White Tail Rye

By Anonymous -
A hopped-up Rye Pale Ale.  Plenty of citrus notes from the Cascades, and complex earthy flavors from the Rye.  Good refreshing finish, leaving the mouth wanting more.

  • 9.0 lb American 2-row 
  • 1.0 lb Vienna

I use a 9 gallon kettle with 2 ports for the thermometer and spigot


The Mash
  • Dough in @ 100F to 5 gal water for 30 minutes

  • Heat to 158F for 30 minutes
Sparge with 1.5 Gallons 170F water

Fermentation

O.G.: 1.048-1.052 F.G.: 1.010-1.012

Primary (4-7 days)

  • Pitch yeast - after krausen subsides transfer to secondary
Secondary (4-7 days)
  • Add 2oz pellet cascades

Bottling

  • Use 5 oz (3/4c) table sugar dissolved in 1.5 cups water and transfer to bottling aparatus.

Brewer's notes:  This is my first "whole cloth" recipe.  Went to the LHBS, and just filled my grain bill and hops bill with what "felt right" for a rye pale ale.  It turned out FANTASTIC.  This is definetely worth doing again.  The table sugar is not usually a preferred method, but I liked the crispness it provided.

8 Simple Rules for IT Organizations

By -
8 Simple Rules for IT Organizations I just listened to an excellent NPR rebroadcast of Harold Pollack who recently wrote The Index Card with co-author Helaine Olen. It got me thinking. What if all the Gartner surveys and corporate sponsored IT white papers are all wrong? What if the field of information technology and services with its fully buzzword-compliant list of IoT, Cloud, XaaS, and BigData, is, in a word, bullshit?  This is an attempt to take that financial advice, which is sound, and look for the simple rules that help those in IT do better for themselves. For those unfamiliar with the concept, Harold came up with 9 rules that could fit on an index card, that, if understood, would help you attain financial security. Here's what I think are 8 simple maxims that should sound familiar to those in IT. The theory is that by following these rules, you may attain information security. Revisions and detailed explanations to follow. Maybe. 0. Keep your data safe. ...

Tony's Ribs of Insanity

Tony's Ribs of I n s A n i T y Difficulty Level:  Stupid Hard Time Required:  5 hours (min) 6 hours if you actually read the whole recipe 24 hours (max) Background Summer's on it's way, and for those of you who have enjoyed my ribs in the past, I've decided to actually write down the whole recipe.  It's originally intended for pork, but you can use this with any kind of rib.  It also works good with chicken, beef, anything where braising works, including (gasp) tofu.  I think I'm going to have to try it on goat leg at some point. While this isn't true barbecue, as I don't really have the patience for it, it sure does taste as good as any rib you'll find in a restaurant.  The techniques are borrowed heavily from Alton Brown, of "Good Eats" fame, with some adjustments of my own.  It has four parts that make it so good you'll want to eat the plate. The Rub The Braise The Sauce The Grill Let's get down ...
