Brewer’s Journal – Twin Span Brewing

Heading West to the End of the World

February 10, 2023 / W3imprint

We’re finally releasing 80 West. That feels good to actually type. It’s been a trip with some interesting detours getting to this point. I wanted to open Twin Span with 80 West almost 2 years ago. I had all the material, the grain was milled and in the

Hop Harvest

February 10, 2023 / W3imprint

A single hop bine in my backyard, years ago. There’s no arguing that we’re all a bit hop mad these days. We’re in the midst of a hops arms race, with brewers cramming in as many hops as their tanks can handle, making bigger and bolder aromatics with each turn,

Beer Vacation / Research

February 10, 2023 / W3imprint

A short-ish post today just to reassure you all that I’m still alive and well. We’re distributing now! Couple that with the general increase in traffic during summer and I’ve been bizz-ay brewing. But I did get an opportunity to do something I haven’t done in over 2 years: travel

Full Beer Immersion

February 10, 2023 / W3imprint

I hang around in a couple Cicerone study groups online as I’m toying around with the idea of going for the next level certification, Advanced Cicerone, but also to help others out with their studying. In one of those groups, someone said they were just getting started studying for the

Mash Tun Time Machine

February 10, 2023 / W3imprint

This may surprise those that know me, but brewing is not my only hobby. But if I’m being honest, it sorta influences all of my other hobbies. I love to cook, but that’s close enough to brewing that it might not count. I regularly find ways to sneak beer into

Aw, shucks! Seaweed Blonde and Oyster Stout.

February 8, 2023 / Adam Ross

Updated: Feb 13, 2021 Have you ever heard of a Fish Bladder IPA or a Seaweed Blonde Ale? How about an Oyster Stout? You’ve likely never heard of the first two – for good reason – they sound disgusting. You very easily could have heard of the third one and

Hindsight is 2020 – Looking back and ahead

February 8, 2023 / Adam Ross

I’ve missed a year-end post by a few days, but better late than never. I’ll try not to get too sentimental. 2020 was a bit of a dumpster fire for the world and was for many people the worst year of their life. We’re all happy to see the year

“Do a barrel roll!” – an update

February 8, 2023 / Adam Ross

It’s been a minute since I last made a post here. These past few months in particular have been a whirlwind. This past weekend was the first time I hadn’t brewed since February. Oofda. Sounds like a good time to get you up to speed on what I’ve been working

The Nose Knows

February 8, 2023 / Adam Ross

The first time I smelled Brett(anomyces) in a beer, I instantly thought about my long-passed grandmother. That surprised me. She didn’t drink beer, at least not around me, and certainly not barrel aged beers. I dug into that memory a little deeper – what specifically about her was I thinking

For many, when they think of drinking in Germany, they think of long skinny tables surrounded by people crowded shoulder to shoulder drinking liter mugs of beer while wearing lederhosen or dirndls. That kind of thing absolutely exists – for a couple weeks each year. The rest of the year,

I started brewing out of spite

February 8, 2023 / Adam Ross

No, really. It was one of those moments where I was challenged and my response was “Oh yeah?? I’ll show you!” In other words, this post is about my brewing history. To wind the clock way back, when I was 7 years old I had an uncle hand me a

The first of many words about beer

February 8, 2023 / Adam Ross

Beer will save the world – if we allow it to. I truly believe that. There’s a mildly interesting story behind how I came to that revelation that I’ll share with you sometime over a few beers. Until then, you’ll have to just take my word on it. I have

Ten Forty
