Recipe Type: Extract with Grains
Imperial Stout
“This recipe was constructed for us by John Strantzen, one of Australia’s most successful and generous homebrewers. We’ve been tweaking it for a decade and seemed to be particularly blessed with this batch — it wasn’t an easy decision to offer up bottles for judging!”
Sierra Nevada Torpedo Extra IPA clone
Sierra Nevada designed this beer to showcase their innovative “hop torpedo,” which is a dry hopping device that controls how much hop aroma is imparted into the beer without adding additional bitterness. This beer features a big citrus, pine, and tropical fruit hop profile.
Otto’s Jacket Pale Ale
A first wort hop recipe. For my first brew with Mosaic™, I decided to pair it with Chinook and Apollo. The resulting beer was pretty fantastic, something Lisa Simpson might liken to Otto’s Jacket (credit to Jack Horzempa for the name). This one clocks in at 57 IBUs, but tastes more like 45 IBUs.
Big Sky Brewing Co.’s Missoula Five-O Chocolate Coconut Imperial Porter clone
Recipe was created by Zoo City Zymurgist member Bill Ruediger, who won the Community Brew contest hosted by Big Sky Brewing Co. The winner of the contest brews a commercial-sized batch at Big Sky. The beer’s proceeds were donated half to the brew club and half to a charity of the club’s choosing. Bill’s winning beer was inspired by a chocolate coconut porter at Maui Brewing Co. fresh off the taps. It took him eleven batches to finally find the winning combination.

Hot Chocolate Porter
Part of our aphrodisiac Valentine’s beer recipe round-up. This recipe is a little sweet and a little spicy, just the way many of us like it.
Strawberry-Chocolate Stout
Recipe submitted to BYO by Mike Moreken. A strawberry, cherry and chocolate infusion along with some lactose, provide a soft character to this dessert-like stout.
Gato Negro
This beer placed second in the PALEALES homebrew club’s Valentine’s Day themed homebrew competition. “It was a black beauty of a beer with a thick, café au lait head and a rounded milk chocolate flavor.”
Brasserie à Vapeur’s Saison de Pipaix clone
Vapeur’s saison is orange/amber, darker than most saisons. It is also more heavily spiced than other saisons. A slight tartness, relatively low ABV (as Belgian beers go) and dry finish keep the beer eminently quaffable.
Tudor Beer
Recipe author Terry Foster comments on his Tudor Beer, “Overall, it was a good crisp, fresh-tasting session beer, resembling a low-hopped version of an English summer ale. This is not so surprising when you consider that in 1503 this beer would have been in competition with the maltier and probably sweeter unhopped ale.”
