		<title>Three Hearted Ale IPA- brew day</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Three Hearted Ale Quick Overview (from Norther Brewer)



Is this the river Hemingway was really writing about in &#8220;Big Two-Hearted River?&#8221; Did he change the name in the story, not to hide the presence of brook trout as big as his arm from other fishermen, but to hide the presence of this beer? Obviously.

		<title>Patersbier – secondary</title>
		<description><![CDATA[After 12 days I racked to secondary with a FG of 1.007. With my OG being 1.042 that will give this beer an ABV of 5.5%. A good session beer for the spring/summer I think. I did get the promised hints of citrus and pear with a bit of spicey notes. One unfortunate thing that [...]]]></description>

Patersbier Quick Overview (from Norther Brewer)

Stan Hieronymus (author of Brew Like a Monk) and Kristen England (BJCP Continuing Education Director) bring you this very special kit. &#8220;Brouwerij&#8217;ed&#8221; on the left side of the Belgian town Malle solely for consumption by the [...]]]></description>

		<title>Imperial Stout &amp; Belgian Dubbel &#8211; bottling</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I did some reading and agreed to some of it, that the primary benefit of doing secondary fermentation is to clear the bear of suspended matter. I absolutely believe that the beer matures and finds a more complex personality during secondary. However, the latter of these two things can happen while bottle conditioning.
That being said, [...]]]></description>

		<title>Belgian Dubbel &#8211; Secondary</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Today I racked to secondary. In my hydrometer sample, I tasted a bit of spice, some minor fruitiness but couldn&#8217;t put my finger on it. I&#8217;m relieved that it was a syrup-like as the Tripel that didn&#8217;t turn out quite right. Primary was held at 74 degrees. I&#8217;m letting it secondary at room temp which [...]]]></description>

		<title>Belgian Dubbel &#8211; brew day</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I told Kel to pick this next style from the Norther Brewer catalog. She is a fan of the Belgian styles and I haven&#8217;t done a dubbel, so we thought it would be a good brew to make. We&#8217;ve tried a some dubbels from the store in the past (Ommegang, Westmalle and Affligem), which we [...]]]></description>

		<title>Imperial Stout &#8211; secondary</title>
		<description><![CDATA[After some serious initial fermentation I&#8217;ve racked my Imperial Stout to a secondary fermenter. I think after this brew, I&#8217;ll purchase and use some Fermcap to reduce too much krausen and issues with excessive blow off.
My FG was 1.027. My OG was 1.081. I used this site to calculate my ABV and it gave me [...]]]></description>

		<title>Reusing yeast</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I read this from the following NB board post:
&#8220;When you are racking your beer from the primary fermentor to the secondary, is the time that you should be collecting the yeast. It’s easy to do it. Just sanitize a quart jar and lid, sanitize the neck of the primary fermentor, and pour from the fermentor [...]]]></description>

		<title>Imperial Stout &#8211; brew day and recipe</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;ve been wanting to brew this beer ever since I got my eyes on the Northern Brewer catalog. Here is there description:
&#8220;Imperial stouts were first brewed in England for export to the royal courts of the Russian Tsars. The Tsars are gone but the beer remains, the &#8220;War and Peace&#8221; of stouts. This kit yields [...]]]></description>

		<title>IPA &#8211; tasting</title>
		<description><![CDATA[My IPA was finished conditioning on November 17th. I gotta say I&#8217;m happy with how it turned out. A good beer.
Looks a bit more amber than I thought but I&#8217;ve read that extract kits tend to do that more often. It isn&#8217;t too dense, which I think was a good thing I think for an [...]]]></description>
