OctoBlonde

My initial intention was to make a brown ale. The color came out really light. I’m interested to see how this one turns out, as the grains were similar to other recipes I have liked before. It reminds me of the butter beer recipe I made a few weeks earlier and I hope it has a roastier character. 1 oz of East Kent at 60 and . 5 Styrian Goldings at 20 minutes.

HoeBaanger V2

This was one of the most challenging beers to get to taste right. I feel like this batch really did it justice. I refined my technique and it showed. A 1/2 oz EKG at 45 of the boil and the same for Saaz at 15 and flame out.

Type of Ingredient	Amount
US Pale	8 lbs
White Wheat	4.5 lbs
Flaked Wheat	1 lb

Toasty Bastard

I have made several versions of this and I wanted to make a new spin on an old favorite. Chinook hops were added at 1oz at 75, and .5 at 60, 45, 30, and 15. The hops are why this is a very bitter and the special b really make for a roasty re-thinking of the recipe. Be worthy.

Butter Beer

A lovely beer I copied from a local brewery after they stopped making it. I really missed it and I think I will be making a lot more for the Christmas season after this trial attempt. I was very happy with the result and I hope that the following batches will be just as good. Made with .5 oz of Saaz at 60 and 45 with Styrian Golding at 30 mins in the boil. After boil gravity came to 1.065.

Boys N Da Berry

A different take on the last Wit beer that was more of a fruited Hefeweizen. We used Golden Promise and some interesting malts to help this one get a better fruity flavor. A really foamy Wheat beer that stood out as a great smelling brew. Then we waited a week after it sat on Hefeweizen yeast and added 2 cans of Boysenberry puree to the mix for extra fun.

Type of Ingredient	Amount
Golden Promise	8 lbs
White Wheat	4 lbs
Flaked Rye	1 lb
Chateau Cara Ruby	1 lb

DopFiend

I had been itching to crank out a dark lager for some time. I finally got the courage to try it out. Here is my take on a dopplebock. Nice and roasty. It has been hanging out in the fridge for around 8 weeks and I should start drinking it sometime in September. Lots of Pilsner malts with some Munich Caramel and Crystal 60.

Pilsner – German	10 lbs
Munich Caramel	4 lbs
Crystal 60	1 lb
German Carafa II	5 oz
Melanoidin	.5 lb

HoeBaanger

My first HoeGaarden clone. I brewed it with orange peel and coriander. The pale malt I used was a step up from the ordinary that I usually have for my brews. I wanted to make something special. It seems I did. I need to make another one of these beers. So good! I used Mt Hood hops and Saaz to keep a european flavor with a twist of Oregon.

Type of Ingredient	Amount
Pale Malt	5 lbs
White Wheat	4.5 lbs

Sparkling Cream Ale

I had planned to put a generous amount of vanilla beans in this beer. However, when I tasted it, the flavor shocked me and I just went with it. Turned out great. Used campden tablets to ensure the flavor was on point. Vanguard hops gave it a smooth flavor.
