A while back I bought a bunch of rough cut Sapele boards to build a nice wine chiller credenza for my wife. As I got into that project, I just couldn't seem to keep the panels from cupping in my warm and humid workshop. So that project was scrapped. I had long been wanting to build a nice...

I brewed a couple 5 gallon batches of beer for a summer party we're throwing in August. I have an IPA and a Saison - both around 7% ABV. To give them a little extra summer flavor, I decided to add fruit to both - fresh mangoes to the IPA, honeydew melon and cucumbers to the Saison. Both...

I'm planning on making a Brett saison soon, something similar to Boulevard's Saison Brett. Will go with a simple grain bill - mostly Belgian pils and wheat - then do late/dry hopping with some Nelson and Citra I've been wanting to use up. Debating which route to go on yeast. I've heard a few...
