		<title>Hop crop 2010</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Ella and I harvested this year&#8217;s hop crop from the Centennial plant and I estimate the harvest was at least 5 times what it was last year. This is good news. I can&#8217;t find my scale, so I have no idea what the final weight was, but volume-wise, it was about half-a gallon. The cones [...]]]></description>

		<title>Hiatus: terminating</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I am a little shamed to admit I&#8217;ve not brewed since I did a fresh-hop ale back in October of 2009. Thesis work, kids, renovations, sloth, and guilt all got in the way. But tomorrow morning I&#8217;ll be brewing a Cascadian Dark Ale, which I&#8217;ve not yet &#8220;officially&#8221; tried. I&#8217;ve brewed a few browns and stouts [...]]]></description>

		<title>Thank you Oregon Craft Beer Month</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I love Oregon&#8217;s Craft Beer Month, but this year I was a little busy and missed both the North American Organic Brewers Festival and the OBF. I was able to get in on one night of Saraveza&#8217;s IPA festival (great), visited Terminal Gravity&#8217;s Pub,  and managed to score a few delicious pints around town, but [...]]]></description>

		<title>Beer in Chicago</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Last week I had the good fortune to visit Chicago for work and was able to venture out and sample some local beers. I arrived late Sunday night and had a Two Brothers Domaine DuPage, a deliciously carmel amber ale with my dinner. But it was late so I settled for that introduction. The next [...]]]></description>

		<title>Beer Stimulus Bill</title>
		<description><![CDATA[There&#8217;s some proposed legislation dubbed the &#8220;beer stimulus bill&#8221; would give tax breaks to craft breweries. This is a boutique bill, but the economic ramifications are very real to Oregon brewers. Linds pointed me towards a Eugene TV report on the matter that features my buddy Joe raking spent grain out of a mash tun.]]></description>

		<title>Analysis of hop pellet glumpiness</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Hop Merchant Indie Hops has a blog posting about a recent pellet evaluation by Chad Kennedy of Laurelwood. It&#8217;s more of a press release about how awesome their pellets are, but it&#8217;s still an interesting read. Hopefully all hop processers take note of Chad&#8217;s quote: The gold standard for dry hopping is the whole cone.. [...]]]></description>

		<title>Rager formula back online</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The Rager IBU calculator was giving  incorrect info, and was failing to adjust the hop utilization based on changes in wort gravity. Thanks to Arpit for catching that. I&#8217;ve fixed the variable call and it now shows changes in hop utilization when the gravity is above 1.050.]]></description>

		<title>For the low, low price&#8230;</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The gregarious and entertaining Jonathan Baker at Monday Night Brewery sent me a note that he&#8217;d been contacted by a domain squater to see if he would like to by my old rooftopbrew.com domain. The e-mail made me laugh since the domain has both been dormant and increasing in value since Dotster tried to extort [...]]]></description>

		<title>A lucky for NoPo</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I was reading through the last print copy of The Sentinel, a North Portland paper, while waiting to see if I was goin to be placed on a jury this morning. I was trying to listen for my name when the words &#8220;Lucky Lab&#8221; caught my attention. Looks like the Lucky Lab bought the building [...]]]></description>
