Mark F. Clohecy commented on Chipper Dave's group The Dark Side"As I broaden my palet, I have become quite fond of the different roasted flavors of the stouts and porters. Chocolate and coffee are obvious, but I've found caramel, toffee, and even hints of licorice."

Rev. Bobby Beerman commented on Chipper Dave's group The Dark Side"'Tis a sin to say that only the colder months are for the dark side. Granted I take a sabbatical and enjoy a few more of the lighter shades in the warmer months but I always return to the beauty of something deep and dark. Heck, just this last…"
Profile Information
- Favorite beer style(s) of the moment:
- Sour beers, Porters, Stouts, ESBs, Kolsch, Belgian Strong ales, IPAs and American ambers mostly but I'll try any beer once. Recently getting into the Imperial porters and stouts.
- Who am I?:
- I'm a 50 year old beer geek who is Fermentedly Challenged. I'm a long time corporate IT cubicle slave who lives for his ale after a hard day on the keyboard. I moonlight as a beer blogger focused on the Northern Colorado craft beer scene. I first homebrewed back in the late 90's but got lazy and just started buying all those great craft beers. I'm now back brewing my own once again. @ChipperDave on twitter.

Making a simple yeast starter.
Getting ready for a homebrewing day begins a few days prior to the actual brew day. There is a lot of cleaning and sanitizing to do. There is also one task that you may want to do to help ensure a good fermentation later on, and that's making a yeast starter. It's simple, quick and will speed up the fermentation process. It can also help reduce the risk of other bacteria getting a foothold first in your wort.
