Brew Thru #3 - Beer Style Finder and Guest Post Link

Wow, we are in March already!  We just got hit with hopefully our LAST Snow of the winter...

In this Brew Thru I will discuss:

  • Basement induction brewery updates 
  • A cool new beer style finder tool
  • Posts made on other sites and YouTube


Brewery Updates 

Currently over-analyzing what type of faucet for my utility sink will be the best "bang for my buck."  Also need to decide on what type of fan I want for venting the steam.  I really need to get moving on this though so I can start make some beer.  This winter has seemed like forever, and not having the indoor brewery setup is a constant slap in my face


Beer Styles Finder

Most of the homebrewing community is already aware of the imminent style updates coming to the BCJP Style Guidelines.  But what about just the beer lovers?  With the craft brew expanding to the masses the Craft Brewers Association as come up with a cool new tool on their web site to discuss beer styles!

(Beer Styles)


It is pretty nice tool which will help potential beer lovers find a beer that meets their palate needs.  In the picture below I selected 'Malty' and 'Hoppy' and was present with the following applicable styles: American Brown, American Imperial Red, American Stout, and Specialty.

Give it a try and see what you think!


Shegogue Brew around the Web

If you didn't see I had a guest post over on The Homebrew Academy where I talked about induction brewing.  I seem to mention it a lot here on my blog, but if you want to learn more about how it works I recommend check out the post.

I also just uploaded my second Homebrew Wednesday video where I give a visual walk-through of what I would do on a brew day and give an organization quick tip.


Other Thoughts

Really need to get back to updating/creating labels.  I am trying to do some GIMP tutorials to figure out how to make a new logo.  Any thoughts or tips in this area would be much appreciated!
