Irondale Brewing

How do different techniques impact bottle carbonation?

I added the bourbon-soaked oak chips to the Porter I have going yesterday and not too long after it kicked off a bit of additional fermentation activity!

ABV of 6.66%. Clever.

Tasting SoCo Homebrew's Brown Ale kit after about a week in the keg.

I was a day late brewing for the American Homebrewers Association Learn to Homebrew Day this year, but better late than never!

This must be my favorite glass since it winds up in all the photos!

Generally speaking I really like my Northern Brewer Gigawort, but a small leak problem has me frustrated.

I'll co-opt a David Foster Wallace book title and file this one under "A Supposedly Fun Thing I'll Never Do Again" but something compelled me to try a double brew day.

From first breaking ground on the new garage in 2020 to finishing out the dedicated brewing space as my wife and I had time, the day finally arrived!

The last piece is finally in!
