Hellsmoke in Long Island City

Saturday, September 25 , 2010

Will you be in NYC today? I am unable to be there, but my friends at the Long Island Beer & Malt Enthusiasts will be pouring my Hellsmoke Porter today at the Long Island City Beer Festival along side some excellent beer brewed by other members of the group.

More information here about the festival.

Progressing Step by Step

Saturday, September 4, 2010

I haven't been so good about keeping up with the old Brewhouse Blog these last few months. The learning curve continues on the new equipment, particularly with what have proven to be some finicky glycol units on the new fermenters. Some of the beer (Hellsmoke Porter, Beached Blonde, Vlad the Inhaler) made a good appearance at the North Fork Craft Beer Festival in August, but some of it hasn't turned out as good as I'd like (temperature control issues with the new fermenters). So, some of what was to be put out on shelves is being shelved. Beer will be flowing this month, however -- today I'll be bottling and kegging the batch of Old Walt Smoked Wit.
