Tis the season...or is it? This is more for the southern folks that get winter temperatures in spurts of 3-4 days at a time. I have read several different places about tricks to keep fermenting devices cool,from submerging carboys in larger containers of water to even putting it in a river. I...

Kathie (and everyone else who wants to know) My holiday ale has been bottled and conditioned. I couldn't help but chill one and taste it the other night. It is very hoppy and you can really taste the orange and cinimon in it. I feel that the orange flavor somewhat potentiates the hopps but the...
