Cerveceria Dos Aves Wins Gold!

As a professional brewery, Dos Aves entered five classic styles of beer in the 2013 Mexican brewers competition held in Mexico City. Out of the five we didn't place in any except for our English barley wine. That one brought home the gold.



Entering this competition was a little expensive for me but at least we got something out of it. A plaque representing a superior product and some accolades from the brewing community. If this business continues to be successful, next year I could see us with a booth at the event and rubbing elbows with Mexico's better craft brewers. We'll see.

P.S. Thanks to all of those people that recently contributed financially.

Top Three Priorities For Homebrew Success

From the very first day that I took my initial tentative steps down the homebrewing path I've been cautioned repeatedly about the importance of sanitation. Whether it came from the opening chapters of brew books, leaders in the homebrewing association or from well intentioned homebrewers, the message has always been the same, " be very afraid of infection " . Sure, relax and don't worry except when it comes to sanitation. This fear runs deep in the homebrewing community and definitely deserves serious consideration especially if you're in the habit of producing spoiled beer, but I'm not that concerned about it and because of my take it with a pinch of salt  attitude, I feel that my enjoyment of the hobby is that much more satisfying. For the sake of all those just beginning their personal home brewing journey, I'm here to help take the edge off of your sanitation fears. I have discovered through the course of many years of homebrewing experienc...

Bottle In A Bag

Improvising with Style: A Homebrew Hack Worth Keeping  I ran into a bit of a special needs situation last week, and figured it was worth sharing—not for sympathy, but because this is what I love about homebrewing. No matter how many batches you’ve clocked, something will always go sideways. A missing part, a busted seal, or in this case a completely disgusting bottling bucket. The unexpected shows up, uninvited, and dares you to stay creative. So here's the scene, I'm in my element puttering around the brew cave and I'm needing to bottle a batch of porter. Easy enough—except the only bottling buckets I had looked like they’d been dragged through a gravel lot and left to soak in dirty dishwater for a few years. Discolored, scratched to hell, and definitely not the sterile environment you’d want for your pristine, freshly fermented beer. Unless, of course, you're into doctoring your brew with unknown bacteria strains and suggesting that it's a Belgian such or such....
