First shot at a double decoction mash · 15 March 2009, 20:24
A couple weeks back I tried a decoction mash for the first time. It was a interesting to say the least. I started about 2pm and finished after midnight. A little miscalculation cost me a couple hours!
It was worth the effort. I learned a lot. This doppelbock better be damn good!

Let's brew: racking to the secondary · 3 March 2009, 07:55
It has been a couple weeks since we brewed our all-grain red rye, and it’s about time we transfer (aka ‘rack’) the brew from the primary fermentor to the secondary. Compared to the mashing and boiling we did last article, this should be a breeze.
This is not a required step in the brewing process, but it it worth the extra effort.

Let's brew: all grain demo · 19 February 2009, 22:06
I got into all grain brewing about 8 months ago, after about a half dozen batches of extract. I really like how you can fine tune the grain bill, and tweak times and temperatures of your mash to emphasize and alter certain characteristics of the grain.
People have this notion that all grain brewing is difficult. It’s not! It just takes some extra time and equipment.

Tinkering: 25 lines of branches · 17 January 2009, 09:40
If you haven’t heard, Keith Peters has breathed new life into the old 25 lines Actionscript Contest. The site has now just finished taking submissions for the 2nd contest (January 2009). I recommend getting involved in this contest, or at least seeing what you can do with 25 lines of code no matter what programming language you use. I re-worked my previous branching experiment and got it to fit in less than 25 lines, and was even able to add some simple 3D rotation stuff. Very cool. Anyway, here is what I submitted:
Its nice to throw coding conventions and scalability right out the window and just spend time prototyping and playing around.
