best beer you ever made!

[barrog]

My best is a toss up between https://www.homebrewtalk.com/f126/bourbon-vanilla-porter-ag-30185/ and https://www.homebrewtalk.com/f12/triple-cs-ipa-131735/

 

[hungry4hops]

best on i made so far is an bourbon barrel Oktoberfest that i lagered for four months for my buddies wedding!

 

[bovineblitz]

Either a gose or an all brett C grisette.

Ask me when it's cold out and I'll have a different answer.

My IIPA. Half the total IBUs (~80) came from late addition hops. Heavy on Citra with some Cascades. 8.5% ABV, great hop flavor and aroma. It was my first time dry-hopping as well. I want to nudge it a skosh more towards malty, so I'm upping the crystal a tad and upping the ABV to 9%, also going to try Simcoe as the 2nd hop next time.

 

[nukebrewer]

Oak Aged Russian Imperial Stout I made first thing after getting back from deployment.

 

[Nightshade]

So far it has been an Imperial IPA, but I am expecting to top that with an espresso stout I am building up.

 

[ktblunden]

The one I'm most proud of so far is my Sunnydale Pale Ale. Built the recipe from scratch and it came out with an amazing hop aroma and flavor.

Hands down BM's Outter Limits

+1 to this recipe. One of the best IPAs I've ever had. This one is especially good when it is young...flavors dissipated quickly after a month or so in the bottle.

Doppelbock. Fistful of medals with that one. Brewing it again this weekend! I'll probably review scoresheets and tweak the recipe accordingly. Half will get fermented with Wyeast 2206; the other half either S-189 or Wyeast 2308 and I will make 5g of bock just for good measure (all three yeasts will be repitching slurry). One of the batches will get turned into an Eisbock.

 

[koopa]

Probably the one I'm drinking right now. 7.5 ABV, 100 IBU, IPA made with 4 different hop varieties (columbus, citra, amarillo, and galaxy) added at 6 different stages (including a 2 stage dry hopping) in the whopping amount of 24oz for a 10 gallon batch!

 

[billf2112]

Has got to be that Budweiser clone I made, tasted like dirty feet.

Seriously, would have been the Stout I am drinking right now, perfect flavor just missing body, so I will go with my 3rd Irish Red Ale. Was all I wanted in a Red and got the hops perfect, it just didn't last long.

 

[CBXBob]

I dunno, but this Caribou Slobber I'm drinking is way up there, I've got an American Wheat that tastes great but is under carbed. I really enjoyed the Moravian Amber Ale, the NB Pale Ale was great, but over all, my very first home brew, Home Brew Heaven's West Coast Blonde stands out in my mind. It was good, refreshing, and made me a home brewer, you never forget your first home brew. I was nervous, scared, excited, then hooked.

 

[KeyWestBrewing]

My original recipe Badfish IIPA. Just incredible.

 

[basilchef]

My next one. I swear this time.

 

[Hackwood]

Brewery's Best Summer Ale. Every time I pop one I.make my wife taste it and say, "that's a good beer, huh?"

I even told the guys that I usually bring beers to that I wasn't bringing them any because it was too good.

 

[hungry4hops]

My original recipe Badfish IIPA. Just incredible.

Sounds good mind sharing your recipe?

 

[foodplusbeer]

Double IPA loaded with Columbus, Chinook, Simcoe. Denny Conn's Favorite yeast. I think my kegs only got 1 or 2 left in it, i'll post the recipe after I get some results at the contests I've entered it into

 

[WesleyS]

The best so far would have to be my smoked chocolate porter. I'm very happy with how it turned out and it went over really well with my friends.

 

[iambeer]

Sierra Nevada Pale Ale clone (though a bit stronger). Not my favorite beer but the reason it's the best so far is it didn't have any off-tastes that I could detect, and of course it tasted balanced and good. I'm so proud of myself!

 

[Obliviousbrew]

Best beer that I made... the one that I´m making rigth now at least until next brew day

 

[unionrdr]

As of now,I'd have to say it was my BuckIPA. Need to make more...

 

[grahamtwatson]

I call it "Feck Off!", it's this kit from Mountain Home Brew, I throw a full cafetiere of very strong fresh brewed coffee into the fermenter. The name comes from "Father Ted", an excellent comedy program you can still get on Netflix.

Brew it, its incredible. I shared one with the Head Brewer from Blue Point Brewing and he was damn impressed. I also served this at a recent brew festival and had a lot of people coming back for more instead of drinking the 150+ other beers available at the tasting. Enjoy

 

[TheGraeGhost]

Sounds like a good one to try thanks for the recipe..

 

[KeyWestBrewing]

More than welcome. If you brew it be sure to PM me or post your thoughts and results on my thread.

 

[nukebrewer]

Ditto. I like an IPA/DIPA that's on the sweeter side and it seems the only way to get it is to brew it yourself. Every commercial I have tried lately has been way too dry for my taste.

 

[TheCarnie]

So a couple of friends convinced me to make a pot beer, it was a success. That is all I will say.

 

[harrymanback92]

^^im assuming you mean marijuana?

I have plans to make a Mary J Tripple. Care to pm me with any tips?

 

[griffondg]

The ESB I just tapped is definitely in the mix. Very tasty and refreshing

 

[Krovitz]

The last beer I brewed, 1st partial mash, American pale, hop bursted with amarillo and citra. I even got 1st place at a local homebrew competition out of 50 other beers. The bad news is I only have 1 bomber left.
