Recipes
Weldwerks Brewing’s Transmountain Diversion clone
Like all of Weldwerks’ hazy IPAs, DDH Transmountain Diversion does not include any hops during the boil. The only hops added on the hot side is a minimal addition into the whirlpool. However, the hop load is more than made up for with significant double dry hopping.
Weldwerks Brewing’s Coffee Coconut Stout clone
This imperial milk stout is loaded with toasted coconut and coffee aromas and flavors.
Weldwerks Brewing’s Juicy Bits clone
Juicy Bits is an iconic hazy IPA and makes up more than 40% of Weldwerks’ production. The juicy aroma and flavor is attributed to equal additions of Citra®, El Dorado®, and Mosaic® hops added during the whirlpool and as dry hop additions.
Weldwerks Brewing’s Hefeweizen clone
Weldwerks’ Hefeweizen has a similar grist to traditional German wheats with a mix of Pilsner and wheat malt, but it differentiates from classic styles with a sizeable whirlpool hop addition of Hallertauer Mittelfrüh. A restrained spicy phenolic character from the yeast contributes complexity while keeping it approachable.
Weldwerks Brewing’s Weld Pilsner clone
Weld Pilsner is calculated to be 46 IBUs. This is a Czech premium pale lager, which the Beer Judge Certification Program (BJCP) style guidelines state is between 30–45 IBUs. Being hop heads, of course Weldwerks went over the style guidelines, even if it is only by 1 IBU.
Spent Hop ESB
This ESB is brewed using 100% second-use fresh hops for a mellow bitterness.
Lindgren Craft Brewery’s Monster of Reinvention clone
This IPA is brewed using 100% spent fresh hops for a smooth bitterness.
The Brewing Lair’s BLT clone
A hoppy Belgian tripel brewed with Mosaic® hops added at the end of the boil and as dry hops.
Gordon Strong’s Strong Scotch Ale
This wee heavy strikes a good compromise between strength and drinkability. It uses homebrew techniques like kettle caramelization, but otherwise is fairly true to commercial techniques Scottish brewers use.
The King’s Diamonds
This is a riff on Drew’s classic “Queen’s Diamonds” that’s slightly updated to modern ingredients and a change in history. Note that the efficiency when working with this much grain is lower than usual.
Trans Canada Brewing Co.’s MisBEEhavin’ clone
This extra special bitter blends the sweetness of buckwheat
honey with the bitterness of the hops. As a homebrewer, this prize was an amazing opportunity to learn from the experts. I hope you enjoy drinking this beer as much as I enjoyed making it!
