2010 American Pale Ale

brock — Wed, 03 Mar 2010 09:31:58 +0000

My first new batch of the new year. With Light LME, Cascade and Willamette hops, and to top it off, 1/2 ounce of Cascade dry hopping the batch. I’ll publish the qbrew files here:

Bitter

No matter how many recipes I try, I always come back to the one I make best, my bitter amber. It’s in the secondary now, and if everything goes right, I’ll drink the first one by the end of the month. As always, here’s the qbrew files:

White Ale

Today, instead of working, I'm building a Hoegaarden rip off. It's an experiment with using the Golding hop, which weighs in at a subtle 4.2% alpha acid, for bittering, as well as a light wheat malt extract. The latter has almost always resulted in failure.

Anway, the usual qbrew files are always here: http://quantifier.org/qbrew/

Turbodog Redux

ken — Sat, 31 Jan 2009 19:20:51 +0000

Austin Homebrew Supply offers several recipes for existing beers available at the market. I am brewing their Abita Turbodog right this moment. I added the yeast fuel and the alcohol booster that are add-ons available before checkout.

I prefer AHS for my brewing supplies because their shipping charges are affordable and their wide selection of ingredients and kits are unmatched. I will have the qbrew file up by the day's end.

I went extra-anal on sanitizing & cleansing this cook, and used bottled water instead of the mud that comes from these Dothan taps.

Dog & Crown Pale Ale

Another week, another brew. I tried http://www.homebrewden.com & had them ship me their Dog & Crown Pale Ale kit. It shipped with White Labs pitchable liquid yeast. I substituted Glacier hops for the Kent Golding aroma hops also. Here’s the qbrew file and here’s the html page.

Simcoe Hops

brock — Sat, 04 Oct 2008 14:19:46 +0000

I’ve been reading about Simcoe Hops, and decided to put them to work in a Pale Ale recipe. They’re particularly popular with Amarillo, if you’re trying to hit a high IBU/btu for an IPA. But I’m going a bit more subtle, as in Dog Fish Head’s 60 minute IPA. So I’m mixing them with Glacier and Warrior, and using Simcoe and Warrior for a bit of dry hopping, too.

The recipe , as always, is available in my qbrew file, here:

Happy Homebrewing.

qbrew files update

ken — Mon, 29 Sep 2008 22:02:13 +0000

For those living on the intersection of open source software, and homebrew beers, you’ll want to

apt-get install qbrew

It’s a homebrewer’s recipe calculator, using QT. I don’t take much advantage of the calculator, but rather use it to keep track of recipes.

Moving on, I’ve updated some of my qbrew files, and converted them both to html, and pdf. They can all be found:

I don’t know why I keep messing with other brews. Look at the IPA (my first, and best work).

For my first post, here’s my no-pumpkin oatmeal stout. Thanks to publix for being out of pumpkin for an entire week. That’s right, three different brands of pumpkin, in two different size cans. Out of stock. Kick my qbrew file here:
