Im losing it
. I keep coming up with off the wall ideas
. Make it stop! I havent even finished my last wacky experimental brew!
I was thinking (hence the smell of burning lint...) of what I could brew up for a lawnmower beer this summer, and this hair-brained concept hit me up aside the head like a White Freightliner . (here Bubba, hold my beer and watch this .)
For a 5-gallon batch: A more or less Blonde Ale, say .. uh . 8 -pounds of Pale Malt (2-row) and a pound of Vienna (?), maybe a small amount, say a quarter pound, of Cara-Pils??? mash around 152 (?)... some Cascade Hops for bittering (only?), to oh, say around 25 to 28 IBU . Weirdness begins here: the zest of around four small limes and a roasted (maybe roast them on the grill over mesquite???) green jalapeño chili or three added late in the boil. Say S-05 or Notty yeast Ill steep some fresh cilantro in a bit of Tequila for a few weeks, strain it, and add the liquid after fermentation slows down. Prime with Agave nectar? (wonder how much?) Ill call it Tequila Mockingbird At worst I can always marinade chicken in it and fire up the grill .. What do you guys think????
Do they have support groups for this kind of madness? Oh, thats right Im at one now
