Brewing and tasting for the win!
An American Brown ale I researched quite a bit and batted the creation back an forth with a few collaborators. I added 4 oz of cocoa powder the last 15 minutes of the boil, then later added a cup of coffee beans and 2 oz of cocoa nibs in the keg. Chinook and Galaxy hops.

Making a different ale than I have made before. I bought some oat malt and it made me quite excited to use it. Oat malt lends head retention and mouthfeel while adding a light haze. I wanted to experiment more with the grain and it added a great quality. I wanted to make this a high abv beer with great mouthfeel using Chinook hops and ingenuity.

A Cream Ale with 2 pounds of strawberry jam. This is an experiment that shows that fruit doesn’t always come out in a beer. Strawberry flavors are very hard to bring out in a beer.
