The Chronicles of Dude

I am planning a series of high gravity beers to be brewed over the next year or so, in accordance with kind of a "seasonal" idea. I'm going to name each one somewhat fittingly with the style of the beer--with a twist. Each one will end in "-tude", ala Weyerbacher's "-esy" and Russian River's "-ation" series.

So, without further ado, here are the "Chronicles of Dude":

SANCTITUDE - Abbey Tripel
ATTITUDE - American IPA
DULCITUDE - Oatmeal Porter
FORTITUDE - Oak Aged Rum Barrel Strong Ale

All of the beers will be cork bottled and wax coated for proper aging.

Recipes forthcoming! Brewing will commence in 2008! :rockin:

I may join you and brew one.

Are you using existing recipes or formulating them your self?

Great idea! You may end up with a lot of company. I certainly don't mind brewing something now that I won't be drinking for a long time. (If I did mind than I really screwed up with the 135 gallons of wine I made this fall that won't be ready till 2009.)

Formulating myself/ripping off of others/collaborative/etc.

This should be fun.

I got the same urge, Dude. I have 4 batches now that are between 1.075 and 1.095 aging for 6 months - a year. It'll be a good fall 2008

Sounds like a great idea, Dude. May I also suggest Vicissitude? Maybe a barleywine...you know, b-wine changes so much with age, vicissitude is one of its qualities...

Dude-tude - ???

How about a beer in honor of Dude's sexual prowess?

I like the Chronicles idea, Dude! Sounds like a nice series of brews. I may have to brew a "tribute" IIPA - "ALTITUDE."

There's a couple of early batches kicking around I could re-name "Suckitude."

The biggest should be Amplitude! Maybe the best Beatitude.

Very cool, Dude. I wish I had a temp controlled place to store all of my strong stuff. I've got 2 yeasrs of barleywine, a RIS, a Doppelock and a strong belgian dark I'm hanging on to.

You could do Latitude in a similar vein of DFH's Pangea.

Pick a couple ingredients that have their roots from countries/regions that all lie on the equator, for example.

I started researching ingredients for this...I'm going to pick ingredients indigenous to countries along 37 N for the first one....and after that, maybe I'll pick a "longitude" and do that too!


And oh....
