converted refrigerators that enable anyone to have one or more kegs of chilled beer on tap. Homebrewed beer as well as commercial kegs of beer can be served with a kegerator, and the quality will be identical to that found in your local tavern or brewpub. Kegerators are relatively easy to build and operate, and can be quite cost effective. Kegerators are also quite “green”, as they eliminate the need for bottled and canned beer. read more

I found this and thought it could be helpful, I use a chest freezer myself

Chocolate Imperial Stout

This particular beer review is a bit different. It is different in the sense that none of you will actually be able to buy it. “What’s the point, then?†you ask. Well, I wanted to swing things a little differently today and talk about homebrew beers as a whole. Don’t really know anything about it? Yes, it’s a geeky thing you can do in your mom’s basement with your friends. But it can be much more. read the rest here

This is from an interesting site I stumbled accross, and thought worthy of a mention, click the link above to visit that site, Happy Homebrewing!

Now that you have learned to brew your own beer and have been waiting for about a month for your beer to be done brewing, you may be thinking that you would like your beer to be a little clearer. Your beer being hazy will not actually change the taste of the beer, however it will not look that appealing and if you offer it to friends or family, you know there is a high probability that they will turn it down. No need to worry there is actually a few different ways to clarify your beer that work well and will not change the flavor. more
