Salt Brine for Corned Beef and Pastrami

Making your own corned beef or pastrami is a lot easier than you might think, and much less expensive that store bought. Plan ahead and make it yourself for a real treat.

Brine Ingredients:
1 gallon water
2 cups kosher salt (or 5 tablespoons Morton Tender Quick for the pretty pink cured color)
1/2 cup brown sugar
3 cloves garlic, crushed
2 tablespoons pickling spices
4 bay leaves

Homebrewer's Off Flavors Tasting Class

Astringent, Diacetyl, DMS, Skunky - you may have heard of beers described like this but what does it mean? What does it taste like? where does it come from?

Join Sograte Brew School for our off flavor tasting class, lead by award winning brewer Jerry Elliott, as we taste and discuss these terms/flavors and more. The Off Flavor Tasting will allow you to connect these strange terms with their respective flavors and the common possible causes for them.

Basic Brewing Video: Doctoring Mr. Beer

I have had a lot of people coming through the store this month that got Mr Beer kits for Christmas and are looking for ideas and ingredients to step it up. Mr Beer is a pretty rudimentary kit that features a 2 gallon fermentor and includes a hopped malt extract, booster, dry brewing yeast and a no-rinse cleanser. This simple little kit has introduced countless people into the world of homebrewing, and many have even progressed into professional brewing.
