[GI-John]

11.5% Heavy Scottish Ale is conditioning nicely.
Mirror Pond Clone is In the Keg

What should I Brew Next?

 

[BrettM]

Hmm, a strong scottish ale... got a recipe? are you all-graining?

do a belgian next. the yeasts like the warmer temps, as if you need an excuse...

 

[GI-John]

No all grain yet....still playing with Yeasts and reculturing...but it IS in the near future....

 

[XJLaredo]

I say go for the Bavarian Hefe.

 

[BrettM]

well my first reply was before the poll was up, and I voted for the oatmeal stout. I know I said Belgian, but I don't like the witbiers. If a Belgian dubbel or tripel was on the list, I'd be voting that for sure.

Can we say Bud weis EEEEEEER

Or go with a good Belgian Dubel. I hear good things.

you got a new job, now get over to BJs and have a Westmalle damnit!

 

[PDeeXJ]

Oatmeal Stout for the win. What size batches do you brew? ...Or a nice Kolsch for NWFest

 

[twardnw]

Hefe takes the lead

Someone in the club is trying a bavarian hefe. Dependent upon the yeast, are you going for banana flavor, or clove? Because, they seem to be on seperate ends of the spectrum.

Banana.

Might even fire up the Kettle and do a batch or 2 today. A Weizen, and Father's Day IPA. (I'm turning into a Hophead.)

Interesting to see this from the guy who, when we first met, declined my offer of SNPA in favor of his Miller Lite.

Can't go wrong with an IPA or a partial mash oatmeal stout. Just secondaried the oatmeal stout (NB kit) we brewed at Brewfest, and it's tasty already. I'll be doing the same for the Extra Pale tomorrow, may dry hop it a bit.

Another interesting Belgian type is the Hoegaarden clone. Done three batches now, all have met with the original MWC brewmeister's approval.

:cheers:

I agree, my tastes have definitely changed. IIRC, I also downed 3 or 4 of my piss beers to your one.

I just wish that I would have been able to brew with you guys.

P.S. Tell BJ I said yo!

Can I get a copy of the Hoegaarden clone recipe you've used? the Chimay red-label clone is in the secondary and I need something to start next weekend.

It's from "Beer Captured" pg 53.

Lots of excellent recipes in there, but if you don't have access to a copy, let know, and I'll see what I can do...

I don't have it (i only have Papazian's joy of homebrewing) but the local homebrew store has a copy for use, I think that's actually the same one we got the Chimay red clone from.

thanks
