I like to have a printed calendar on my fridge. Obviously this is going to be outdated soon but it’s accurate as of today, May 24th, 2021. Here’s a PDF version too.

Printable F1 2021 Calendar
I could not find a simple printable calendar for the F1 2021 season, so I made one. Here’s an image preview as well as a downloadable PDF. Enjoy!
Plate Chiller for Robobrew (Brewzilla)
Robobrew (Brewzilla) comes with a solid immersion chiller. If you’re happy with it, then read no further. But if you’d like to make your life a little easier and enjoy your brew day a bit more, then I highly recommend a plate chiller. I won’t get into the details here of what makes a plate …

iSpindel Project – Post 2

Earl Dreams of IPA
When it comes to tasting beer, entirely too much emphasis is placed on the variety of hops used in the brew and in what volume those hops were used. About 5 years ago I had my very first Tree House Brewing Company beers. It was a Haze and I had never tasted anything like it. …
