Wishman Wheat V3 : Batch 34 : All-Grain

November 23, 2011

Brewing a Blonde Wheat Ale My 3rd attempt to make a great beer with unmalted, locally grown, MT Wheat. The beer’s name simply comes from the last name of the guy who hooked me up with the wheat. Clever names never stick as easy as the ones that are the easiest to remember. My first [...]

Fresh Hop Ale 2011 : Batch 33 : All-Grain

November 3, 2011

Fresh Hop Ale 2011 I planted some hops this year!  I’d been wanting to do it for a while, but always missed the very small window to plant in the Spring.  This year I did, and get two varieties in the ground. I planted two rhizomes each of Centennial and Cascade.  I’m not overly familiar [...]

Citra Blonde Ale : Batch 32 : All-Grain

October 29, 2011

Citra ‘Dirty’ Blonde Ale One of my favorite aspects of beer brewing is playing with different types of hops.  It’s amazing how many different types of hops there are, and how unique each variety can be within a beer.  I’d recently had a few beers using a heavy dose of the Citra Hop.  Widmer, especially, [...]

Black IPA : Batch 31 : All-Grain

October 11, 2011

Pitch Black IPA Clone A recent issue of BYO had a whole section on Black IPA’s.  As a huge fan I rushed to try out one of their recipes.  I loved Widmer’s Pitch Black IPA, so I picked that one first.  I was really happy with my first Black IPA, so I had very high [...]

Amber Rye : Batch 30 : All-Grain

August 21, 2011

Amber Rye : Batch 30 : All-Grain I like to make unusual beers.  I’d been developing a fascination with Rye, and I needed to see what I could do with it.  I’ve had a few Rye beers that I really liked, but I’ve had a few more that I didn’t care for at all.  My [...]

MT Witbier Version 2 : Batch 29 : All-Grain

August 13, 2011

MT Witbier Version 2 : Batch 29 : All-Grain As I’d mentioned a while back when brewing my MT Wit #1, I was fortunate to receive a big bucket of unmalted wheat from a friend whose family owns a farm here in MT.  The first round was riddled with mistakes, but ultimately turned out a [...]

Scraps English IPA : Batch 28 : All-Grain

July 27, 2011

The “Scraps” English IPA After brewing a bunch of non-kit batches, I’d started to accumulate a pile of hops and crystal grains. It was time to get some of them used up! I like to use yeast 3 times, if possible, and the third round on my S-33 seemed like as good a time as [...]

Scottish 60/- : Batch 27 : All-Grain

July 19, 2011

Scottish 60/- In my Summer mission for a low gravity session beer, I opted to try out a Scottish 60/-.  I’ve been loving heavy Scottish ales lately, and wanted to see what this super light version would be like.  It’s described as a cousin of the English ordinary bitter, and should be clean with a [...]

Tongue Splitter APA : Batch 26 : All-Grain

July 4, 2011

Tongue Splitter American Pale Ale I try to buy all of my ingredients locally.  I have a great LHBS, and I make a point to see that they get as much of my money as I can spend there.  However, I had an item that I wanted to order from Northern Brewer, so I decided [...]
