A simple recipe with base malt, 8oz Gambrinus honey malt, 8oz Crystal 60, and 2oz Cascade hops (1oz 60min boil, 1oz for 10min @ 160F). I was going for a balance between the sweetness of the malts and the grapefruit of the Cascade. On initial tasting it had too much grapefruit for my liking, but after another couple of weeks it settled into just the right balance. I got a lot of good comments on this one.
It's sitting on a sculptural piece I'm building for a local hot glass artist. It's round, 5ft diameter. The back of each area (bottom in this photo) will be filled with a piece of custom opaque glass of various colors.
Red Rye Wheat Ale
Sour-sweet soft taste. An unusual but enjoyable beer.
Piwo Grodziskie
Soft neutral smoky beer. The color is a bit darker because I used pale malt instead of pilsner, and it is a bit stronger than style (4.5% ABV). I never drank any other beer of this style, but tried to keep to the rules. Something pretty unusual, but delicious.
Years ago Samuel Adams made a beer called Hopscape, it was a west coast style wheat ale that i couldn't get enough of. This is my clone version as close to it as I ever got.
Pillowy wheat Malt flavors with subtle sweetness accented by pine citrus hoop flavor and aromas with a crisp finish.
This is my Dreadhead ale. It’s a crisp and creamy hoppy amber ale with some complex maltiness complemented by a bit of a dank dry hop aroma. 6%ABV, 32IBUs. House regular here:
Umeboshi solera gose: I took 3 gallons of my first batch of golden sour from my solera project and rested it for a month on a pound of lacto-fermented plums (using the Noma method).
