NotesWe can learn several crucial lessons from this diverse, creative group, and that understanding will allow us to encourage innovation. For some, the main impetus for DIY is that it provides an outlet from their daily grind: Many employees suffer the life of the cubicle-bound "knowledge worker." In his best-selling Shop Class As Soulcraft, Matthew Crawford argues that the elimination of industrial arts and home economics classes from public school curricula has left us dependent on machines that we donât understand and frustrated by the outsourcing and off-shoring of production. We also derive little satisfaction from what we âproduceâ at work. Weâve become a nation of shoppers and consumers. DIY is a way to engage the physical things around us and create durable (and drinkable) objects. Based on informal conversations with other DIYers, some of these motivations include self-reliance, community-building, autonomy, independence from monopolies, an alternative to rampant consumerism, innate curiosity, and the desire to make something cool.FeedUnfurl
NotesWhenever Joe makes homebrew, I whip up some spent grain bread. All the recipes I found on the internet treated the spent grain as a sort of add-on ingredient, the way you would treat cheese or raisins. I wanted it to be the main partâit is grain, after all. Thatâs what bread is. So after some tweaking (there will be endless tweaking, of course), I have come up with my own version:Unfurl
NotesItâs a shame to toss all those delicious-smelling grains that you carefully chose to make a delicious brew. Some people compost them, although some people have had bad experiences with how that turns out in the compost pile. Clearly the only sensible thing to do is eat them and all the protein and fiber goodness they have to offer. If youâre not ready to use them all (and how could you?!) as soon as the brew leaves the stove, you can refrigerate them for a day or two or freeze them for longer. And if you havenât tried homebrewing yet, this is just a bonus reason. It also means you can share your brew with your kids, since this is before the alcohol enters the picture. If youâre feeling really industrious, you can work in a science lesson about yeast and fermentation!EmbedUnfurl
NotesThere have been discussions on this before, but they mostly come down to "I think it will...." or "It probably won't...". Who has actually tried it, how did it work, and how did you add it (Do you add it to the starter or wort, and if you add it to the starter do you aerate the wort)? I want to hear first hand experiences rather than just theories.EmbedUnfurl
NotesOnce a year I like to take a day to go through all my homebrewing gear and make sure everything is clean and working right. It feels good to go into a deep-cleaning mode from time to time to make sure you're not picking up off flavors from your kettle or worseâinfections from equipment that should have been discarded.

Notes Sour beer: It sounds like something worth spilling out, and not crying over. In fact, sour beer has enthralled many American craft brewers, who, like the one I visited, are turning out fascinating brews that will challenge many peopleâs expectations of what a beer can be. Unfurl
NotesWinter Warmer ales are like gingerbread and cognac wrapped up in a beer. Start with a good-tasting beer foundation, add some spice on top, and finish with some alcoholic warmth. This recipe clocks in at around 8.7% ABV.FeedUnfurl
Notes"I've been reading The Homebrewer's Garden to gather some information about taking care of the hops I'm growing in my backyard. The final section of the book is a cornucopia of interesting herb, fruit, and vegetable beer recipes. One in particular titled "Chili Beer" caught my eye. I love spicy food and I've always thought of brewing a spicy pepper beer like a Jalapeno Pilsener, so I picked up all the ingredients and brewed this yesterday. Its an extract recipe which was a nice change of pace after my last few all grain brews. Because it is an interesting kind of exploratory/experiment of a beer I scaled the 5 gallon recipe down to 3 gallons. Honey, home toasted malt, and chili peppers should make this one interesting."Unfurl
Notes"Last yearâs Winter Spiced ale was a big success. Not only did the Irish Ale yeast surprise and amaze me by creating a beer around 15%abv, but they also survived some harsh treatment in a nutrient-poor environment, to produce a great beer for me and my friends! This year I refined the recipe a bit, made some changes, and will produce a beer that is hopefully a bit more herbal, slightly lighter in flavor but also will have more depth of flavor, versus last yearâs smack-you-in-the-face winter warmer!"Unfurl
Notes"In the summer, wheat beers are probably one of the most popular brews to start with. This recipe is about as easy as it gets. The beauty of doing a good wheat is that quality results lie in your process, not so much in your recipe."Unfurl
Notes"If someone took the time to draw out all the connections between craft brewers in the Ann Arbor and Ypsilanti area, it might look like the incestuous family tree the back country people in Deliverance scrawled in their family bible. But even the most seasoned beer connoisseur probably wouldn't be able to taste those connections while sampling a pint from one of the many local brewpubs and microbreweries. "Unfurl

Notes"Beer bottles are often used in physical disputes. If the bottles break, they may give rise to sharp trauma. However, if the bottles remain intact, they may cause blunt injuries. In order to investigate whether full or empty standard half-litre beer bottles are sturdier and if the necessary breaking energy surpasses the minimum fracture-threshold of the human skull, we tested the fracture properties of such beer bottles in a drop-tower."Unfurl
Notes"I'm wanting to brew up a holiday spiced ale, but not in the typical "winter warmer" style. I'd like to use my Brown Ale as a base, and add orange peel, corriander, ginger and cinnamon in small amounts. I don't want to overpower the brown ale base, but have a decent amount of aroma and flavor from the spices. Here's what I'm thinking, please take a look and let me know what you think:

Notes"As a homebrewer who also happens to be obsessed with coffee, I found that too many of the coffee or espresso flavored stout recipes I found seemed to consider coffee more of an afterthought than an important factor in the success of the beverage. I have always found it odd that brewers would take so much time to pick out just the right hops, yeast and perfect water chemistry, only to say something so general as, "Add a pound of cracked coffee to the brew pot." Lightly cracking coffee is supposed to compensate for the longer extraction time in the brew, but overextracted coffee is as undesirable in the beer as it would be on its own. Some homebrewer recipes even go as far as advising instant coffee as an ingredient. This is intolerable advice. Over a few years, I have tried several methods, and the one I most enjoyed is the one that I am about to share. "Unfurl
Notes"Adventures in Homebrewing offers a full line of home brew recipe kits designed with BEER in mind. Often, homebrew kits are designed to stay in an acceptable price range. How can a cream ale cost the same as an IPA...It cannot. We do not allow the price of our brews to influence ingredients, the ingredients influence our brews. After one batch, you will see the light!"Unfurl

Notes"This Dos Equis campaign features wonderful visual details. The production team clearly took glee in meshing vintage film stocks with unexpected locations and absurd endeavors. My favorite moment is the sight of our tuxedoed hero leading a moonlight expedition through a rocky canyonâflanked by elegant women in evening gowns, a military officer in full dress regalia, and a slightly befuddled fellow wearing a fez. We're left to guess at the precise combination of events that led to this scenario. I like to imagine it's an impromptu escape from a hijacked ocean liner."Unfurl
Notes"As you probably know, Detroitâs industry is not doing so well, but a growing wave of entrepreneurs and freelancers have been given cause to fill the gap. While working from a home office has many benefits, sometimes people who work alone all day start to go a little nuts. Even though we are more connected than weâve ever been, itâs easy to feel lonely without other people present. I was introduced to the concept of co-working by my friend Naoko McCracken and I immediately recognized that this was something that was missing from my life. Iâve been working alone from home for almost a year now and my only companion is my whining, socially inept dog. I realized that when I started talking to myself a few months ago, something needed to change."Unfurl

NotesSweet merciful crap do I love this beer. "The stout, loaded with coffee and chocolate and aged in oak bourbon barrels, is available in four packs ($20).
