  61 <!-- Page published by Emacs Muse begins here --><p>Once upon a time I brewed beer. Then I lost access to my roommate's
  62 kettle owing to moving three hundred miles, and there was much sadness
  63 for my poor kit lacked all but this very expensive kettle. A new
  64 kettle has finally fallen into my hands, and so beer may be brewed
  65 again.</p>
  66
  67 <h2><a name="sec1" id="sec1"></a>
  68 Current Activity</h2>
  69
  70 <p class="first">I started brewing again with a few friends (makes it much easier to
  71 actually get around to doing it when you have help). Since multiple
  72 people are involved we are using <a href="http://wiki.calefaction.org/HomeBrewing">a wiki</a> to collaborate. This poor page
  73 will probably remain dusty because I can just put things there
  74 instead.</p>
  75
  76
  77 <h2><a name="sec2" id="sec2"></a>
  78 More Recent Brews</h2>
  79
  80 <p class="first">I decided to at least make a stab at being unlazy and actually linking
  81 to the files that are stored with the website. I keep a reasonable
  82 brewing log (probably dry and boring to almost everyone) in the files
  83 themselves.</p>
  84
  85 <p>I'm only bothering to list recipes that have been brewed and bottled
  86 here&mdash;information on anything in the pipeline is at the <a href="http://wiki.calefaction.org/HomeBrewing">brewing wiki</a>
  87 since it is liable to change a lot.</p>
  88
  89 <p>Since old trusty <a href="http://www.usermode.org/code.html">QBrew</a> is no longer actively maintained and <a href="http://brewtarget.sourceforge.net/">Brewtarget</a>
  90 is I've switched over to that. Meaning my newer recipes are in <a href="http://beerxml.com">BeerXML</a>
  91 that theoretically can be imported into other programs, but may very
  92 well only work in Brewtarget.</p>
  93
  94 <h3><a name="sec3" id="sec3"></a>
  95 Ginger-Chamomile Wheat Ale</h3>
  96
  97 <p class="first">Cheap and quick to make this is ready to drink after a mere 11 days
  98 fermentation and another five or six carbonating.</p>

 105 <h3><a name="sec4" id="sec4"></a>
 106 Nowruz (India Pale Ale)</h3>
 107
 108 <p class="first">Perhaps my finest recipe to date. A suggestion to continuously hop was
 109 heeded and the result was incredible.</p>

 118 Thoth (Foreign Extra Stout If You Bend a Bit)</h3>
 119
 120 <p class="first">An attempt at experimentation&mdash;an adjunct (blackstrap molasses), a
 121 spice (star anise), and a reused yeast cake (Ringwood from a
