Pretty good brown ale
I’ve made this Dunkel recipe multiple times and love it. I’ve shared it with several HTB members and received favorable feedback. This time I used sauergut in my mash and I’m excited to try it.
I’ve actually posted the recipe in the lager recipe section.

I plan on brewing it on Monday. Today I milled the grains, measured out the hops and minerals, and got my RO water. I’m heading out of town tomorrow morning, back Sunday night. I wanted everything all set to go for Monday morning.
Homebrew English Table Ale. Good stuff.
Long time no see!!! That beer looks great.
Just kegged another batch of raspberry hard lemonade that was requested that I take to a camping trip at the end of the month.
Relaxing and drinking my favorite now.
I’m excited to hear how it turns out and what you think of it.
I liked Star Wars a lot better when I didn't need to use my fingers to figure out which Star Wars movie we're talking about.
I'll definitely let you know.
I scaled the recipe to around 4 gallons. I'm thinking about kegging 2 gallons in one of my Oxebar kegs, and then bottling the rest. (God I hate bottling). May be a game time decision.

Out back with another HB APA. A little chill haze, but tastes good.
Greedo Stout from a local brewery by my house. The owner said it’s his “summer stout” so it’s not too heavy. It’s a well done brew!
If you don’t remember Greedo from the original Star Wars movie, here he is getting smoked by Han Solo.

After an afternoon of looking at houses in the rain, I'm really enjoying this tasty cream ale. $1.69/24 oz.
HB Irish Red Ale
Well finally we have something here which is a bit different from the previous pack of Mexican beers. Victoria is Mexico's first beer - since 1865! I have to say, when I did the setup for the photo, I was anticipating another similar Mexican Golden Lager, hence the limes. What poured out of the can was a lovely Vienna Lager! Alright, something different!
So don’t beat me up on the limes, they don’t go with Vienna Lager. It’s really funny, when I was doing the Czech/Austrian/Swiss beer tour, you couldn’t find a Vienna Lager if you were standing on Vienna’s Ringstrasse! Talk about a style that’s nearly extinct.
Not in Mexico though... Mexico is the world’s home of Vienna Lager! There are several of them to try, and today's is a tasty 4% ABV Vienna. Did I say 4% ABV? Yessiree… another low ABV brew. I’m beginning to really think a lot of these are being drank as standard light beverages, as a replacement for other drinks like tea or water. You really aren’t going to get messed up with these, they are super easy drinking, and again, the clarity is stunning.
Flavor is a bit light on the “Vienna” side of things and really if I was blindfolded, I’d say this was another Golden Lager. Possibly this is more of a color tweak than a malt statement, the few European Lagers similar to Viennas were just slightly more Märzen-like, sort of a cross between a Helles and a Märzen and with a higher ABV. This isn’t that. This is much closer to a Modelo or Corona, even despite the slightly deeper coloration. This is so much so that for the heck of it, I squeezed the limes into the second half, closed my eyes and tried to determine if what I was drinking was a traditional Vienna, or something along the lines of a Corona. Results - Closer to the Corona!
So we have a great, easy drinking “Golden Lager”-like Vienna Lager, if that makes sense. It’s great, give it a try sometime, the best of two continents, rolled into one 24 ounce can!
