Recipe Type: All Grain
Gordon Strong’s Belgian Blond Ale
MEMBERS ONLYI’ve played around with this recipe several times, and like the balance it has now but I always have ideas of things I’d like to try. It’s a fairly simple grain bill, and I like to use Belgian malts (Dingemans, specifically) for the grains.
Odell Brewing Co.’s Rupture clone
MEMBERS ONLYOn scale, Odell uses a hammer mill to reduce the whole hops down to a coarse, dried spice-like material that passes through the pores of a particular-sized grate before being extruded from the machine. They fresh grind just before brewing but due to utilization and batch size this requires 8 hours of manpower.

Conshohocken Brewing Co.’s Glazing Saddles clone

Zoc’s Traditional Lambic
MEMBERS ONLYA traditional lambic from Paul Zocco.
Junkyard Brewing Co.’s Peanut Butter Bandit clone
FREEOne of the largest concerns with adding peanuts to a beer centers on the slick and unpleasant mouthfeel contributions and impedance of head formation/retention due to peanuts’ significant oil content. When compared to other eating nuts (almonds, walnuts, cashews, pine nuts, etc.), peanuts share a similar profile to another nut used commonly in brewing, the hazelnut.
Gordon Strong’s American IPA
MEMBERS ONLYMy recipe is a bit old school since I’m not using the latest sexy hop varieties. I’m just using good old Centennial, which was first called a “Super Cascade” when introduced. It has many of the same characteristics, like citrus, grapefruit, and pine. It’s like talking to an old friend.
