I believe it's finally starting to get cooler outside. That can only mean one thing. Soon it will be dark beer season. All those stouts I've been saving up will soon be ready to open. Anyone else ready for some dark beer? I've got a bottle of Desc...

Still time to sign up! We've got 9 teams so far but would like one more to make it an even 10 teams. Draft day is less than 3 weeks away (Sept 5th) so there's still time to do your homework and join us. Free to join and craft beer if you win!

I'm now back brewing my own once again. @ChipperDave on twitter.

It can also help reduce the risk of other bacteria getting a foothold first in your wort.
