Stonehenge Stein Beer
When you wish for new brewing gear, do you ever wish for metamorphic rocks? You might after seeing this recipe. Here’s a recipe for steinbier — a beer whose wort is heated by hot stones.
Mountain Brew
Jason Pavento wanted to combine his two favorite beverages, homebrew and Mountain Dew. His creation — Mountain Brew — does just that. We’ve fiddled with his procedures a bit, based on our own experimentation, but the ingredients are the same as his original recipe. The beer turns out light and crisp, with some aroma, but not much flavor from the Mountain Dew. And, in case you’re wondering, neither the preservatives or the caffeine seem to bother the yeast. Mountain Brew is also a very easy to make. So, to mangle a phrase from their ads — just brew it!
Jolly Rancher Apple Lambic
Jolly Rancher Apple lambic is a dry, sour beer with the flavor and aroma of Granny Smith apples coming from Jolly Rancher hard candies. This latest version of the recipe is based on the results of three brewings. For best results, let the beer age warm for at least three months.
Sweetgrass Ale
En lieu of dry hops, try adding sweetgrass to make a unique beer with a vanilla-like essence.
BJ’s Millennium Ale clone
A big Belgian tripel from a California brewpub originally brewed for Y2K.
Lammin Sahti
The traditional Finnish drink made with malted and unmalted grains along with Juniper as the flavoring contribution. The juniper branches traditionally doubled as a filter screen to help separate out the grains from the sweet wort.
Sahti and Jalkijuoma
Sahti was made by women across Scandinavia, where the first brew-running called tupulisahti (strong sahti) was given to the men in the village, while the weaker second brew-running jälkijuoma (“nosedrop” sahti) was for the women of the village.
Sticke Alt
Sticke alt is generally interpreted as to mean ‘secret alt’, a seasonal brew from Dusseldorf which was brewed to be stronger than the typical altbier in alchohol and flavors. Here is Matt Cole’s (formerly at Sly Fox Brewing, and now at Fat Heads Brewing) recipe for those looking to brew one.
