A batch of “My Odd Monk Ale” was ready to bottle on Wednesday
28 March. I have a Brew Journal to help me track the relevant dates on my brews.
I write down the ingredients I add, the cooking times, dates that I start
fermentation, dates I bottle, and tasting notes. It helps me know which beers
were great and which ones to never make again. I also hope it will help me
track any mistakes I make.

Back to Brewing!
I started home brewing my own beer back when I was in the
Army. I got a few odd looks from my 1st Sergeant during the barracks
inspections, but I wasn’t doing anything illegal so he let me continue, especially
after I let him try a few during the barracks parties. I stopped brewing for a
few years after I was sent to Korea and then PCS’d back to the states. I dusted
off my MrBeer keg and started brewing again a few years ago but stopped again
after I moved apartments a few times. Now that I have bought my house and don’t
plan on moving again anytime soon I decided to start brewing again. I have made
a few batches recently and been very pleased with the results.
