"Greenwood Aged Beer"
Saison Six and Ginger Peach Hefeweizen...at the same time!
I used White Labs 810 CA Common Yeast in that one. It got dumped right on top of the yeast cake from my previous brew, a CA Common. It was a 3 gallon brew due to mash space. I used 5 lbs of Munich, 5 lbs 2-row, 0.25 lb Chocolate Malt and 0.25 lb. Crystal 90. For hops I put 0.5 oz of Hallertauer Hesrbruck at 60 and 0.25 oz at 30 as well as 0.25 oz of Tettnanger at 30 and 15.the_bird said:I'm finally cracking into my Secret Santa brews, I've got some of Brewsmith's Dopplebock. Very malty, very smooth. High beer (1085 OG), but no discernable alcohol flavor. No hop flavor or aroma to speak of, just an almost overwhelming malty goodness. Sweet and caramelly, a little toffee in there, almost but not quite cloying. Definately not a session beer, but an excellent, excellent brew.

If I did it again, I'd probably ditch the chocolate and crystal, and bump up the bittering hops a little. Now that my fermentation fridge is up and running I would also do a real lager.

Well I tried to take a reading, but the carbonation is screwing with the hydrometer. It's wanting to say it's over 1.030, but I know that's completely wrong. I pitched on a yeast cake, so I'd go with at least 75% aparent attenuation, which puts it at around 1.021.the_bird said:Out of curiosity, what was the final gravity on that?
Brewtopia said:Cream City Pale Ale from Lakefront Brewery in Milwaukee. It's from the beer exchange I did with Lorenae. It's nice, crisp with an almost "Piney/Sprucey" bitterness to it. Does anyone know what hops they are using?
Brewsmith said:Hey bird, you haven't tried my IPA yet have you? I'm a little curious on your thoughts on that one, or any of the others you haven't drank yet for that matter.
Sounds fair.the_bird said:I'll crack that one tomorrow; I'm anxious to try it as well. I have five beers left from you and from Todd_k; I think the fairest approach is to alternate (and I usually don't drink more than one of something THAT big - and those are big beers you sent me - during the week).
lorenae said:I'm drinking Wolf's oatmeal stout. Excellent! Very deep flavored and rich. I love the maltiness and huge creamy head. Must have a pretty high ABV, as it it me pretty hard after my earlier brews.
Great brew, Wolf. Very nice. I'm glad I waited to tonight to enjoy it.

Brewtopia said:I wonder if this beer is infected? It has a slight sourness to it that I don't remember ever getting from Cascades. I tend to like infected beers though. Give me a Brett beer any day! By the way, I just switched. Right now I'm drinking one of the Two Hearted Ales you sent me. This beer is great. Nice citrusy hop profile.
