12:11, 12 February 2024 James Wilson talk contribs created page Green Run (Created page with "<big>'''By Ian Cosier'''</big> Recipe is part of Recipe Index '''BJCP 2021 Style 12C English IPA''' I’ve been wanting to brew a wet-hop beer for ages and finally got the chance this year. My harvest was pitiful, but a neighbour offered me her bumper crop of Fuggles and Cascade. The smell as they all went into the whirlpool was incredible. When young the beer is silky smooth and has some unusual fruity flavours that you might not immediately associated with the h...")

Not entirely sure why as I’m not really a huge lover of smoked beers! Anyway, after it being sat around for a few months the time came to actually brew something with it. This recipe is a simple smoked Helles with a light smoke to the aroma and fla...")

I wasn't a big fan of the beer for the first couple of weeks after kegging, but then the harshness of alcohol and bitterness rounded out and I couldn't stop going back to it. == Awards == ''' Welsh National Homebrew Competition 2023 (Ma...")
15:07, 12 September 2023 James Wilson talk contribs created page Black Habsburg (Created page with "'''<big>By Jacques Marais</big>''' Recipe is part of Recipe Index '''BJCP 2021 Style Imperial Stout''' An imperial stout winning silver both at GBBF ‘23 and BrewCon ‘22. The name was inspired by royalty. The recipe is based on one I found for Rasputin from North Coast brewing and makes an easy drinking, yet complex RIS. The 2:2:1 ratio of Brown:Chocolate:Roasted barley is now a go to for me and works for any stout in my opinion. I added some dry yeast at the...")

It's based on Malt Miller's Twisted Stout recipe but using LALBREW London yeast and whole hops, reduced from the recipe to aim for 30 IBU. The result came out more like a porter than a stout, but that didn't matter as the GBBF category covered both. == Awards == ''' Great British Beer Fes...")

Glad I finally got it right after 7 attempts! That said, I think next time I will pull back on the Special X and replace half with standard crystal. It is based on Mann’s Brown ale but has some modern twists (non-native malt and strange mashing procedures!). I think you could probably push it a bit more with the hopping – next time I will try using something more exotic. A...")

And low temp grilled it to dry it out. I guess now air fry would work too. Once it was as dry as poss without burning it, used a bullet kitchen appliance to grind into a dust… we called it “pig glitter” We then soaked it in good quality high strength vodka for a week or two, that took several goes at filtering out which left as clear as possible (one full bottle of vodka reduced to effectively say a th...")

Worth the effort though. I like the wheat character, so use wheat as a base malt. A three vessel system is almost essential as it’s difficult to do a turbid mash and big boil with an all-in-one brewery. == Awards == ''' Sour and Session 2023 (Phantom Brewing Co, Reading)''' 1st - Belgian & European Sour == Meas...")

I include this recipe with a little hesitation as it was far too bitter when I brewed it in 2019 and has taken 4 years ageing for the hops to calm down. If I brew it again I will definitely tone down the IBUs to 80ish. Looking at my grain bill I suspect I was finishing off some malts, b...")

Like we do, I tweaked it to my preferences and the rest is history. I think it is perhaps slightly too roasty and could do with a touch more sweetness, so that is what I’ll aim to do next time I brew it. == Award...")

I’d never brewed a smoked Czech beer before and I’d never heard of anyone else doing so, but the name was too good to leave so I had to build a beer around it!
