Pete's is just OK

Not one of my best, but not one of my worst.  I thought it was a bit sweet.  Kristi and I drank most of it this weekend, with my father having a few glasses.  It didn't yield as much as it should because I had a carbonation problem.  Either my keg leaked or I was just stupid.  I left my keg in the fridge with the CO2 tank attached.  I carbonated at 17 PSI, and stored it initially at 30 PSI.  I tried a pitcher one night, which means I had to drop the pressure to 7 PSI.  I left it there, and the beer chilled, and the pressure dropped, and I lost my seal.  The regulator then attempted to maintain a 7 PSI pressure, and just evacuated.  Luckily, I have an attachment for the 16g CO2 cartidges, which allowed me to re-carbonate and pressurize.  I just had no way of measuring pressure.  So I made it too high and got a lot of foam this past weekend.  Oh well.  Maybe the scottish stout porter will work out better.  I will re-fill my tank and pay more attention!

I hven't been keeping up with this site very much.  Really because I have been very busy at home, renovating the kitchen, and at work, travelling like crazy.  I finally taught another beer class yeste

I did 3 classes with the Green Growler this fall.  Taking a break for the winter and contemplating an intermediate all-grain class for the spring.  Problem is, it takes 4 - 6 hours to do an all-grain

I did my first brew class last month and had a really great time.  We had 12 people...strangely enough 2 couples, and a family of 3 amongst the ranks.  One of the wonen was a Chemical Engineer.  Appae
