Video Rating: 4 / 5

We at the Murphy-Goode Winery got to thinking about the new age of communications and we figured it was a pretty good thing. So to get going, were looking for someone (maybe you) who really knows how to use Web 2.0 and Facebook and blogs and social media and YouTube and all sorts of good stuff like that — to tell the world about our wines and the place where we live: the Sonoma County Wine Country. In exchange, were offering you a Really Goode Job — a six-month job paying 000 a month plus accommodations! We want to hire a social media whiz (your title will be Murphy-Goode Wine Country Lifestyle Correspondent) who will report on the cool lifestyle of Sonoma County Wine Country and, of course, tell people what youre learning about winemaking. Did we mention that the compensation was 000 per month Plus accommodations in a beautiful home in picturesque Healdsburg, a popular vacation destination in our neck of the woods. Working hours are flexible. And all you have to do is experience wine and good living, and then tell people about it. (Do you play Poker, or Liars Dice? Dont worry; well teach you.) You (we hope) will become part of the Murphy-Goode crew — for six great months.

Home Brew review: Brewers Best German Oktoberfest & Great Lakes Christmas Ale clone

by NiceBrew on July 29, 2010

Brewers Best: Oktoberfest home brewing kit final product review C- A: 4.5/5 I really like the way this looks. The color turned out exactly as I had hoped. Amber body with red and yellow edges, white fluffy yeasty head. Little CO2 nucleation. S: 1/5 It doesn’t really smell like beer, and doesn’t smell good at all. Fruit + Yeast + Alcohol – malts – hops. T: 2/5 Light hop character, dominated by fruity esters and alcohol. Malts are basically indistinguishable. Easy to drink, but no real strong notes. M: 3/5 Light bodied, crisp, nothing special. Great Lakes Christmas Ale clone home brew review A- Recipe 1lb 40L Crystal Malt 1lb wheat malt 1lb lager malt 3oz roasted barley 8oz Dingemans Belgian Special B 145L 8oz 20L Muntins Carpls Malt 7lb light malt extract 2 oz cascade hops @ 60 mins .25 oz cascade @ 30 mins 1 oz fuggles @ 30 mins 1 oz Kent Goldings @ 15 mins 1 oz fuggles 1st dryhop 1 oz cascade 2nd dryhop 2 lbs honey 2 tbs cinnamon 2 tbs ginger 2 cinnamon sticks throughout fermentation Note* Priming sugar: If you are using corn sugar, do not use more than 8 oz per 5 gal. I prefer corn sugar to cane sugar because I think that cain sugar sweetens the beer to much.
