Beer Style: Pale Ale Family
Bonneville Flats Bitter
“I brewed this beer on a Sunday and served it to my homebrew club the next Saturday. I thought it would still be green at that point, but it actually tasted finished Friday evening. I designed the recipe and procedures to not only yield a beer that would ferment and conditionquickly, but one that would be quick to put together on brew day.”
— recipe author Chris Colby
6-Day Mild Ale
“The name reflects that I needed a large amount of yeast ready in 6 days, so brewed up a batch of mild. I needed to grow enough yeast to make a batch of OG 1.116 barleywine for filling a bourbon barrel. The mild was made one weekend and was racked to a keg the following weekend while the mash was underway for the barleywine. The chilled barleywine wort was then transferred onto the yeast cake from the mild and a little oxygen was added. There was activity in the airlock within about an hour.”

Big Belly Belgian Blonde
Austin Powers claimed that "Danger" was his middle name. After seeing our procedures, you may think we should have named this beer after him. However, once you get your first taste of it, you’ll be yelling one of Fat Bastard’s most memorable lines — "Get in my belly!
Creature of the Wheel Kölsch
The wheat malt is a nod to the past, but this recipe uses every modern technological advantage to produce a clean, crisp, light-colored Kölsch. If the family has never enjoyed any of your homebrews before, this may bring them into the light.
Bergman’s Notorious Blonde Ale
A golden blonde ale with just a hint of raciness in the hops. Follow the instructions closely and this will come off without a hitch.

Late-Hopped Simcoe Ale (Small Batch)
An American Pale Ale, this recipe is for the ultimate short brew day. From flame-on to cleanup is only 90 minutes. Lots of floral, fruity Simcoe flavor and aroma from the 15-minute boil.
Dogfish Head Brewing Co. Shelter Pale Ale clone
Dogfish’s original American Pale Ale and most approachable beer.
Kepler’s Kölsch
Kölsch is a tricky beer style to pull off. Some would say that stovetop extract brewers shouldn’t even think about trying it. Not us. We know that if you take a scientific approach you can do it. However, you need to read these instructions carefully before you brew and follow them exactly.
