Milkshake IPA. My grain bill includes plenty of flakes oats and it got lactose, dextrose, and green apple purée at 15 left in the boil. Lots of dry hopping and vanilla beans during fermentation.
Hoping to get an apricot wheat ale for my daughter tomorrow.
Boy that sounds good. Mind sharing the recipe and how you introducing the apricot? Thanks!
Doing a gin/lime Gose and Porter.
Glad to! It's a simple grain bill...
5# 2-row
3# wheat
2# flaked wheat
Mash at 150°-152° for an hour
1oz Willamette (5.1aa) at 60 min
1oz Kazbek (4.1aa) at 5 min
Total IBU of 29
Fermented at 65° for 14 days with wlp001
Add apricots (4-5#) after primary is nearly complete (10-14 days).
I pureed and froze the fruit before thawing and adding to beer.
I did this last year with cherry puree. It was very good so I was asked to do it again.
If I can convince myself I can bottle and do an all grain brew at the same time without screwing either up I might brew a porter. Could always bottle saturday and brew sunday but I have other fun projects to do.
Brewing my first lager for my wife, because she wants “something like pilsner urquell.”
Don’t have a specific fridge for keeping the fermentation cool bit I’ve rigged a circulating water system in a modified cooler. If it works it will open the door for more money on beer supplies...always nice when wifey supports my habits. Wish me luck!
Good luck! And keep it simple; simple is good for a beer like this.
I haven't tried a lager yet,not because I can't keep the fermentation cool enough -- only have to do that for a few days -- but because I don't have any way of lagering it after fermentation and before bottling. (does lagering in the bottles work?)
