Recipes
Recipe-type: Partial Mash
Habanero Stout
Perfect for celebrating Saint Patrick’s Day in Tijuana, this dry, black stout will drive the snakes out of any place you want. Roasted barley goes well with hot peppers, if only you let it.
Crazy Ed’s Cave Creek Chile Beer clone
This recipe is an attempt to clone Cave Creek Chili Beer, which was originally brewed by Crazy Ed’s Black Mountain Brewing in Cave Creek, Arizona with a chili pepper placed in each bottle. This golden lager looks harmless enough (unless there’s a chili lurking in the bottle!) but if you’re not careful, that hot stuff will reach right out of the glass and tear your throat open!
Classic Rauchbier
This is a Bamberg-style reddish lager, sweet and substantial like a Marzen, with the distinctive smokiness of a beechwood fire.
Peat Smoked Wee Heavy
This is a big, rich, malty and strong brew – the smoke, although present, seems restrained compared to all the other flavors.
Vermont Pub and Brewery’s Smoked Porter clone
Vermont Pub & Brewery smokes their own malts over apple, maple, and hickory woodchips to recreate this 17th century style robust ale. You can smoke your own malts, or buy rauchmalt as an alternative.
T&R Theakston Brewery: Old Peculier clone
The beer that made Masham, England, famous, Old Peculier is rich, dark and smooth tasting, with a character all of its own. Glorious, rich, full of flavor, but hard to come by.
Rogue Ales: Hazelnut Brown Nectar clone
A nutty twist to a traditional European Brown Ale. Dark brown in color with a hazelnut aroma, a rich nutty flavor and a smooth malty finish
Mendocino Brewing Co.’s Red Tail Ale clone
One of the classic and original American Amber Ales.
Smoked Maple Brown Ale
“Kick Save, and a Beauty…” by Scott R. Russell I had a fairly athletic upbringing. All of my male relatives were sports fans, and I can’t remember ever not being one myself.
Rosemary IPA
I have an alter ego, a secret identity, in short a day job. I’m a high-school French teacher. Pretty mundane, sometimes, but that’s one of the reasons I make my own beer.
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.
