Batch 20 was celebrated as a clone of Dugges “Avenyn ale” that I personally enjoy, it’s simple yet delicious. Well balanced body with citrus and fruity notes makes it perfect for a sunny day, and the lower ABV at 5.0% excuses to drink one more. Unfortunately my batch fermented a bit too well, making ABV […]
Because of my failure with making a white IPA in Batch 15 and the lack of “wheat flavor” this batch became inevitable so here it is, my first true wheat beer! Historically I’ve never been a fan of wheat beer but I guess I started to fancy it half a year ago, otherwise I probably
“Great stroll porter: a porter with hints of caramel, balanced by roasty tones and with classic hops bitterness. A soft but long lasting taste that you can drink a lot of. Max. alcohol: 5.6%.” Doesn’t this sound absolutely terrific? Even with the above summary of the non-official type “stroll porter” it’s a bit diffuse what
I spontaneously picked up a new hops variety “Huell melon” which I didn’t know much about, but it worked pretty well in an American pale ale! When I looked around for hops I found a lot of hops with recipes tied to them, they had a clear purpose but then I found the Huell melon
Ordinary pilsner, but hey, who doesn’t love pilsner? Pilsner has got be the most beloved style, or maybe pale lager, but either way, the style pilsner is so easy to love and enjoy at every moment. So, why not brew one myself? Maybe it’s more surprising that it took me 15 batches until I actually
This is the second recipe I’ve written myself and I chose the pretty uncommon style White IPA. The first recipe I did myself was the Imperial stout in Batch 10 and that one turned out really good, I hope this one will turn out just as good! I fell in love with this style when
New website with the same content but with a much better layout and presentation. I hope the new website will be a lot more pleasant for mobile readers, but of course also for the ones visiting from a computer. The old website will still be online for the foreseeable future but it won’t receive new
Not only is this the first time I do a saison, but also the first time adding berries! I think saisons are interesting but I’ve never tasted one with raspberry, only sour beers so I still had a picture of how it would taste. Saisons should be dry and that’s what I like, together of
A long, lovely brew day completed and the second batch done with the brewing system Grainfather and it’s still a joy to use it! I tried to repair the efficiency from the last batch and change mashing time from 60 to 90 minutes and grain crush gap from 1,3 to 1,2mm but this actually made
Grand premier for the newly invested brewing system Grainfather AND with grains crushed by the brewmaster himself! After I finished ordering the Grainfather and the grain crusher, I was longing so much to brew my next batch. The experience was exactly as easy and joyful as I’d hope for, or even better yet. It was
