jsprague...how much simcoe did you use? Sounds like a nice brew for the summer.

Yesterday, since we were stuck at home with 40 cm of fresh snow, I brewed a batch of Dogfish Head 60 clone, using Yoopers recipe. This was after I bottled 5 gallons of Bohemian Pilsner on Sunday. Both were made using the PLETO method.

What praytell, is a Pseudo Helles with Kveik like? All Pilsner grain?

With the prices of passionfruit up here in Canada, that might be $100 of fruit up here. Which is almost criminal since I absolutely love the flavor of passionfruit. I still recall bags of pulp like this in Peru for a buck or two.:(:(

or maybe, Don't worry, Be hoppy!

Being retired, I have a lot of flexibility in timing that would not be possible with kids around. I do a stove top s2.5 gallon partial mash (with about half the grain), a partial boil with the 2.5 gallon, add LME then cool in kitchen sink and top up with water for fermentation. With this set...

That Horindal Cider sounds very interesting. What sort of recipe did you use?

My wife often makes a big batch of rotkohl with some apples and onions in it. Bake in the oven for a couple of hours at 325 F and then we divide it into 2 portion servings in small freezer bag. Whenever we have a craving for some rotkohl, we just pull a baggie out of the freezer and warm it up...

Thats cool. When you have your next pilgrimige to Montreal you should also include Smoke Meat Pete's out near the airport area. It has blues music and good smoked meat platters/sandwiches.

Sounds almost like the Montreal Smoked Meat recipe that I use. After smoking steam that meat for 60-90 minutes and then slice for sandwiches and you will be in meat heaven!

I got a small (7 cu ft) fridge which I am using as a fridge for cold fermentations and lagering. My first beer in this fridge is a Kolsch which has been lagering/cold crashing for almost 3 weeks now. I have tried to keep the temperature in the 30 to 40 F range and have been checking the...

Mash it up with some mango and use it a secondary for a mango-PF IPA? I am extremely jealous as passionfriut is one of my favorite fruits. Up here in Canada, they are prohibitively expensive. Something like $2 per fruit, if you can even find them.

After 3 weeks of priming, I finally opened a bottle from my latest batch and it had that nice spicy Hoegaarden flavor. The only problem was that I was brewing a 5 gallon batch of Hoegaarden clone, I was making Biermuncher's Oktoberfast Ale!:oops::oops: For reference, I did a partial mash with...

Today I am in Newfoundland, Canada and found my first Kveik Pale Ale from a small craft brewer, Qidi Vidi le Brewers. It was quite pleasant with a nice mild orange and pineapple flavour. This was very refreshing after a big, heavy lunch of fish and chips deluxe - fish and chips with dressing...

Would you be able to share the "tweaked" recipe? Looks nice

Reminds me of my time spent in Dusseldorf, also. I haven't brewed an alt yet, but it is on my list to do this winter after I finish the Koelsch that I started today. Looks very nice.

Brewed my first Koelsch today. I am using the last packet of Lallemand Koelsch yeast from my LHBS (it is just past the best before date, but it should be OK), so if it goes well, I will be harvesting the yeast for future batches. The timing is right because my cold storage room which I used for...

Yesterday, I had a somewhat (although less extreme) experience as did Fatsputin. I did a partial mash 7.2 lbs of milled grain in a muslin bag in about 2 gallons of water at 152-153 F. After 1 hour mash, I sparged the bag in a collander with about 1 gallon of 170 F water (until the liquid was...

I am looking to brew 5 gallons of this one for the first time in the next day or two and would appreciate any comments on my grain bill. I am a little concerned about not making it too sweet - I don't want a crystal bomb, just a balanced malt forward beer. I have cut back the Crystal 50...

Update on this DFH60 clone. My LHBS didn't have Kveik yeast (he said that only a couple of people have asked about it and he hasn't decided if he will stock it), so I went with S05. I was able to chill the wort down to 64 F after the boil and by keeping some frozen soda bottles next to the...
