Dizzy Lizard

Thanks to a discussion in the car last night while going to the liquor store, Ratri and I came up with this name. It has nothing to do with a the bar on Long Island or the band, but really does fit with all of the ideas that are going into the various products of my brewing efforts. -Morrigu

UC South pico brew

My Dad used to brew beer when I was growing up, and I have fond memories of the stuff. His style was a sweet, dark ale, but I'm much more into bitter ambers. Even so, he's given me his old brewing journal, and bought me a setup so I can start brewing. I'll list the details of each batch to mirror what I'm keeping in the journal. I still need a name for my beer. Any suggestions should go on the discussion page.

Mead? Really?

I'm now thinking I'd like to try my hand at mead as well. I know a bunch of people who make it, but have had very few that I really liked. From reading recipes I've found online and the results thereof, I'm thinking that a lot of people who make mead don't understand how yeast and fermentation work. I'll give it a shot and see if I can make something tasty.
