Eye of newt, toe of dog, chilled with baboons' blood.... Hadn't thought of using virgin mothers' breast milk, maybe in my next milk stout....
FTFY
I strain them out and do a 20-30min decoction while I use campden tablets to sterilize the remaining soup. I've found the added maillard flavors really helps the body of the starter. Once that's done add it to my hand-hammered artisnal copper coolship solera which has been behind the same Norwegian sourdough bakery for 25 years. For every starter I add I then draw a blended fresh pitch for the Truest of True Ales.
I'm excited about @Kev211 's suggestion of the double-toasted malt. I think that's just what the recipe is looking for!
Instead of using gypsum I have been using pulverized bones from long dead, dug up Abby Monks. I find an extra trueness when adjusting my brewing water in this manner.
The one True Beer brewer.Abby Monks? Who's she?

it's funny how people get all bent out of shape when i just try to give some advice.
all im saying is that in major homebrew contests True Beer wins every time for aroma, taste and overall. No hops is the secret that the pros use. I will be posting my recipe soon.
Just don't call it a "Trappist" beer. They enforce those trademarks. But "Long Dead, Dug Up Monk Bones Abbey Ale" has a certain ring to it.
Do you mean major homebrew contests like the AHA National Hombrew Competition? You know the largest homebrew competition in the world. They just set a new record of 8,618 entries. The best of show etnry (best of all 8,618) was an American wild ale, 100% brett, and 7 oz of hops in a 10 gal batch.
The 2016 NHC best of show was a hefeweizen that used 1 oz of hops in 5 gal batch. hefe recipe
Best Commercial Beer 2017: Bell's Two Hearted Pale Ale. From the brewer themselves, they use centennial hops. This clone recipe was provided by Bell's and it uses 5.9 oz hops per 5 gal batch. Bell's recipe
Before that Russian River's Pliny the Elder won the competition 8 years in a row. It uses a whopping 12.5 oz of hops in a 6 gal batch. Pliny recipe
So what major competitions are you refering? Which 'pro' brewers don't use hops?
Looking forward to this recipe, that you'll post soon.
Thanks and praise to fredthecat, that great proselytizer of the cause of Abby Monks and the way of the True, he the devout believer and sharer and missionary of the way of the True Beer(TM). We aspire to your conviction!
oldy, but curious what are some flavour descriptors for it? am really considering doing it
i have kind of been doing my own thing for a long time, really getting into True Beer. I haven't even thought of hops in ages. Do you STILL use hops???
This is the type of insight HBT is famous for! I would have never considered toasting my stones over the sweet flames of elderberry, but that sounds incredible.
The next time I polish up the old decoction stones I will be sure to harvest some elderberry boughs first.
You haven't figured it out yet?Is op meaning gruit or is he just messin with us?

I started using the scrap pieces of drywall laying outside of Home Depot, the employees were happy i was cleaning them up for free.... suckers.....
Wait.... what?
I live in Colorado...would our State plant be for bittering or dual purpose in lieu of those old, nasty hops?
Perhaps the OP has first hand knowledge which is why we get crazy ass, somewhat random posts?!
I tried using drywall in a beer once, but everyone said it had a cardboard taste. I tried to explain that it is True Beer(TM), but they all walked out. I guess they just weren't ready for it.
Buncha savages.
Yeah. Civilized folks peel off the paper.
So, you use a lot of gypsum in your IPAs?
At this point it is kinda unclear who is messin with who. This is sorting of the HBT version of Swinging - everybody is messing with everybody...
End of story. True Beer.
Dear everyone trying to ask serious questions or reason with him,

Dude, that isn't even your pic! You pulled that off of pintrest.
Anybody can right click that image and google search it. If you want to actually post a genuine pic, do so. It's easy to cross reference if you don't.
That picture is of a Founders All Day IPA Clone HomeBrew Recipe. Apparently even you can't visually discern a true beer from non! You do know what hops are, don't you? Do you even make beer?
