A pre-prohibition lager. Why? Because it's a style my father asked for and he gave me the freezer I'm converting in to a fermentation chamber to make it in.
I posted Al Capone's prohibition lager a couple times, if you're interested?...

This morning I'm brewing the "Fresh Squeeze" clone from the Brewers association web site.http://www.homebrewersassociation.org/homebrew-recipe/deschutes-fresh-squeezed-ipa-clone/
Because I'm getting low on home brew and I like that one. Hopefully it'll be somewhat on the mark.
I have no confidence as a new brewer that I could make something that would come close to a Guinness this year, but next year, more likely next year.
What's the recipe you're planning? I'm brewing a Belgian pale next as well with some top cropped 3522.
Trying to decide if I should do a batch of BierMuncher's Centennial Blonde Ale or take a crack at my first lager. I'll probably end up doing the blonde ale because of the much quicker turn around time. My last four batches have been a hefeweizen, a chocolate stout, a robust porter and an English bitter (along with a couple wine kits). It's about time I made something I can offer "normal beer" drinkers.

I think I will do a Maibock. I'm enjoying layering high gravity beers for some weird reason. It's as if the bigger the stockpile is the cooler I am.
Excellent! I'll have a look.I posted Al Capone's prohibition lager a couple times, if you're interested?...
You certainly won't regret the Centennial Blonde, it's a fantastic beer!Trying to decide if I should do a batch of BierMuncher's Centennial Blonde Ale or take a crack at my first lager.

Edit: Where would I find it? I searched Capone in the database and came up empty.
Nice. I hope it turns out well for you!I was aiming towards De Koninck but I've yet to get anything close to what they offer..
I generally try to glean what I can from BLAM and read up as much as I can on a specific beer if I'm trying to brew something in that style,I've had a hard time finding information on that beer that I trust..
That being said I came up w/ a recipe that is as follows :
Batch Size: 6.50 gal
Boil Size: 10.66 gal
Boil Time: 90 min
End of Boil Vol: 7.28 gal
Efficiency: 72.00 %
Est Mash Efficiency: 77.5 %
8 lbs Pilsner (2 Row) Bel (2.0 SRM) Grain 1 62.5 %
2 lbs Munich Malt type II (9.0 SRM) Grain 2 15.6 %
2 lbs Vienna Malt (3.5 SRM) Grain 3 15.6 %
8.0 oz CaraBelge (16.0 SRM) Grain 4 3.9 %
5.0 oz Melanoiden Malt (20.0 SRM) Grain 5 2.4 %
2.00 oz Saaz [3.00 %] - Boil 60.0 min Hop 6 18.8 IBUs
1.00 oz Saaz [3.00 %] - Boil 30.0 min Hop 7 7.2 IBUs
I Came up w/ the recipe based on what I had on hand,I have a sack of Pils and no pale and a bunch of ingredients for a Biere De Garde I didn't brew so I went w/ it..It will be quite drinkable however I have very little expectations that it will be anything close to De Koninck.
I had some Melanoiden on hand and used that rather than buy some aromatic and I had some cara belge I wanted to try,not sure the % in this recipe will be of great impact....At any rate much of those aren't listed as ingredients from any source regarding the beer,hence the De Koninck (ish) designation.I only meant that in regards to them both being BPA's and using "their" yeast.
butternut squash ale
I'm intrigued. Tell me more. Am I correct in assuming it's similar to a pumpkin ale?
