Of the Crafting of Brown Barbazu Ale
January 3rd, 2010
The color of the finished wort
I use the name Studious Dwarf as my brewing name. And I do this because I feel like it does a fine job of capturing my thoughts and persona as it relates to brewing: A brewer should be attentive to details, clean, organized, and precise. I feel that this is well reflected in the modern mythology of dwarves. So I use the name. Today I made my 2nd ever batch of beer, which I am entitling Brown Barbazu Ale. Barbazu is the name of a D&D monster, a bearded devil. This is fun. 
My previous beer (which came out really well) was called Red Kobold Hunting Ale, and is a red, light ale. This current batch will be more bitter, with hoppy bites to it.
