Hello all! This blog is going to be devoted to recounting my experiences while homebrewing. I will comment on recipes and techniques, describe equipment that I've built, and generally detail my opinions on beer, from its production to its consumption.
I've only recently gotten involved in the homebrew scene, and am still very much learning as I go. My first few recipes will therefore be extract-based, though I may eventually adopt them to an all-grain version. In fact, I'm (hopefully) building a mash/lauter tun in just a few days. I would very much appreciate not just comments, but any advice or criticism that brewers far wiser than I can offer on any topics that they would care to chime in on.
A note on the name. Since brewing is more fun when you have your own label, I've named my paltry operation the Skowyra Zythespary. Skowyra (pronounced Sko-vir-ra, for what it's worth) is my last name. Zythespary is the most awesome synonym for brewery, ever. The names and labels of all beers appearing here follow a patent medicine theme, as does my logo. Why? Well, because I like wearing a labcoat, enjoy SCIENCE, have no actual medical or pharmacological experience, and have an unhealthy obsession with old timey stuff. That notwithstanding, a rather wonderful girl by the name of Victoria (blog linked below) is not only entirely responsible for the idea, but is also a continuing source of creative inspiration for both label names and overall design.
And with that, on to the rest of the blog!
