		<description><![CDATA[Well, it had to come to it. After a year&#8217;s worth of style exploration, barleywines and imperial stouts, it was time to take a crack at the baseline of American craft beer: the American Pale Ale. This style has been one that I&#8217;ve put off for a while, not because I don&#8217;t like it, but [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[With the arrival of summer in Maine, it was time to brew a hefeweizen. I used the Wyeast Weihenstephan Weizen strain, and did my best to ferment in the mid to low 60s. This was my second wheat this year, and this brew went much better than the last one, thanks to a lengthy protein [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[My last brew was a bit of an experiment. I had just finished reading Brewing with Wheat, and was gung-ho to do something using a significant amount of wheat. Summer is also nearly here, and the desire to drink big beers will be fading with the arrival of warmer temperatures. One of the beer styles [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[If you brew regularly, and especially if you like to use liquid yeast strains, you might want to consider reusing your yeast. As with everything in homebrewing, there is a long list of do&#8217;s and do-not&#8217;s, but in general, it&#8217;s pretty easy to decide if repitching on yeast will work for you. First of all, [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[This past weekend&#8217;s brew was an enjoyable one, if not a learning experience. Once again, I modified my recipe based on available ingredients. I wonder if there&#8217;s a niche for that? I had intended a brown, but the lack of crystal malt made me rethink my plans, and I ended up doing some kind of [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[This week I kegged a recent brew of mine, and gave force carbing a go. This resulted in a fully conditioned beer available 24 hours after racking it into a keg. There are many who disapprove of this conditioning process, but if you&#8217;re out of homebrew, it&#8217;s good to know that you have this option [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[It&#8217;s officially winter in New England. Last night, it was 3F outside. In addition to enjoying heavier homebrews, it&#8217;s also time to put away the wort chiller. Nature takes care of that for me now. I brewed an imperial stout last weekend, and it was a warm evening, around 38F outside. When my boil was [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[We&#8217;re closing in on December, and I&#8217;ve put my brewing rig through a pretty rigorous testing period so far this year. I&#8217;ve made some minor adjustments, but all-in-all, I&#8217;m quite happy with what I&#8217;ve got after a minimal investment. After my second all grain batch, I wrote about my dual 7-Gallon bucket sparge system, aka [...]]]></description>

Check out how fast the airlock is rocking it, with only about 1/2 inch of krausen! I called home this afternoon to find out that the krausen was up to the neck of the carboy, [...]]]></description>

Thankfully I had an assistant today, or it would have been very slow work. I used my small pot to move [...]]]></description>
