Research on this beer showed that the ingredients and percentages are fairly well known based on information from the Traquair House brewery. I was not sure about how much spice should be added and whether one batch or two so I erred on the low side. Can always add more later. 17 1/4 lbs...

Hello folks I just came into a significant amount of Mint Honey and would like some ideas on how to proceed with making this into a great mead. The honey is a caramel colour and has caramel flavour. Mint is in there too but is fairly background. The person that gave it to me said there...

I researched this beer for a longer than normal length of time because there is so little information available on it. I freely admit a great debt of gratitude to Jamil Zainasheff for his clone attempts. He did most of the heavy lifting on this one for me. His clone is of Arrogant Bastard, to...

Caledonian Brewing is an Edinburgh brewery that produces two of my favorite beers; Caledonian Porter and Caledonina 80 Shilling. One of my favorite authors also has a hero who always drinks Caledonian 80' so this beer was partially brewed as a tribute to Rebus. Currently this beer has an OG of...

This is the third time around for this beer. I've adjusted the recipe slightly and changed mash temps and times slightly. 12 lbs lager malt 2 lbs wheat 1 lb oats 1 lb bottle of clear white syrup in boil 1 oz Hallertau in boil .25 oz Hallertau at 15 .5 oz licorice root at 15 1.5 oz fresh...

I have made this recipe many times and its a great holiday favorite. I try to be sure that I have a get together planned and place this beer at the head of the table. Locally there are a few Pumpkin Ales on the market every Halloween but many of them taste artificial. This one tastes very...

I've been working this beer clone for a couple of years now. In side by side tests with the original I find theirs is drier and has a tang to it that mine hasn't. I think theirs may come from a larger addition of sugar. Most people prefer mine to the original. Something to be said for fresh...

This is another beer I was able to get quite a bit of information about from the good people at Summit Brewing in Minneapolis. The recipe below has been changed slightly but is still a very representative of their flagship Summit Pale Ale. 12 lbs Hugh Bairds 1 lb CaraPils 1 lb 10 Crystal...

This is a big Old Ale style beer with spice additions that make it a great Winter Warmer/Xmas beer. 13.5 lbs Hugh Bairds 2 lbs Munich 1.5 lbs 60 Munich 1 lbs Oats 4 oz Chocolate malt 2 oz. Fuggles in boi 1 cinnamon stick at 15 3 cloves at 15 .5 oz nutmeg at 5 .5 oz allspice at 5...

This is a really big malty beer that is my closest attempt to cloning Rogue's Mogul Ale. I like Wyeasts 1728 Scottish because it is very clean and malty, perfectly suiting this beer. 11 lbs Hugh Bairds 1 lb Crystal 60 1 lb Crystal 120 4 lbs Munich 1 lb CaraPils 1.5 oz Fuggles in the boil 1 oz...

I love Dubbels and I love the unique flavour of Special B malt. This beer lets me enjoy both. The recipe was patched together from many sources. Thanks to an interview with the former head brewer at Ommegang the spicing came together more clearly than in previous attempts. 11 lbs lager malt...

This is a beer my wife demands I keep in the house. I accidently got the recipe from an assistant brewer at Summit Brewing in Minneapolis. I've changed it very slightly since then. OG 1060 - 1065 FG 1015 13 lbs Hugh Bairds 1 lb of Chocolate malt 1 lb of 120 Crystal 3/4 oz. Cascade...

This beer began as my standard La Chouffe clone but circumstances changed the recipe and it came out more as a Karmeliete clone instead. 16 lbs of lager malt 1 lbs of CaraPils 1 500ml bottle of white syrup 1 ounce of Hallertau for 90 minutes .25 ounce of Hallertau at 5 minutes I've been...

I've been intrigued by Hercule since I read about it in one of the Clone beer books. I tried that recipe but was very disappointed. Now with new clues from the actual brewers I've tried again and feel sure this one is going to be much closer. 12 lbs lager malt 2 lbs Special B 2 lbs Munich 1...
