Southern California Homebrewer's Festival

Submitted by drew on Tue, 05/07/2013 - 23:12

This year's edition of the Southern California Homebrewer's Festival featured 39 home brew clubs and a massive ton of beer. I saw everything I think you can make there from American Light Lagers to rip roaring super stupefying meads. Had some great beers like a brilliant Watermelon Sour where you could taste the rind. I never could find it again, so if you know who was pouring a watermelon sour beer at the SCHF, please let me know! ([email protected]).

Thanks!

Rather than thank everyone individually for every post in the forums, I wanted to just give everybody an overall thanks for your contributions. We're off to a great start and we've got a long way to go, but every post is valuable to us and hopefully it will be to other homebrewers.

Big Brew

Well, I hosted a Big Brew for the 14th time yesterday. 5 brewers, about a dozen drinkers. No strange ingredients used, unless you count all the crap that blew into kettles due to the high wind. every year, on the day after Big Brew as I clean up, I always seem to feel more than a year older since the last one!

Forum - fixed, I think

My apologies - earlier when we launched, it seems that someone *cough* me *cough* forgot to give users the ability to make a forum post. It should be fixed now! Fire away.

SCHF Bound and Time to Find Wacky Ideas

Submitted by drew on Sat, 05/04/2013 - 00:17

Hey everyone, so I'm sitting here I just packed up for tomorrow's Southern California Homebrew Festival at beautiful Lake Casitas, CA near Ojai. 1800 homebrew enthusiasts will gather around the lake looking to sample beers from nearly 30 different clubs. Each club has it's own little booth and lots of fun pouring strange things. If you think I'm not researching like a mad man at this fest, you don't know me so well!

Announcing Experimental Brewing - The Book

Submitted by Administrator on Thu, 05/02/2013 - 08:42

Coming in 2014 from Drew Beechum and Denny Conn is Experimental Brewing, a book about how to play with your beer. We'll be blogging the harrowing journey of two men, sitting in front of laptops pulling our hair. Actually, strike that, what we really want is your feedback. We've both spent an inordinate time online answering questions, reading other people's experiences and generally thinking way too much about homebrewing.
