Irondale Brewing

It's time to taste the Citra Pale Ale!

Part one of the Komos Kegerator assembly.

Happy New Year! I'm a bit late tasting the results of my Christmas Ale experiment, but better late than never.

The Irondale Brewing taproom got a big upgrade today with the arrival of a new Komos Four-Tap Kegerator!

Bottle carbonation experiment results!

Partial mash + 30 minute boil = a fast brew day.

After adding bourbon-soaked oak cubes to a batch of Porter and patiently waiting a couple of weeks for it to condition in the keg, it was finally time to see how this beer was coming along.

I'm a bit late getting started on this one so it'll actually be more of a New Year's Ale by the time it's ready, but this is a brew day I've been looking forward to for a while.

The condensation on the range hood in the brewing space is the one major issue with the space that I'd like to resolve, but before replacing the range hood with a condensation hood, I wanted to do a test batch in the kitchen in the house to see if the behavior was similar.

It's finally time to try my batch of this year's Learn to Homebrew Day recipe.
