Brewing up A Brown Ale

August 23, 2013 by Benjamin and Koshiki Leave a Comment

Brown Ale
At this moment of 2013 in Minneapolis and elsewhere I’m sure, it seems that everybody is brewing beer and I’m no exception.  About this time last summer, I got the bug.  I don’t why I didn’t start earlier. It’s much easier than it sounds and you probably already have most what you need ( stock pots, strainers, thermometer, scale,  stove, a cool basement) .

If your looking for some books on how to brew beer, check out the following:
