I've noticed a few people around here have brewed versions of Papa Charlie's "Joy of Homebrewing" recipes. How did they work out for you? I've been meaning to brew some of his recipes in his honor. Anyone have a favorite?

I've only tried the Toad Spit Stout, and both my wife and I love the stuff... Have a 10g batch in primary now...

So long as I keep the stout flowing, she lets me buy brewing toys...

The Barkshack Ginger Mead is outstanding...if you like ginger.

I did Good Life Pale Ale, I like it a lot. Pretty straightforward English pale ale, a good batch for my first mash.

I'm about to bottle a "Righteous American Real Ale". I added a little biscuit malt to the recipe, but that's all. We'll see how it comes out. His recipes are so simple, and I always end up changing them somewhat. I thought I should just follow the recipe exactly a couple times and see what happens.

Incidentally, I read in an article somewhere that the brewmaster at Rogue (john maier?) won a big competition with Charlie's barleywine recipe. I guess if the guys been brewing for 35 years, he ought to have worked out some good ones, eh?
