IMHammered Brewing WEB Site. This is a place to list my Rants and Raves about good beer, Good Times and of course the Art of making Great Beer! Check back often as I update this daily. Feel free to email me your thoughts on Brewing, Drinking or maybe that really good beer you tried last night.
Check out some great photos here.
Check out our great Recipes.
In case you are wondering, I.M. Hammered Brewing is:
Mark -- Head brewer and drinker (brewer of over 65 batches of extract and all grain brews, drinker of many thousands of bottles and pints of beer), CEO and President of the finest Nano-brewery I know of, head bottle washer, and sanitation engineer
Liz -- Vice President in charge of bar decorating, keeping me from becoming too fanatical in my brewing habits, and is also known as "she who must be obeyed"
Michael -- Brewhouse assistant, equipment consultant, Chief IT Geek and self-appointed Official Beer Taster (great work if you can get it)
Schpankie -- Newest convert from fizzy yellow water to finely crafted beers and ales, adds little value to the brewhouse, but we like him anyway
Scooter -- The gas man (and I mean that in the kindest of ways) bringing propane and co2 when needed, also has keen interest in the brewing process
Knuckle Jefe -- Newest convert to brewing (has four batches under his belt), has began a start up nano-brewery in Kentucky known as "Double-Wide Brewing" with the catchy slogan of "double wide beers at single wide prices". Boy has a brilliant future in marketing. IMH is helping with equipment in the start up. We all work for beer, then again, why wouldn't we.
Parrot Pete, aka, Pappa Draft
-- Bar designer, humidor raider, label celebrity, and Just because he should have been on the list the whole time.
We hope to make this site fun and informative and look for outside input, or inside output, whatever works.

ALL GRAIN NEWS: After carefull planning and a long design process, The Master Brewer and Myself came to the realization that we need to raise the mash tun inorder to take full advantage of gravity. (would you want to lift that barrel?) Suddenly we had a dilemma, How are we going to raise the burner and mash tun? After a long discussion and a few beers we decided we needed a stainless steel platform. The search was on.... Thanks to Grampa Dan, We have our platform being manufactured and it is on its way. WOOHOO! Thanks Grampa Dan!!!!
