Brewing and tasting for the win!
A nice Brown I had previously rounded off the grist bill. I am omitting the 2 oz of cocoa powder I would usually add to this recipe. I later added a cup of coffee beans and 2 oz of cocoa nibs.

A beer I love and hope to keep on tap regularly. Keeping this recipe alive and brewing in a decent frequency. I added more re-circulation to the process to hope for a better outcome than the last batch.

This Irish red ale is a traditional Irish red from the ones we have brewed before. We wanted to do something more traditional to try and find a baseline and build from there.

We looked around for a Wit Beer recipe that would satisfy our Spring thirsts. 2 pounds of frozen raspberries went into secondary on this. A mostly White Wheat recipe with lots of Belgian Pale Malt. We had to get the recipe to get sweet enough to add the tart raspberries and make sure the hops lent their flavor nicely. A half a pound of sugar added to the raspberries really helped this recipe shine.

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.

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.

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.
