Bay 5 Brewing: February 2014
http://www.bay5brewing.com/2014_02_01_archive.html
Friday, February 28, 2014. Rhea and Cronus would be proud. I somehow accidentally saved this review as a draft instead of publishing it. Oops. Is from Great Lakes Brewery. And is one of their limited Tank Ten Series. I've always enjoyed the tank ten series and this one is no exception. If you're not familiar with the Tank Ten series, here's what GLB has to say. Beard of Zeus is the first beer I've seen that has a "best after. It's a barrel-aged barley wine that clocks in at a whopping 13% ABV. Old Tomorr...

Bay 5 Brewing: Home brewing update
http://www.bay5brewing.com/2014/06/home-brewing-update.html
Wednesday, June 18, 2014. I started my third batch of Festa Brew West Coast IPA a week and a half ago. It used to sell as a season at Defalco's but has since become regular stock, apparently. I like that. No, I love that. :). Last month (or was it two months ago? I made, and consumed, a Festa Brew Mexican Cerveza. It was pretty good, and very easy drinking. It sure made my basement stink in the early stages of fermentation. I still haven't begun my first "boiled" brew. The Brewer's Best. Hops - Day 42.

Bay 5 Brewing: January 2014
http://www.bay5brewing.com/2014_01_01_archive.html
Thursday, January 30, 2014. I first heard about Trooper. Ale (the "Iron Maiden" beer by Robinson's Brewery. Last March and was looking forward to trying it. In October, it arrived at the LCBO. But the shipments were pretty thin, and virtually non-existent around Ottawa, and soon dried up. 9 of the 10 soldiers :). I am happy to say, it did not disappoint me. I still have three bottles left and stock around Ottawa is once again pretty non-existent. I hope it returns again. Friday, January 24, 2014. It pour...

Bay 5 Brewing: FastFerment
http://www.bay5brewing.com/2014/10/fastferment.html
Sunday, October 26, 2014. I ordered a FastFerment. During their pre-order special and it finally arrived this past week! They were kind enough to include an extra collection ball with the initial kit. I think it was to make up for some delays they had with the design. A couple of months after my order, they offered an accessories kit that included a stand, carrying strap, temperature gauge, and another collection ball, which I added to my order. This photo might be a little misleading, as it sits beside ...

Bay 5 Brewing: December 2013
http://www.bay5brewing.com/2013_12_01_archive.html
Monday, December 16, 2013. A beery good weekend. I suck at puns. I picked up a whole whack of beers on Friday. Unfortunately for this blog, I spent more time enjoying them than taking notes for review. So, in keeping with the blog theme of "half-assed" reviews. here we go! Kentucky Bastard Imperial Stout - Nickel Brook. Black Magic Woman - Hornbeer. Another stout for the evening, and another 10% ABV. A couple of others that I picked up, but didn't keep notes on were. Thursday, December 12, 2013. Has foun...

Bay 5 Brewing: The bine that refused to die
http://www.bay5brewing.com/2014/10/the-bine-that-refused-to-die.html
Sunday, October 26, 2014. The bine that refused to die. Today is bitter sweet. I harvested the last of the hops cones, and then cut the bine down. Back in June when the plants got ill, from an apparent "Hops Mosaic Virus", I never imagined that I would be harvesting cones this month. When August came and went, with virtually no signs of flowers, despite the fact that the bines continued to thrive high above, I had pretty much given up hope. Final photo before last harvest. What to do with the harvest?
