brewing log (probably dry and boring to almost everyone) in the files
themselves.</p>
+<p>I'm only bothering to list recipes that have been brewed and bottled
+here—information on anything in the pipeline is at the <a href="http://wiki.calefaction.org/HomeBrewing">brewing wiki</a>
+since it is liable to change a lot.</p>
+
+<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 is no longer actively maintained and 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>
+is I've switched over to that. Meaning my newer recipes are in <a href="http://beerxml.com">BeerXML</a>
+that theoretically can be imported into other programs, but may very
+well only work in Brewtarget.</p>

<h3><a name="sec3" id="sec3"></a>
-Fermenting or Conditioning Currently (When I Wrote this at Least)</h3>
+English IPA</h3>
+
+<p class="first">We had a lot of leftover ingredients after
+<a href="http://pursuing.calefaction.org/2011/11/the-things-i-do-for-love/">Steve's amazing brewing Odyssey</a>, most of them English grains and
+hops. As such I threw together the leftovers into what seemed like it
+would be a good approximation of an English IPA. We even threw this
+onto the yeast cake of the last batch in the wedding brews (an ESB).</p>
+
+<p>Unfortunately, it was a wee bit underwhemling. Since we have a fancy
+temperature controlled fridge now, I decided to brew around 68F (no
+risk of overshooting). It came out slightly musty and generally
+bland... still, for being made from leftovers it's alright.</p>
+
+<ul>
+<li><a href="beer-recipes/8-English%20IPA/english_ipa-8_a.html">Batch A</a> 2011-10-16 (<a href="beer-recipes/8-English%20IPA/english_ipa-8_a.xml">source</a>)</li>
+</ul>
+
+
+<h3><a name="sec4" id="sec4"></a>
+Cernunnos (Ginger-Chamomile Wheat Ale)</h3>
-<h4><a name="sec4" id="sec4"></a>
-Foreign Extra Stout (If You Bend a Bit)</h4>
+<p class="first">Cheap and quick to make, this is ready to drink after a quick
+fermentation and as soon as the bottles carbonate. The chamomile
+really shines here adding a honey-like note; the ginger adds
+additional earthiness and a bit of zing; Sorachi Ace hops finish
+everything up with notes of lemon cream.</p>
+
+<ul>
+<li><a href="beer-recipes/7-Ginger%20Chamomile%20Wheat/ginger_chamomile_wheat-7_a.html">Batch A 2011-05-04</a> (<a href="beer-recipes/7-Ginger%20Chamomile%20Wheat/ginger_chamomile_wheat-7_a.xml">source</a>)</li>

+about a gallon, but what can you do.</li>
+</ul>
+
+
+<h3><a name="sec5" id="sec5"></a>
+Nowruz (India Pale Ale)</h3>
+
+<p class="first">Perhaps my finest recipe to date. A suggestion to continuously hop was
+heeded and the result was incredible.</p>
+
+<ul>
+<li><a href="beer-recipes/4-India%20Pale%20Ale/india_pale_ale-4_a.html">Batch A</a> 2011-03-20 (<a href="beer-recipes/4-India%20Pale%20Ale/india_pale_ale-4_a.xml">source</a>)</li>
+<li><a href="beer-recipes/4-India%20Pale%20Ale/india_pale_ale-4_b.html">Batch B</a> 2011-06-11 (<a href="beer-recipes/4-India%20Pale%20Ale/india_pale_ale-4_b.xml">source</a>) This adds Centennial and expanded the
+dry hopping a bit — the Centennial was out of place, and the extra
+dry hopping overpowered the fruity notes present in Batch A. But
+the extra bitterness and attenuation definitely improved things.</li>
+<li><a href="beer-recipes/4-India%20Pale%20Ale/india_pale_ale-4_c.html">Batch C</a> 2012-01-11 (<a href="beer-recipes/4-India%20Pale%20Ale/india_pale_ale-4_c.xml">source</a>) Back to the basics, but adding Citra to
+the boil and using Chico Yeast. First impressions are: even better
+than Batch A!</li>
+<li><a href="beer-recipes/4-India%20Pale%20Ale/india_pale_ale-4_d.html">Batch D</a> 2012-05-06 (<a href="beer-recipes/4-India%20Pale%20Ale/india_pale_ale-4_d.xml">source</a>) Ten gallons, half on US ale yeast, half
+on Wyeast <a href="http://www.wyeastlab.com/rw_yeaststrain_detail.cfm?ID=136">Belgian Ardennes</a> yeast. Initial impressions are that the
+Belgian version is amazing: the fruit flavors and phenols from the
+yeast complement the hopping quite nicely.</li>

+<p class="first">My girlfriend hates carbonation and so, inspired by Edwort's
+Applewine, I started experimenting with batches of cider. I'm keeping
