If you could brew any beer right now what would it be?

[Scubajay]

With a decoction mash is so close it's uncanny - for me anyway. The only way I think I could take it closet would be to work on water chemistry. I have one batch now I've been lagering for 3 months

Live Oak Hefeweisen. Truly exceptional.

Agreed. That's the beer that made me start homebrewing.

I'd like to brew something like Coney Island Sword Swallower.

 

[jamboparty]

Beer!

Great lakes "nosferatu" is on my brew noggin!

Funny... Nosferatu came to mind when I saw this thread, too!

I would love to get my hands on an early colonial America recipe. Something drank by Ben Franklin and the like. I want to use a real recipe from back then though, not some guess work.

That would be interesting. Here's a link that supposedly contains George Washington's recipe:

http://www.marketplace.org/topics/life/punchline/now-you-too-can-drink-founding-father

From that link: "To Make Small Beer

Take a large Siffer [Sifter] full of Bran Hops to your Taste. Boil these 3 hours then strain out 30 Gall[ons] into a cooler put in 3 Gall[ons] Molasses while the Beer is Scalding hot or rather draw the Melasses (sic) into the cooler & St[r]ain the Beer on it while boiling Hot. let this stand till it is little more than Blood warm then put in a quart of Yeat if the Weather is very Cold cover it over with a Blank[et] & let it Work in the Cooler 24 hours then put it into the Cask--leave the bung open till it is almost don[e] Working--Bottle it that day Week it was Brewed.""

Abita Jockamo IPA

 

[lizardeye]

A guy in my local home brew club has done both of these in the last few months. Both turned out great.

I'd love to see the recipe for the Lagunitas!

 

[Mellow52]

Franziskaner Weissbier
and or
Spaten Optimator Doppelbock

 

[eppo]

a Saison....
What a coincidence, thats what i'm brewing today!

 

[DryHoppinMad]

Right now an Ayinger Helles is on my mind. Had it for the first time about a month ago and was in love. That, or Brau Brothers Bancreagie peated Scotch ale. Both are fabulous.

 

[thepartsmancometh]

Saison! Its just so damn springy. But it's too cold here still for the fermentation. My beer room is about 58

 

[Frankiesurf]

Ithaca Beer Co. Flower Power IPA

 

[bigljd]

Russian River Consecration. And I'd like it to be completely finished and ready to drink in 3 weeks or less. And have the finished brew served to me by Victoria Secret models.

 

[jonmohno]

I can brew any beer i want,i would just have to place an order but would have to wait some days to get ingredients but i brew whatever i want thats the great thing about brewing you can brew anything you want. I brew my dream brews every week about.

I recommend a Punctuation Pale Ale for the next session

 

[jonmohno]

Maybe even a Give a Rat's Ass IPA.

 

[BearPusher]

Either a potent RIS or a smooth red ale

 

[Zuljin]

There are two beers that I'm holding off on until I think I'm really really good. Shiner Black Bohemian and Shiner Bock. Okay, three. A barley wine.

 

[Scubajay]

I think I'll brew an Irish red this weekend.

 

[wSelwyn]

I could really go for a Hefe right about now. Or any other summer beer. Got to prepare for the good times ahead

 

[downtown3641]

The Citra pale ale I'm planning to brew on Sunday, if only because I'd much rather brew than go to work.

I checked out your web site, great site. I like the discriptionn of how you grow your own yeast. very interesting.

 

[sweetcell]

This is my first thread and I thought it might be fun to see, if you could brew any beer you wanted to right now what would it be?
So here goes. If you went to your supplies and found that you had the full stock of Moor Beers grain,extract,hops,yest,and equipment in your supply room what would you do with it. Let us know what beer type recipe equipment and tecnique you would use to creat your dream brew.

i'd brew a Founder's Canadian Breakfast Stout clone. first i'd need a recipe, tho, since haven't seen any one that looks convincing.

 

[Scubajay]

I didn't get to brew last weekend. Maby this weekend I'll get to brew that Irish red or an ESB

 

[ShackNasty]

I have had my eye on a Wheat IPA.

 

[Yankeehillbrewer]

I'm really liking this Kolsch I have on tap right now, so I'd brew another batch of that.

 

[spearko520]

i would brew something made out of this lazy ass, pajama wrapped, apple ad chick that doesnt like to clean and can't look out the window to see if it's raining. all to the tune of shake rattle and roll...

 

[Scubajay]

Have you posted that kolsch receipt.

 

[Homercidal]

Anything. Cause that would mean I'm brewing beer, and not at work...

 

[Yankeehillbrewer]

Have you posted that kolsch receipt.

I assume that was directed at me. No but here it is,very simple.....

8.00 lb Pilsner (2 Row) Ger (2.0 SRM) Grain 88.89 %
1.00 lb White Wheat Malt (2.4 SRM) Grain 11.11 %
0.50 oz Magnum [12.90 %] (60 min) Hops 21.0 IBU
1.00 items Whirlfloc Tablet (Boil 20.0 min) Misc
1 Pkgs Kolsch Yeast (Wyeast Labs #2565) [Starter 1000 ml] Yeast-Ale

OG=1.050

60 Minute mash at 149
90 Minute boil
Ferment at 60-62 for the first 3-4 days, then let it warm up to 70ish. I kept it in primary for 4 weeks. The 4th week it sat at 40*, then I kegged it and let it lager a bit before I started drinking it.
