|
| Batch | Status | Started On: | Ready On: |
| Toasted Nut Brown Ale [details] My first nut brown ale. I had to toast a pound of 40 degree Lovibond crystal malt to boost the nuttiness of the brew since I didnt' have very much 60 to use. |
Secondary | 6/13/04 | 7/10/04? |
| Pirate Porter [details] Another attempt at a Porter, since my last one was a bit of a disappointment. This one will be good, though. Arrrgh! |
Kegged | 6/6/04 | 7/3/04 |
| Steve's Pale Ale '04 [details] Further refinement on my pale ale. New ingredients, new equipment, new formulation. |
Kegged | 5/30/04 | Now. |
| Stout [details] What more can I say? Nothing beats a black, roasty soul-quenching stout. |
Kegged (yeah, it took me a while) |
8/31/03 | Now. |
| Retired Batches (existing only in my memories, a piece of paper, and the inkling to brew another batch just like it!) |
| Steve's Pale Ale [details] An original recipe attempt at the classic pale ale style. Final evaluation: upon further research, this batch ended up most like an American Amber, which is still a pale ale. With possible minor tweaks, this recipe will be brewed again. |
| Yer Avridge Bitter [details] Recipe from "Pale Ale" by Terry Foster, first edition, pg. 113. Final evaluation: very good. A little light in carbonation, but overall a nice smooth beer, except for the slight presence of a dry/slightly bitter (different from hops) aftertaste-- most likely due to the added gypsum. I would leave this out next time, or at least reduce the amount. |
| A Pale Copy [details] This is what you get when you have to make a batch of beer! A variation on Steve's Pale Ale to see where I can take a pale ale. Final evaluation: very good. This came out very similar to the pale ale it was based on, but I can't recall specific tasting notes at the moment. I still have a small amount left, but plan on finishing it up before the new brewing season starts on Memorial Day weekend. |
| Steve's Porter [details] Original recipe, but based heavily on recipes in "Porter" by Terry Foster. This batch turned out very poor. Not quite as black or roasty as I wanted, and I had carbonation issues (I used Prime Tabs for the first and last time-- artificial carbonation from now on!) so the beer was left undercarbonated and sweet. I still have about a dozen bottles left, but I'm considering this batch retired. |
