Brewing and tasting for the win!
I love this beer. I referred back to the original recipe after my recent renaming as 3 broomsticks. It’s great to experiment with some of these recipes and tweak them. Here is a recent tweak.
| Type of Ingredient | Amount |
| Maris Otter | 6 |
| Golden Promise | 6 |
| Flaked Oats | 3 |
| Crystal 120 | 1 |
| Chateau CaraRuby | .5 |
I searched far and wide for a “Pastry Stout” to satisfy my curiosity of what sufficed as such. I wanted a birthday cake stout that resembled one of my favorite beers. Difficult to make, yet savory on the palate.
| Type of Ingredient | Amount |
| 2 Row | 15 lbs. |
| Golden Naked Oats | 1 lb. |
| Opal 44 | 1 lb. |
| Carafa III | 1 lb. |
| Honey Malt | .5 lbs. |
| Flaked Barley | .5 lbs. |
| Flaked Oats | .5 lbs. |
| Chocolate Rye | .5 lbs. |
A new twist on one of my favorite clone beers. I tried out some Bohemian malt that could add a lighter and cleaner flavor than US Pale Malt that I previously used. Came out very well in the end with some East Kent Goldings and Czec Saaz hops.
| Type of Ingredient | Amount |
| Bohemian Pale | 5 lbs. |
| White Wheat | 4.5 lbs. |
| Flaked Wheat | 1 lb. |
| Flaked Oats | 1 lb. |
This is a clone of a favorite from a brewery I receive my grain from. I was able to get some Strata hops and a recipe that is in the spirit of the original beer. This is not a direct clone, but a re-imagining of what I would like the beer to be. A regular west coast IPA with wheat, oats, corn and some love.
| Type of Ingredient | Amount |
| Belgian Pale | 4 lbs. |
| Bohemian Pale | 4 lbs. |
| Corn | .5 lbs. |
| Carapils | .5 lbs. |
| Rolled Oats | .5 lbs. |
| CaraRuby | .5 lbs. |
