I think this is so cool. George Washingtons distillery is a national land mark and this makes me so proud that the White House did this.
I agree with the spirit behind this idea. I'm guessing that the White House kitchen may have already expanded past the amount of equipment shown in the video -- they must be used to anticipating all kinds of sudden unexpected demands, and don't want to be caught short if the President decides to invite 100 veterans over for beer next weekend and wants to offer the house bottle, for example. They may well be churning out a lot more than 5 gallons a month as we speak.
I think it would be great if future presidents also had their own style -- over the years, I think it would be a great way to track changing tastes and preferences, and I hope they keep the tradition growing.
I seem to remember that Reagan was a big booster of California wines and helped a bit in making them more respected internationally by serving them a lot when he was President. Maybe Obama could do just a little of that for US beer as well.
Spargin'. Color looks pretty damn close to the video!
I think I will brew some White House Honey Ale to serve on election night.
Hell ya!

That's a very interesting idea!

Thanks.

You know somebody will do it. If I owned a shop. I would
Pappers, are you gonna do it? I'll do it if you do it.

Heh, I'm down with that. Not an O, but I'd brew one of these on election night. Hell yeah. That'd be fun. November what?
And I would sell them in Red or Blue versions

OP, Thx for posting the video, had not seen that yet. Turns out alot of us are using the same gear as the president, thats gotta be a first for me. And to all you children who keep ruining these threads: let everyone else enjoy something fun, theres lots of political forums online. Use them. Oh and also thanks for the AG conversions guys as alot of us prefer not to use extract. Also Revvy is the man. Also summer is in its twilight, brew and brew alot before its cold. I think we are in for a cold winter this year. That is all, rock on everyone.
Kudos to the President for raising the profile of homebrewing, that's for sure.
the Honey Porter recipe seems pretty much identical to the "Colonial Honey Porter" that's on page 154 of my Brewmaster's Bible (first edition) --
The Windsor dry ale yeast is not available to me local. Nottingham is a Danstar product I can get . I can get Safale S-04 from Fermentis too. I'm thinking Nottingham is the closest. Yes?
Northern just listed these kits on there site
Am I missing something? The recipe says 1.5 oz of Fuggles pellets in the recipe, yet it says to only add 0.5 oz Fuggles with one minute to go in boil. Where do the other 1.0 oz of Fuggles go?
I assume they meant to say add the 1.5 oz Fuggles at one minute to go in the boil, not 0.5 oz.
Interesting article, but I don't know how you get 7% out of these recipes... hopville says my porter will be 5.7%
