Naughty Sauce and one of its offshoots Cinnamon Roast Crunch are amazing! I know they use Portola Coffee. I live in Huntington Beach and have had this a few times recently at the brewery. It is so good. I also want to make a clone if anyone does come up with a recipe! FYI they don't do this in...

I was thinking of ordering a single hop IPA extract kit from MoreBeer.com with a Belgian yeast strain. Has anyone experimented with this combo? What kit/yeast did you use? Did you like it? Is there anything you would do differently? Thanks!!!

I love hoppy beers but the peach wheat was made with the intention for those that don't. Next year I will be using the German hef ingredient kit.

Honey porter- 1oz Chinook for 60 min, 1 oz Cascade for 1 minute Peach Wheat- .6 oz Cascade for 60 min, 1 oz Cascade for 1 minute

I have recently brewed a honey porter and a wheat beer that I added peach to. Both the beers had/have a hoppier taste than would be expected. The honey porter eventually had that flavor fade after a couple months in the bottle. The peach wheat has been bottled for about 3 weeks and it has gotten...
