“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

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
American pale ales (APA) are usually very fresh and delightful, so why not make another one? The SMASH I did in Batch 6 was really good, but this time I did a recipe with a bit more advanced malt and hops scheme. With the heavy stout as my last batch fresh in mind, I didn’t
I decided to make this beer during spring so that I could save a bigger 1 liter bottle for Christmas, just to see how it would taste after some storing. I was very happy with my last stout Batch 2, despite not reaching the desired OG so that’s what I aimed to fix this time.
