Caramel Hard Cider
Making hard cider is actually pretty easy. It’s like brewing beer except for the part where you brew the beer.

It looks like the water in the trash compactor scene in the first Star Wars (Episode IV) when that weird snake thing pulls Luke under and tries to strangle him.
I tried to make a Strawberry Belgian Milk Stout. I’m pretty sure it didn’t work.
A double strength Belgian Wit. A Blue Moon with more balls. It’s like a spicier Allagash White injected straight into your eyeballs.
In which I inevitably take things too far and possibly ruin a perfectly good beer.
I’m hoping for a sweet stout with some spiciness from the Belgian yeast and a tippity touch of strawberry flavor on top.
I’m not sure if I want to call this a White Chai Ale or a Chai White Ale or something else way more clever than that. Whatever it ends up being called, it better be F-ing good because I just spent all god damn day making it.
A traditional Gose is typically brewed with 50-60% wheat, a small amount of hops, and coriander and salt for flavoring. It’s supposed to be a little sour too. You might think of it as a salty/sour Witbier. Actually, you might not cause you don’t know shit, but trust me.
I’m a big fan of sour beers. So I thought, why not set an unreasonable goal for myself and try to have a constant flow of sour beers fermenting so I always have one ready to drink.
I’m not exactly sure what a Homebrew Log Jam is but I needed something that sounded even more “backed up” than Homebrew Backlog since I’ve brewed like 7 or 8 beers since my last homebrew related post. I guess I’ll start where I left off.
Back in April I posted about brewing a Belgian Saison. Well, that one has since been bottled and drank. I think I had the last one a couple weeks ago. The kit I used suggested “cellaring” this one so I saved a six pack for as long as I could, although not in a cellar. I think the last ones probably tasted better but that might have just been in my head.
I swear the idea for having my own site was to have a place to write about web design, music and other things I’ve been doing for a long time but not really writing about. So far it’s looking like a beer blog. Not that there’s anything wrong with that, I’m just saying I realize […]
I’ve been wanting to try brewing my own beer for a while now and this past weekend finally did it.
