Tosche Station Brewhouse – Sinjir’s Rath IPA Part I: Grains and Hops

Posted on by

Those of you who have listened to TSR, followed me on Twitter, or know me to any personal degree are aware that I am a big fan of craft beer. Yes, admittedly, I’m a Pacific Northwest native and as comes with the territory, I am a craft beer snob. Such a snob that a few weeks ago, I purchased Picobrew’s ingenious Pico Model C homebrew system.

Picobrew takes the guesswork, monitoring, and space requirements out of the homebrew beer process and replaces it with a rather sleek looking counter top appliance that fits in perfectly with the other gear you’ve got in your kitchen. As an added bonus, it’s also a rather capable sous vide cooker (stay tuned for future columns putting a Star Wars geek twist on cooking recipes). In other words, Picobrew’s Model C system is the perfect homebrew device for someone like me that wants to make their own beer, but doesn’t have the space, time, and monitoring requirements to homebrew in more traditional ways. But why are we here talking about kitchen appliances?

Welcome to the Tosche Station Brew House, a new ongoing blog series (with HEAVY inspiration taken from one of my favorite video series in Acquisitions Intoxicated) and soon to be podcast where we’re going to be taking a Star Wars character, event, or thing, and crafting a beer around them. Those of you who own a Picobrew system will be able to plug the recipes created into the Freestyle PicoPak maker or blank PikoPak (more on that in a moment) to make these beers yourself in the comfort of your own home. Up first, we’re cooking up a beer all about the snarkiest gun in the Galaxy Far, Far Away: Sinjir Rath Velus. To the jump!
