Fall Brew 2025

[HBT_Admin]

Anyone doing and special fall brews this year? Are you doing anything for autumn at all?

If so, post it up!

About to tap a keg of Oktoberfestbier (in the Marzen variety) this weekend. And will also be brewing a double batch of Amber Ale, not spiced but a good fall beer.

I've got an Octoberfest in the lagering cooler, a Red honey wheat ale in the fermenter to be bottled Friday, I'm brewing a spiced wheat " fireside warmer" this weekend..

Will do my barrel aged red rye ale as I have for the last couple of years.

9.2%, grist about 20% rye malt. Big helping of Red Rye Crystal along with some Munich. Amarillo and Sabro, LAX yeast. Oak barrel staves soaked in Bullet bourbon.

This would normally be the time I start a pumpkin porter. However, I don't drink as much as I used to, and I have two fermenters full of belgian blond waiting to be bottled.

I have a herfstbok lagering now. It's a Dutch fall bock beer.

I'm waiting on my Christmas TreeT Belgian Strong Ale to finish fermenting and I'll be putting it in 12oz bottles next weekend. It's based on about half wheat/half barley and 3 lbs of candi sugar to get to holiday treat levels. I expect it will yield ~60 bottles of 19 SRM, 30 IBU, and 7.5% ABV malty Belgian goodness.

I have a doppelbock that I made for NHC finals, but did not make it out of the first round, that I have been letting age now for 6-7 months. I am thinking of serving that to friends/family and dosing it in the class with Aroma Sciences Brazilian Cachaca Barrel Liquid extract (amburana wood). That stuff is all fall baking spice, vanilla and caramel.. Half a dropper full per glass and they will think they are drinking a pumpkin beer! I sent the previous version of the beer to a comp as a pumplkin beer dosed with 1/3 of a dropper and while it scored a decent 38, it didn't medal.

Would like to do another Tumbler clone (@passedpawn recipe).

Also planning a copper ale in coming weeks.

Starting into maltier styles for sure.

First up is a Munich Dunkel, I have a nice big pitch of Augustiner from a Helles I brewed recently.
