    Thomas Jefferson Ale

    Yes. The best equivalent is probably dark treacle, but the first refining of sugar produces a slight golden syrup that is likely to have been used as well. Sent from my iPhone using Home Brew

    Thomas Jefferson Ale

    One thing to note in all these recipes is that the reference to molasses is not a reference to blackstrap molasses, but more likely something like cane molasses- or inverted sugar. I'll find the source for that info and post it. Sent from my iPhone using Home Brew

    George Washington's Beer Recipe

    I'll try and cover everything. As far as the gravity, 1.011 is pretty accurate, it may have finished a little lower, but it wasn't hard cider dry in terms of mouthfeel. Boiling the wheat seems to have done exactly that- extracted some tannins that help provide more of a body than would be...

    George Washington's Beer Recipe

    I loved it. Especially for the historical value, but I was pleasantly surprised by the results. I kegged and carbed to American adjunct lager levels. It turned out crystal clear, and the flavor was crisp, clean and refreshing. Inverting the sugar before using it made all the difference in my...

    Which vintage beer to treat myself with?

    Cigar City Marshal Zhukov would be my first pick. St Bernadus Abt 12 Chimay Grande Reserve Either of those two would also be on my list.

    Highly anticipated ......... yet utterly disappointing beers.

    Anything from Cigar City if you can get it will be great. I just had Gillian from Goose Island last night and it was worth every penny.

    Cask kit?

    It has to be one that pours from the bottom- the Heineken and Newcastle ones won't work this easily- and you basically treat it like you would a cask. The top can be carefully pried out with pliers, then rack and prime like you would a bottle(just be careful with the amount of priming sugar- it...

    Cask kit?

    A couple different breweries have a mini gravity pour keg out there that you can do the same thing with. I've done it multiple times with great results. They look like the picture below and only cost between $20-$30.

    What are you drinking now?

    Just kegged George Washington's Small beer. Surprisingly excited to say it is much better than I anticipated. Made my own invert sugar with Florida organic cane sugar to replicate the molasses that would have been used back then. Used willamette hops in the boil and s-04. It's actually really...

    What are you drinking now?

    Poured a couple fingers of it last night. Very complex but in the sense that I tasted something different every time I tasted it. The aroma alone is phenomenal- spent about 10 minutes just smelling it. I added a splash of water because it is almost too much if you don't. At 107 proof I guess...

    What are you drinking now?

    Got pretty lucky and got the chance to get a bottle from the ABC liquor lottery. Worth every penny. So much going on but so perfectly simple.

    What are you drinking now?

    Bitches Brew inspired Imperial Stout/Braggot HB. Only ended up at 8.2% but it's really tasty

    George Washington's Beer Recipe

    I just attempted my take on this. Used organic Florida came sugar and made invert sugar with it. Also used willamette hops cause that's what I had on hand- boiled hops and bran together for an hour. Bubbling away happy now- I'll post a review in a few weeks
