Brewing Beer with Honey

I emailed Mike a question yesterday and he responded with an answer. Here’s the correspondence: Question: Do you think it would be nuts to use 2 pounds of honey in my Honey Wheat Ale recipe? Answer: I brewed a honey ginger beer once several years ago, and it had close to 2lbs of honey in it. It was OK, but the [...]

Rice Hulls

The great thing about summer is the fact that friends will come and see you at a moment’s notice. In the winter time, they are slow moving. Visits take planning. In the summer, they are at your doorstep as soon as you hang up the phone. If they visit, they will drink beer. If they drink beer, you [...]

Home Brewing In The Summer

Welcome to Fermentation Friday for June 2009! The theme for this month was “beating the summer heat” when homebrewing. Here are posts from other homebrewing bloggers: Andy posted a comment: I’ve only just started and my batches are small (1-3 gallons) so I can get away with cranking up the AC in my minuscule apartment. I guess [...]

Weizenbock Recipe

I am picking up some wheat malt in the near future for the Honey Wheat. I was thinking I could brew another wheat beer for the Fall…which led me to thinking about Weizenbocks. I think a nice mahogany colored, spicy, malty, dark fruity, beer would be good right around September. I know - [...]

Mash Tun Design

At 9:56am on May 19, 2008, BrewDudes said…: The Extreme Beer Fest is a lot of fun. You have to go with an open mind, since every booth will have something that is "pushing the envelope" of what beer is. You get some great conversations going with other tasters, booth personnel, and head brewers.

At 12:00am on May 17, 2008, Ron Gansberg said…: Dudes, great picts on your system...looks like you have it going. What was the Extreme Beer Fest like? We just had Fred Fest here, it's to honor Fred Eckhart on his birthday(84th). I'm putting together a Sour Beer Festival in late October here in Portland West. If you make it out here, let's heft a pint.
Cheers!
