On Crazy Pils

I was eager to add another Pilsner to my schedule of brewing after adding Pea flowers to my previous Pilsner. I love Lagers and Pilsners. I added some Oat Malt for some extra flavor. Hersbrucker hops for a floral and spicy aroma.

Golden Czech Smash

I had a suggestion to brew a Single Malt and Single Hop Recipe with Golden Promise. I wanted to get the flavor of the Golden Promise malt in my mind, as I had only used Golden Promise in a brief period this summer. I was eager to try it out again. I had some Saaz Czech hops lying around and it turned out great.

Hobo Hefeweizen

I love making this beer and it shows. A large amount of white wheat and a blend of Pilsen and Munich malts imbue this beer with a great flavor. A classic recipe in my eyes for it’s easy drinking nature.

The Chronic Amber Ale

Tap Oat

A filly fledged oat beer with a heap of oats. Malted oats, golden naked oats and rolled oats making a large presence of a favorite grain. So many oats hit you in the face and make you tap oat.

Golden Naked Oats3
Rolled Oats2

Update:

When this beer came out of the tap is was interesting to say the least. A proper experiment deserves an update. Tap Oat developed into an onion ale. Even a dry hopping of mosaic could not save this beer from tasting like French Onion Soup. We will not be trying this again, although it is worth noting too much of a good thing can be bad.

Take the Blue Pils

A pilsner brewed with blue colored flowers to turn the beer a slightly blue color and add an herbal flavor.

Sparkling Cream Ale

Another Cream Ale from the house recipe that combines 2 Row malts and Pilsner malts with a healthy addition of flaked corn. Vanguard hops make sure this tastes great. Cane sugar at 15 mins helps this one gets amped up.
