sssbc99 0 #1 September 29, 2003 This might not get a whole lot of responses but anyways.... Do any of you guys/girls brew their own beer and if so, what are some good recipes you have done recently? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jimbo 0 #2 September 29, 2003 I haven't made anything since I started a mead back in June. I do have a pretty kick ass Brown ale and a Scotch ale in bottles though. Oh, the mead has magically cleared in the last few days. Time to tweak the flavors and bottle. - Jim"Like" - The modern day comma Good bye, my friends. You are missed.

FliegendeWolf 0 #3 September 30, 2003 I just last week cracked open my new Oktoberfest. OK, a little early, but tasty as all hell. In fact, I think I'll go open one now. Thanks for the reminder!

SunWukong 0 #4 September 30, 2003 I haven't really brewed any beer since I was president of our college's beer brewing club. It was a friend who had the magic touch for it. Anyway, my favorite two recipes were Nosfaratu's Return, which is a really strong ale made with lots of grains and something like a half pound of honey, and Cram Session Porter, which is brown porter with half a pound of fine-ground French Roast boiled along with the malt and grains. I can get detailed instructions if you want. Also, any pale ale made with Cascade hops is pretty much bound to be good. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jimbo 0 #5 September 30, 2003 QuoteAlso, any pale ale made with Cascade hops is pretty much bound to be good. Yeah, I used to think that too. Now I'm getting all excited about Columbus hops. Those things are freakin' brutal! - Jim"Like" - The modern day comma Good bye, my friends. You are missed. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
skybeergodd 0 #6 September 30, 2003 I brew my own beer and do about 6 to 8 cases each year....it might not sound like alot but thats alot of work. I have some great recipes for a dark ale and a light english ale....those are my two favorites to make. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SunWukong 0 #7 September 30, 2003 QuoteNow I'm getting all excited about Columbus hops. Those things are freakin' brutal! What's the alpha? Even on a pale ale you can overdo it and end up with something like Hop Devil, which is a decent microbrew but pretty much a one-trick pony in terms of flavor.

Jimbo 0 #8 September 30, 2003 Hop Devil is nasty, IMO. There are better Pale Ales out there, I'm a big fan of the DogFish Head 60 Minute IPA. Anyhow, the AAs on the Columbus hops are usually around 15%. - Jim"Like" - The modern day comma Good bye, my friends. You are missed. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
