destined4failure: If you're gonna open a craft brewery, should you go 'big' or 'stay safe'?
http://destined4failure.blogspot.com/2014/08/if-youre-gonna-open-craft-brewery.html
Adventures in suburban homebrewin'. Monday, August 11, 2014. If you're gonna open a craft brewery, should you go 'big' or 'stay safe'? A new microbrewery opened up last weekend. With great curiosity and anticipation, I went to the opening with some friends. I came away with the following observations:. The reason why people (some, not all) choose 'craft beer', is because 1) they want to support local, or 2) they are fed up with the macro offerings or 3) they want something different from the norm or 4) l...

destined4failure: RIP Ed McNally, a true Canadian craft beer pioneer
http://destined4failure.blogspot.com/2014/08/rip-ed-mcnally-true-canadian-craft-beer.html
Adventures in suburban homebrewin'. Wednesday, August 20, 2014. RIP Ed McNally, a true Canadian craft beer pioneer. Big Rock's founder, Ed McNally, died at the age of 89. Back in 1991, my then girlfriend-now-wife and I moved from Ottawa to Lake Louise, AB. In those days, I was a devoted Molson Export drinker. But due to inter-provincial import/export laws, I couldn't get my beloved "Ex" out west. What was I going to drink? Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). View my complete profile. Well, here I am back...

destined4failure: Alcohol - the reason for, and solution, to all our problems
http://destined4failure.blogspot.com/2006/03/alcohol-reason-for-and-solution-to-all.html
Adventures in suburban homebrewin'. Monday, October 29, 2007. Alcohol - the reason for, and solution, to all our problems. 1 Phone calls: While I agree with you that communication is important, I question the suggestion that any conversation of substance or necessity takes place after 2 am Why would you make me call those I know for a fact do not want to hear from me during the day, let alone all hours of the night? Cheese curls and chili cheese fries)? 5 Redbull and vodka me = BAD. Since opening our Cra...

It’ll be a berry yummy place in a few years. In the aftermath of ‘The Big Mess’ late-winter-hugelkultur project. Great strides have been made in our quest for a fruitful future.

On building, beer, bread and big ideas on a wee Gulf Island. January 23, 2015. January 23, 2015. Earlier this week, my neighbour John worked his excavator magic and we slotted the last interior beam into the NW corner of the house. One end is bolted to a 3/8 thick flitch plate, cut on a water jet table in Nanaimo by Unlimited Fabrication. The other end rests on a ladder until this coming weekend when I’ll add a built-up post of four 2X6s that will ultimately be housed inside an 18-inch thick wall. Last S...

Home of St. James Brewery. The History of St. James Brewery. Just a quick post about some recent good fortune of mine. Ontario Beer Kegs. You can see the random drawing by watching the video here:. I added a few bucks of my own and ended up getting:. Two wooden faucet handles. To replace the dinky plastic ones on my kegerator – the aesthetic difference is night and day. To add to my boil kettle (haven’t installed it yet). A DIPA partial extract beer kit. A free t-shirt for spending more than $100.

On building, beer, bread and big ideas on a wee Gulf Island. January 6, 2015. January 7, 2015. An epic flame and the Tall Boy kettle rattled towards a boil, 28 litres of Pilsner in the making. The graduation of my all-grain brewing from the kindergarten of an 18 litre pot and homemade double bucket lauter tun to a post-secondary 60 litre kettle and 40 litre converted Igloo cooler mash tun complete with false floor and ball valve for easy sparging. I see it as time well spent on the house build. Adapted a...
