Commercial Beer Reviews / Atomium Grand Cru

« on: January 07, 2012, 09:25:35 AM »

Recently ran across a beer I'd never seen before, Atomium Premier Grand Cru http://atomiumbeerusa.com . I loved it. The yeast character reminded me a bit of Ardennes yeast, but not quite as tart. It's made with Barley, spelt, maize, wheat, buckwheat and rye as well as Curacao orange zest and coriander. Spalt and Saaz hops. I highly recommend giving it a try if you run across it.

Ingredients / Wild rice question

« on: November 16, 2011, 09:07:09 AM »

Does anyone know what type of sugars, and the amount, you get from wild rice? This site http://calorielab.com/foods/rice/wild-rice-raw/21/20088/1 says 1.1 gr. of sucrose per 160 gr. of rice, but it also seems to suggest a total of 4 gr. of sugar. If that's the case, does anyone know what else is in there?

The Pub / Thank you veterans!

« on: November 11, 2011, 08:03:38 AM »

Please take a minute today to reflect on the veterans who have sacrificed so much for all of us. Without these fine men and women our country might be far different today. We owe them a debt far greater than we can ever pay. Hoist a pint and say thanks.

And please, don't degrade this thanks by making this a political conversation.

General Homebrew Discussion / Beer Camping

« on: November 06, 2011, 03:16:32 PM »

I just returned from Sierra Nevada Beer Camp. It was probably the single best, most fun beer experience I've ever had. We spent the first day touring the plant and learning about how they do things there. The second day we brewed 2 10 bbl. batches of our beer, "Alternate Ending" altbier, in the pilot brewhouse. We used both American and German hops, including a new experimental variety called only #366. I'll be writing more about it in the next few days, but here are some pics to get you started.
