About summer time

[Gear101]

What beers are you thinking might be on the bill list?
I have the bills and hops for 3F Zombie Dust, GI Matilda and BierMuncher Blonde.

I need more bottles or kegs after than 200 gift card to LMHS.

we've got a tropical weisse,more of her summer shandy,IPA,APA are going to be it this year. It's not summer,without it...

A good Wit beer is always my summer go to. This year I am going to try the Miller Lite clone from this site to give a nice easy drinking beer.

My summers are too busy to brew so I load up the bottles in the winter. I bottled a pale ale today and next week I have a blueberry and a spiced dark ale to bottle. Then I'm thinking about a blond to brew.

I brewed a berlinerweisse using the method in Zymurgy. Turned out fantastic! I really can't imagine a better beer in the summer heat while mowing the lawn. Slightly sour while crisp and totally sessionable (3.5%). No matter what you brew, it will be delicious because it's yours!

 

[QuaffableQuips]

At a minimum I plan to have Helles, Hefeweizen, and a Landlord clone.

This year I'm also thinking of doing BierMuncher's Centennial Blonde and Homebrewtastic's Nelson Sauvin Saison.

First lager, 3 IPAs, Lil Sumpin' clone, Bavarian Hefe, EdWort's Haus Pale, my Francis Scott Ki-Wheat, Citrus Saison--all bottled or kegged by May!

Should be a sweet summer

I'm looking for a suggestion on a shandy recipe, would you be so kind as to suggest one?

At a minimum I plan to have...and a Landlord clone.

Got a recipe for that one?

 

[Catawampus]

I make the Belgian Grisette from Farmhouse Ales (a small saison--think Ommegang Hennipen) and add a portion of oats to the grain bill. It is fantastic for summertime, and I tend to brew with the seasons so the WY 3711 can cut it in the heat of Texas.

Summertime also brings on Hefeweizen, Dampfbier, Kolsch, and Gose.

 

[Gear101]

I just dropped my Hefeweizen into the secondary today, just to cold break in, bottling on friday.

Got a recipe for that one?

I don't have my recipe in front of me, but I just use 1 lb of Lyle's Golden Syrup (turbinado would be a fine substitute) plus enough Golden Promise malt to get me to an OG of about 1.045. Bitter to about 30 IBU with a combination of Fuggles and EKGs added in the first half hour, and then add Styrian Goldings at flameout (I use 1 oz for a 5 gal batch). Ferment with Wyeast 1469 (should finish around 1.010 or slightly under), carbonate to 1.5-ish volumes, and enjoy the goodness!

IPAs. Lots of em. High ABV low ABV, doesnt matter. I want hops and lots of em!

I'm also curious about the berliner weisse, so that is a possibility also.

 

[prrriiide]

A couple of IPAs, a couple of Kolschs, I want to try a swarzbier and lager it all summer to drink during football games this fall. Also thinking about a bacon porter. Maybe a Mexican lager. Who knows? I'll just do whatever I'm in the mood for when I'm at the LHBS.

 

[QuaffableQuips]

Oh, and don't forget about EdWort's Apfelwein. Make some now to enjoy nicely chilled and sparkling in the heat of July and August!
