about this site

Defay.org is simply a web site to share ideas and meet people with common interests. While the founders of the site share the defay surname, there are others who do not. defay.org is not limited to family members or people with the defay surname. It is an open community site.

If you've got a bit of DeFay in you, and you would like to know how we all relate to one another, please read my family genealogy blog.  Or for info about me, read my min-bio.

What will I find at defay.org?

Amy got me a home brew kit for Xmas & I've been busy making beer ever since.  I've made about 10 batches of beer, starting with a kit so I could follow a simple couple of steps to learn how to make beer. 


Since my first kit batch, an Imperial Ale by LD Carlson, I've taken a class at my local brew shop and made an Amber Ale, Red Wine from a kit, a Fat Tire clone brew (twice), hard cider, a dry hopped American Ale, and Apricot Ale with a wheat beer base. 


Today I'm brewing my first IPA (India Pale Ale) and used a program called BeerSmith to come up with my own recipie (based on a local IPA I recently enjoyed). 


The hard cider and apricot ale were both disasters, but everything else has turned out pretty well.  I've got high hopes for my IPA (recipie here).
