New England Brewing’s canned nightmare—pun aside, it’s actually OK

New England Brewing’s canned nightmare—pun aside, it’s actually OK
I got a new job last week so I had to switch LHBS. I stopped by friday night after work to buy the ingredients for the Belgian Wit I was going to brew. The next morning after I poured the grains into the mashtun I noticed things moving inside the plastic bag the grain was in. There were several little bugs wiggling inside. I look inside my mashtun and sure enough there are the rest of them trying to crawl underneath the grain. They looked like ants but with flat bodies. I said, “WTF!!!!???”, called the LHBS and told them what happened. The guy on the other line goes, “Oh heh, don’t worry about them it won’t affect your beer. We do what we can to keep them out of the grain but they always seem to get in there. If it really bothers you, you can come back in and we’ll give you a free pound of grain.” I didn’t feel like making a huge deal out of it so I said no thanks and decided never to buy grain from them. Yes he was right it probably wouldn’t affect my beer but I’m very big on cleanliness and maintaining the best standards of quality in all my homebrewing ingredients. Using grain that’s been the home to insects is just really unappealing to me. Have you guys experienced this? Am I overreacting?
The theme of this show is rather simple. We drank all the Chimay we could get our hands on. We also had the pleasure of being joined by “Everything Now!“, one of my favorite groups. They just released a new album called “Bible Universe”. Info at their website. Thanks, Crafty.

Ooooh yeah, there’s some mystery ass in the hot tub, Steamboat Springs, CO. The Flying Dog crew rides the winnebago down from the pass in a blizzard, Danada pees, Rippe gets us lost and walks into the wrong house…an impromptu party in the driveway. beer and cigarrettes were served. Fuck! Whose ass is that in the hot tub?
The People’s Republic of Flying Dog,
Apparently we need to put down the beers and the bong and pay more attention to what the hell we are doing. As many of you have been getting emails bounced back to our recent contest we found a problem with our bullshit@flyingdogales.com email address. Apparently this has been an […]
First in what’s going to be a series of funky beers for me (and the re-introduction of fermentation in my bedroom, much to the chagrin of my girlfriend). Inspired by Russian River’s Temptation Ale is Tempting Fate.
The basic is a Belgian Blonde ale fermented normally and then aged in secondary with oak cubes soaked in chardonnay and two varieties of Brett. My real concern is about timing the Brett and the oak just right to get an appropriate level of exposure. What would ya’ll recommend?
For the beer, 5.5 gallons at ~1.054, 20 IBUs, 4 SRM
10lbs Belgian Pilsner Malt
0.25lb Aromatic Malt
0.25lb Belgian Crystal 8L
1.25 oz Styrian Goldings Pellets for 60 minutes
Fermented with Wyeast 1214
Transfer to secondary on 2 oz of French Oak Cubes soaked in Two Buck Chuck Chardonnay for 2 months and a dose of sugar syrup and Brett Clausenii and Brett Lambicus. Age until it tastes right, then keg and cellar for a healthy period.
The beer was brewed last night! Everything should be cool. But like I said, I’m worried about the timing of the Brett and Oak.
The People’s Republic of Flying Dog is now in session.
It’s happy hour at Flying Dog Brewery, so here is your latest dose of irreverence. Last newsletter, we asked for 500 votes in our beer poll and you guys stepped up and barely creeped across the finish line with 544. Being the man of my word […]
Into the brewhouse. Head Brewer Matt Brophy and Prez Eric Warner continue on the process of brewing Flying Dog ales. Grain case, mash tun and whirlpool explained. Bubbling Fermentation, a pull off the pigtail, and a close look at the resin-y goodness of hops. Hold on! Can you really smoke that stuff? Let us know…bullshit@flyingdogales.com
Head Brewer Matt Brophy and Prez Eric Warner talk about grain, malts, milling and the first steps in brewing Flying Dog ales. What makes one beer lighter than another? What’s a specialty malt? Why does it taste like Grape Nuts? And besides holding grain, what else are grain bags good for? Find out who shags on grain bags at www.squidoo.com/flyingdogales.
We start the tour of Belgian Style Ales with the Blonde or Golden Ale.
