I’ve been tweaking a house ale recipe for a few months now and this is it. This is the recipe that will be a permanent fixture at my house. I’ve brewed it twice, served the first 10 gallons to friends, families and “curious on-lookers”, and just finished the second 10 gallon batch with identical results.

Light and crisp. The IBU’s are on the low side, but there is a nice sweet/spicy balance to the beer. The great fresh taste of a craft ale with an extremely clean finish. This reminds me of what a local craft brewery might come out of the gates with to win over a new market. Very drinkable with wide appeal. I’ve yet to have anyone, even BMC drinkers not say it’s one of the best beers they’ve tasted….period. The secret lies in the name. I moved through Northern Brewer, Nugget and Pearle hops, all in combination with Cascade. Even went with a strict Cascade hop bill, but was just a bit on the tart side for this lighter grain bill.

Once I matched up Centennial as the bittering hop and Cascade as a flavor/aroma hop…that’s when the magic happened.

This is also a simple, hard to screw up recipe. At just around 4%, this is a quaffer. Due to the lighter grain bill…this is easily a beer that can go from grain to glass in 2 weeks (if you keg).

I just brewed Denny's Rye IPA after not getting to brew last weekend. Ended up with a bit less in the fermenter than I hoped for but I guess I did not realize just how much evaporation there would be. I still came away spot on for the OG. Next time I brew I hope I will have my valve installed and the bazooka screen so I can try whole leaf hops.

Just made a london bitter today,1.035 OG-lightest beer todate,hopefully i get at least 3%abv out of this.bottled up an oak porter FG of 1.023 highest finiished gravity todate.Not what i intended.

 

[jberg440]

Brewed up a Wheat today, with a late Coriander addition plus some local honey, I also have some Orange Zest getting infused with some MT made Vodka that i'll add when its ready to be kegged. With a little luck she will be gurgling tomorrow morning and I'll be sniffing an airlock!

 

[campcrew]

Brewed a sweet oatmeal porter today. Starting gravity is 1.045. Hoping for closer to 1.051 b ut this will do.

I got on a roll with several DOH!! moments that left me pitching 15g of re-hydrated cooper's ale yeast (5/30/13,really fresh) on 16C (55.4F) wort at 3:10pm.
It was 8:54 before the yeast I'd swirled up at 15C got to the low end of 16C (60.8F) & pegged the center piece against the cap on the airlock. At least it's finally making some co2...

 

[novaau]

I just finished brewing a robust porter, my second beer (BB kit). Next up- NB Tripel Carmelite.

 

[solbes]

Next up- NB Tripel Carmelite.

I brewed that same kit back in early October (bottled Dec 10). I should get around to trying one here soon. Maybe I'll pop one in the fridge for a couple of weeks. Let me know how yours turns out.

[keg2881]

Can't decide whether to brew a Belgian tripel, the Rebel Brewer What Shortage IPA or the Three Crop Cream Ale that I'll dye green and serve at a friends couples baby shower.

 

[punkrockdave]

Going to brew a rasberry/pomigranite blonde ale. A test run for my step daughters wedding in August.

 

[Snafu]

Doing an IIPA this weekend, got starter going last night. Using a bunch of left over supplies from last year since I have a lot of new equipment to try out on this brew, might as well make the whole thing experimental. Getting it dialed in for some serious brewing next month. Refilling the pipeline baby!

Thinking of brewing a Cream Ale of some sort this weekend, so it'll be ready for springtime. Any decent extract/partial mash recipes anyone could suggest?

Brewing a New Belgium Snow Day clone (mini-mash).

Kids are at school, wife is at work, blues are on the stereo, wort is at a boil and life is grand.
