British Bitter

Maybe it's genetic. As much as I enjoy a good German lager, a Czech pils, or a Belgian abbey beer, nothing tugs at my heart like a good British bitter. I figure it's the blood of all those working-class Nottingham souls calling for their "pint of bitter."

Adding Body

How do I add body to my stout? My stout has good aroma and flavor but it seems thin. Is there a way to add more body to it?


A The old thin-bodied stout is definitely one of the more frustrating flaws for this particular style. From what I have observed, this flaw is often associated with stouts that are brewed in an attempt to mimic the famed dry stouts of Ireland like Guinness, Murphy's and Beamish. These draught stouts all are dispensed using nitrogen and much of the body is directly related to the method of dispense. Take away the nitrogen dispense methods and the result is a thinner-bodied dark ale with the alcohol content of a light lager.

From Brew Pot to Brew Kettle: Projects

One of the great things about building your own homebrewing equipment is that you can convert a piece of equipment that you already have into something you find more useful — for example, if you have an extra brewpot, but you could actually use a kettle, you can follow a few simple steps and have the equipment you need, which is great if you don't want to spend money on something brand new.

Love What You Do: Stop worrying and enjoy the brew

One of the hardest lessons a hardcore homebrewer has to learn is that homebrewing should be an enjoyable pastime. There are so many things to learn and stress over that sometimes the prime directive gets lost. We're making beer; in our kitchens, garages, sheds — we're not launching a rocket into space on a mission to expand human consciousness (or save us from an alien species we've inadvertently maddened).

Beer Clarification Advice

What is your preferred method of clarifying beer, including removing chill haze? I've tried finings (isinglass, silica-based, and gelatin), and filtering down to 1 micron but never had results as good as just leaving the beer chilled for a month or two.

DIY Draft Trunk Lines: When you want to run long draft lines

Like many homebrewers who keg their beers, I started out serving from a chest freezer with a two-tap beer tower bolted to its lid. When the compressor on the freezer died I decided it was time to increase the number of taps so that I could pour more beer styles simultaneously. This led to a choice: I could either go with a collar keezer, keeping the freezer, kegs, and taps in my brewery, or I could build a bar in the finished part of the basement, but I would have to keep the freezer and kegs in the brewery. I decided it was time to build a bar.
