Recipe Type: Extract with Grains
Smoked Wee Heavy
Long, slow, and cool fermentation is a crucial element for this beer, which otherwise gets too fruity and bitter; the smoked malt can develop fusel and/or sulfury notes if overdone or if fermented too warm. Hop levels are deliberately low; this beer is all about malt.
Cyserale
Partial mash with honey and fruit juice.
Braggot
Golden colored, full-bodied, smooth, and rich. An ale to be aged well, saved for special occasions, and even then to be savored slowly.
Choctoberfest
I vant to drink your beer…
Charlie’s Gouden-Plenty Pils
Licorice root provides a refreshing herbal spice for this Pilsner base beer.
Christmas Present Olde Ale
This ale is (loosely) based on a recipe for a barleywine.
Haystack Wheat
A Belgian wheat beer base with equal parts coriander, cumin, ginger, wintergreen, and star anise; ground and mixed thoroughly to add just a hint of spice.
Yarrow Pale Ale (YPA)
This recipe for a YPA came to me one summer afternoon after mowing the lawn. Yarrow, thyme, and savory have spilled out of my wife’s herb garden to become part of the lawn in one place, and they inevitably get mowed along with the dandelions and weeds. The aroma was amazing, and so is the beer.
Black Steam
A steam beer seems like the perfect style to schwarz-up. Here is a recipe to get you there.
Helles Belles (pistachio helles)
A bright lager, fortified with nuts and grain alcohol… who knew?
Winterbock (Wintergreen Doppelbock)
The bright flavors from wintergreen combined with a solid Doppelbock recipe…you’re welcome.
Milk Chocolate Marzen
Chocolate-shake Marzen? Why not? Lactose sugar and a healthy dose of cocoa powder and fat free chocolate syrup provide plenty of milk chocolate experience.
