Cap and Cork

Other than a generic filler post (since removed), this is my first foray into online content for CapandCork.com, my site for all things homebrew related, with a few of my own personal stories thrown in for balance.  Think of my recipes as the malt and my musings as the hops…  Balance my friends.  Balance is good.  With that being said…

Welcome!  I am certainly glad you found your way here.  Hopefully you find something that proves useful, or at the very least entertaining.  I’ve been brewing beer and wine at home for almost a year and a half now, and I’ve certainly learned a few things along the way.  By no means am I an expert, I simply know enough to be dangerous.

Coming soon:

• Some very useful conversions for use when making beer and wine with common ingredients.  (Some recipes call for cups of sugar and some call for pounds - these simple conversions will make life much easier.)
• Some basic DIY Wine-at-Home recipes.  Very basic, but very drinkable wine.  I’ve read more recipes online than I care to admit, and these recipes take the best from each one of those and create some womderful hybrid recipes.
• An array of beer, bragoot and mead recipes I’ve come up with, as well as my take on how they’ve turned out.  Wait till you see my friends IPA recipe; it’s a keeper.

Also, a quick thank you to the guy who helped me get all this up and running, TheAverageWhiteGuy.  Be sure to check his blog out via the link on the side.  I can assure you he always has something interesting to say over there!

 Again, welcome!  And enjoy…
