Cali IPA

Hobo Hefeweizen
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.

| Flaked Barley | 1 |

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.

| Crystal 120L | 5 oz |

Pretty Rye for a Wit Guy
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.
| Type | Amount |
| White Wheat | 6 |
| Belgian Pale | 4 |
| Rye Malt (US) | 1 |
| Crystal 15 | .75 |
| Crystal 30 | .25 |
