Do you guys have "House beers" that you always make?

[makomachine]

I've had a couple of repeaters, but nothing that has survived the test of time. Too many new beers to try!

Everything in my recipe dropdown are my house recipes and get brewed at regular intervals.

I have a few recipes that I always brew. They may not always be on tap but I always have a few kegs ready to go when I get the hankering.

I brew mostly ordinary bitter. I started with a wider range of ingredients which is continuously narrowing down to the point where I would call the mainstay my house brew with some very minor alterations each time. Variety is also nice, but I do like to have a standard brew as a centre.

Anyway, the beer I now have as my house brew was the only reason I started brewing in the first place!

I've made a kit twice now and I love it so my plan is to keep making a keg of that and using my other corny to experiment with. The reason I'm planning this is my current two taps are not that great so I have to suffer through them before I can rack a new beer and I wont allow anyone to try what's in the keg now since they both suck. Using this approach I would always have one great beer on tap and one that's :fro:

Do you guys do this, do you have some recipes you always fall back on?

I'm just bottling right now, but there are a few recipes I like to keep on hand. One is an Imperial Stout that finishes at around 10%ABV. As a matter of fact, I have about 7 bombers left over from a batch I did in November and have a new batch of the same beer in primary right now.

I also am working on a repeat batch of a chile pale ale made with jalapenos and a habanero. I think that's one I'm going to keep on hand as well. It goes great with a meal, but isn't much of a session beer.

There are a couple other styles that once I start kegging and routinely serve to friends I'll always keep on hand. One is an American style black ale and probably a porter that I haven't decided on as of yet.

I have a couple thatI have brewed several times.

An APA using Amarillo/ Citra hops. very nice.
An amber ale recipe I did that is close to Bell's Amber since I cannot get here.

Those two I try to always have some on hand.

I just did a black IPA that I am considering adding to the list. Everyone loves that one.

I do like to try different things but a few good stable brews on hand is always a good thing.

Variety - way too many beers to keep brewing the same thing....... I figure you can't change a lot of things in life, but I certainly can change my beers.

Nice!

I was thinking about having a nice BMC-replacement always on hand for friends, but I figure, if that's what my friends prefer, they can bring their own! I've only got 3 taps after all!

I suppose I would call my Orange coriander Pale Ale my house brew. It is a version of Blacklab's Cascades orange pale ale. https://www.homebrewtalk.com/f66/cascades-orange-pale-ale-84558/I have made it 3 times now, this last time I made 24 gallons of it, so it will last awhile.

 

[beaksnbeer]

I always keep an IPA (still tweaking the dry hopping ) but it's close, small sample to friends "bitter beer face" know I am close. Bier De Garde and a MaiBock soon to have 12 taps so have room to play with different beers
Well 10 2are dedicated no2 stout taps love'em in the morning and when it's cold 50* or so

[Houblon]

I justed checked and found I did <edit>26 batchs of my Houblon, whats funny is that I have only done 1 batch so far this year.


I tend to always have a Blond, APA/IPA, Saison or Wit and/or a Triple on tap. This yr I've done 5 wits and now will start making saisons, also doing lagers this yr so that takes up space in the beer fridge meaning 1 less beer on tap.


Short reply is yes I brew the same recipes over & over with tiny changes to fine tune each beer.
