Ahoy, avast and listen me RWP hearties, here I will be sharing my future projects of homebrewing some lovely batches of me finest brews!
But yeah, I'll do some documenting and sharing recipes as I make them up and try them. Feel free to share your own recipes if you are also a homebrewer or maybe some recipes and photos of any delicious dishes that go alongside beers, wines, etc. that you like.
First on the list, an all-grain brew!
I intend for this to be a pleasant seasonal brew with mild bitterness and refreshing aroma.
Grain Bill
5 Lbs. Weyermann Barke Pilsner
1 Lb. Dingermans Biscuit Malt
Hops (pellets)
0.5 oz. Cluster 45 minutes.
0.5 oz. Cluster 30 minutes.
1 oz. Kent Golding 15 minutes.
1 oz. Kent Golding 0 minutes.
For yeast, I'm just going with good ole' Fleischmann's bread yeast
Starting Gravity of ~1.042, a little lower than expected but that can always be fixed with a bit of DME.
[Update: 10/13/23 - I step-fed some Bavarian Wheat DME to bump up the gravity.]
[Update: 10/18/23 - It's coming along nicely, a crisp taste with balanced bitterness and spicy herbal flavor notes, lacking a bit in aroma. Still got ways to go, needs a bit more time.
I'll keep ya updated for the results. I can also go further into detail if people would like a basic tutorial on how to brew their own.
11/2/23 - Missed an update, I took a reading on the 26th, wasn't moving below 1.020- so I added some sugar(Up to 1.0441) to bump up it's abv and it managed to eat it's way though all of it with some additional sugar. We're at a gravity of 1.015 bringing us to just above 7.5%. It's got a refreshing citrus taste and lightly bitter, going to let it sit one more week just to make sure it's done then I will bottle it up.
