I have decided to brew our first ever all-grain Pilsener this weekend. It’s a simple recipe with only two malts and Saaz hops. Looking forward to serving it to folks in a couple of months. I hadn’t planned on making a pilsener at first, but I was inspired when I visited Fermentation Solutions for the [...]

Add a comment Posted @ March 19, 2009
Although my quote could have been better (“I got married so I needed a hobby” – what was I thinking??), Doug did a great piece on us for the local paper, The Noe Valley Voice. On a quiet corner in the heart of Noe Valley is a blue building with a (not-too) secret life. In [...]
