More on Cooks Lane, Dublin
I’ve previously discussed Cooks Lane in Dublin, former home of my father’s father’s people. It is now under the Guinness Brewery.
A recent post from UCD is about maps built based on the Thom’s Street Directory, the telephone book of the day, caught my eye, so I looked for Cooks Lane on the most recent map available: 1898.… Read the rest
Cooke’s Lane, Dublin
My father’s father’s family lived in the area around Watling Street, Dublin, Ireland in the late 19th Century.

They got back to me stating that they offer brewing services on site.… Read the rest

Playing with temperature and fermentation
So, I’ve been looking at regulating the temperature of my fermentations beyond wrapping carboys in towels and placing them near radiators.
Earlier this week I took my just about then two-week old porter and placed it near a radiator and saw with my own eyes what a couple of degrees can do for yeasties in a sugary solution.… Read the rest
