Tastiest thing you've ever brewed?

BugleBrew · 12-03-2008, 05:57 PM

And post the recipe.

Mine was a real simple extract pale ale. The first beer I created on my own. I've since moved on to AG, but this is still my favorite so far.

7 lbs lme
.5 lbs crystal 10L

1 oz cascade (60)
.5 oz cascade (30)
.75 cascade (15)
.75 cascade (5)
safale us05

Stick it in a carboy for 3 weeks, bottle for at least three weeks. Simple and delicious.

Mine is the English Mild I am drinking right now. It is the 3rd time brewing it, each with a tweak to try to improve the flavors.

I will Post the recipe here when I home.

The most recent IPA I brewed would have to win, I think. Although I have a dubbel in bottles that might trump it.

My god, that looks like an expensive beast. How much did that run you?

Best thing I ever brewed was probably the 4th or 5th batch of this ( Alabama Pilsener ) after I started really lagering it and kegging instead of bottling.

well, if you note the hops are all in 2 ounce portions or less, and I buy 2 ounces at a time. 5.50 per 2 ounces, minus a 20% discount (I'm very lucky) and with the dry yeast I used, it came out to about 34 dollars. 2 row is ridiculously cheap and there's not much else in it other than hops.

I have yet to taste the latest incarnation of my pale ale, and I have a Dead Guy clone fermenting at the moment; but I'd have to say the best thing I've brewed so far is Orfy's Mild Mannered Ale recipe.

Where do you get your Simcoe from? I have been looking for it but can't find a place that has it for a reasonable price.

My local homebrew store. They're also a production brewery, so they have hookups.

Although, their website seems to currently be out. So I am a liar.
