My session porter. I have about 1 or 2 good mugs of it left in the
keg, so I need some more. If I can get a second brew in I'll go with
my favorite bitter recipe but use the Pacman yeast I bought.

Going to visit the local HB shop www.pointbrewsupply.com to see what
festivities they have planned--maybe a sale item or two??? Pick up the
ingredients for a try at an Anchor Steam Clone now that the basement is
cooling---gonna cook a case of ribs Sunday for the football/race imagine the
vultures will hit the beer supply pretty hard so have to start to replenish
the basement shelvesQ

Care to share your fat tire clone recipe? I plan on making one in the
next week or two.

Im making my first red...

I just modified a pale ale recipe, more dark grain, less IBU's. The
rice is just to bring the gravity up a bit, anyone think that will
impact it negatively?

10# 2-Row
1# 60L
1# 90L
1# Rice
.5# Cara-Pils

.25oz Chinook 60 min.
.25oz Cascade 30 min.
.25oz Perle 30 min.
.25oz Simcoe Dry

OG 1.073
IBU's 20.3

Any comments on this recipe?

To my thinking, a Red implies SpecialB malt, no? I've also heard that SpecialB is the same as Crystal 120, so your 90L is probably
pretty close. I add rice once in awhile to increase the gravity. I'd recommend a cereal mash for the rice with 1-2 lbs 2-row as it helps
conversion and preventing sticking during the cooking of the rice. With only 1 lb though, it may not be a big deal.

My other thought on this recipe is that it should probably be mashed fairly high. The 60L and 90L to me seem to add a kinda "dry"
harsh sweetness, as opposed to a nice malty character like one gets by mashing higher and/or using Vienna-type malt.

IMO, SpecialB and Crystal are definitely not the same thing. SpecialB
is generally known for a raisin-like flavor, it's more of a specialty grain
for belgian styles.

Out of probably 20 recipes I looked at in the red ale section on The
Recipator, only one had SpecialB in it and that was a 1/4lb in 10 &
3/4 lbs of grain. There may be others with SpecialB there I just got a
quick idea when looking. This recipe has an estimated SRM of 16.7. I
dont know how red or brown this will end up we'll see.

Anyway I didnt get around to making it this weekend, but I did get all
the gear cleaned and ready to go, so tonight is brew night.

Then my first Belgian wit tommorow night.

Sure that one wasn't a Flanders Red (aka a Belgian) and just misplaced
in the wrong category?

The standard trick I've seen for getting the red color in a red ale is
to use a handful of black patent. You won't get much flavor from a
tiny amount of it, but it'll give you enough color to give the reddish
tint to the beer.

Nope, it was the "Irish Red Eye Rye Ale" recipe.

Unfortunatly, I dont have any black patent on hand and cant really
change the recipe much now that the grains are all milled together.
We'll see how it turns out. It should be just fine even if not very
red.

OMG. Dopplebock?!?! That is some serious OG. 60 IBU just seems too
bitter for a Bock of any kind, but the guidelines say 26+ so... Damn.
That is one big beer. You using lager yeast on that beast? If so,
what kind?

I'm hoping today (Sunday) is brew day. Well, kit brew day :-) I've got
a Blackrock Miner's Stout kit, a kilo of Muntons spraymalt and I purchased
a sachet of Safale S-04 Ale yeast to use instead of the kit yeast. I'm
just hoping this dull throb in my right side is not my appendix!!!

Big doppelbock, SG 1.104. Around 70% Munich, 30% Pilsener. 60 or so IBUs
Tett.

Stylistically, it's really more of an Eisbock (and actually it's more
like 55 IBUs). The bitterness is pretty much required to keep a beer
this big in balance. Much less, and it ends up being cloying.

I'm using WLP 802 (cake from a previous ferment), which I've used in
beers up to 1.095 in the past, so I'm rolling the dice a bit here.

Thanks. I don't relish the thought of spending time in hospital,
especially here where health insurance only covers two thirds of
the cost! More so when there's beer to be drunk and made. The
food in the hospital has got to be bad too, I don't like fish!

In the end, Sunday wasn't brew day. I spent all day fighting
with a spare PC that I was setting up for my youngest to play
an occasional flight sim game! Drivers from the makers site
for sound and network didn't work so spent most of the time
hunting round the net! ^&%^%$R windows!

Looks like brew day will be postponed till Thursday, unless I'm
in hospital of course :-)

Saturday I participated in my homebrew club's
"American Hop Experiment." We split 130 pounds of
grain between five large mash tuns, collected all
the wort in a huge kettle, then split it off into
ten five-gallon batches for the boil (done in
two shifts of five), with each kettle hopped with
a single variety. We made sure to get this year's
crop (from Dave at Freshops).
I chose to babysit the Chinook batch. It's
bubbling away in the fermenter right now.

There was some talk of maybe writing something
up and shopping it around. I suspect I'd be the
one to take point on that, though, and I don't
really know what types of things magazines are
looking for.

I'm a member of the Zymurgy content subcommittee of the AHA Governing
Committee, and I can assure you we'd be interested! If you want to
write it up, email me and I'll put ya in touch ewith the correct people.
