So I've been itching to make a beer like The Angels Share, which is among my favorite beers (except the flat 2008, good but not best) and I recently got into a little project creating spirit based "tinctures" of oak spirals for some beers. Having had that going for a few weeks I decided I needed...

Next weekend is a brewing weekend, and its been quite some time since I brewed a nice pale ale. One of the better pale ales I've enjoyed recently is the Deschutes Red Chair NWPA. It seems a little different from when it was called the Red Chair IPA, but it is quite delicious and very drinkable...

A while ago when I managed to hang out at olllllo's for a bit we drank an Allagash Tripel Reserve, which everyone present agreed. The fantastic fruity spicy profiles mixed in with some complex malt characters while still being highly drinkable was quite a treat. Sadly we forgot to capture the...

I have gotten a few PMs from people who followed the two Westvleteren 12 threads I did regarding trying to clone this recipe and a competition with the other people who were in on it so I'm posting up my notes. There are two ways of making this, a "New World" recipe that uses specialty malts...

I have a brett fermenter that is empty, I intend on rectifying this problem this coming weekend with my next wild brew. This will be my first Brett B brewing, having already done The Minstrel with 100% Brett C and The Muse with 100% Brett L. I've done some kicking around of ideas and I'm...

Since I am now near the completion of my last big beer project, the https://www.homebrewtalk.com/f12/westvleteren-12-group-brew-swap-121429/ its time to get another one going. Cuvee de Tomme (herefore known as CdT) I think would dovetail nicely with the work done in the previous project as the...

Tomorrow is brewday and I'm brewing a nice hoppy APA, something I can drink more or less every day when I get home from work. Plus it was a great excuse to try something new with the some new 2009 harvest leaf hops I got from freshops.com, Amarillo, Simcoe and Citra. A new hop that is similar in...

So I've been trying for a while to trade for a bottle of Three Floyds Alpha Kong, which is their 16% ABV "Belgian Sextuple" and was only brewed a few times, but to no avail. Then I woke up and realized, wait a second I can brew one myself! Based on how well my Westvleteren 12 traditional...

So last Friday I had off thinking I needed a good chunk of the day to go to traffic court and get two minor charges dismissed but it ended up only taking about 20 minutes. What do I do with a suddenly free day? Brew of course! I've been meaning to get another funky wild ale going with how...

I'm looking at making a spiced winter english style barleywine soon to age for some Christmas parties. There is a really great local spiced amber ale that I like by Thunder Canyon Brewery called Ornament Ale, but they aren't forthcoming with the recipe so I'm kinda guessing on my own here...

I'm looking at starting a Brewtus build in a while and am wondering if anyone has any blueprints or plans for one that takes into account the particular shape of boilermaker stepped bottoms.

OLD STUFF, see below for updates. My 1 year brewing anniversary is coming up June 14th, and so to commemorate this occasion I'm going to brew the a beer I've so wanted to brew but have been putting off for a long time, Westvleteren 12. I have had the opporitunity to try this beer once under a...

Well for those of you lucky enough to live close to Munster Indiana, you probably have a golden ticket if you knew about the upcoming Dark Lord Day (today). Since I live all the way over in Arizona I decided I would brew a Dark Lord inspired Russian Imperial Stout. The past two weeks I've been...
