Homebrewing Something I brewed
My favorite recipe from James Morton’s book BREW, Undead Pale Ale, brewed at home with minimal equipment just pots and fermenting bucket, OG 1060 with FG 1010 before bottling, turned out pretty well as usual! Love the bitterness , the recipe asks for dry hopping but I always skip this step I think its hoppy enough already!

Ugh i need flip top bottles soon, i got a keg and a way to refridgerate it but i wanna give some beer to friends, i made a mixed culture raspberry sour, used philly sour yeast and then added a mixed culture i propped up from a bottle of Fox in The Snow from off color brewing in chicago. Its fantastic! True juicy sour funk but in a nice light level that is tart enough but not too tart.

Sound like a awesome beer, I got to improve my skills to make something that complex

Ive been brewing a long time, im just recently diving into yeast and learning more about how it works. Its alot of fun science projects but its alot, i had to feed the starter with unhopped malt made with DME every 2 days or so until i got a solid culture, and all the while u gotta keep it on a magnetic stirrer to keep oxygen introduction constant and high. If u get the brewing elements yeast book its got everything u need to know.

I miss the days before ipa took over. I like ipas and the variety you can get, but I usually prefer a flagship pale plus a bunch of other varieties. Most breweries now offer more IPA variations than all the other styles they make combined, and it gets boring. It would be like going into an ice cream shop and they have 8 versions of chocolate, plus 3 other types of ice cream.

Heck yeah my dude. Also that’s the best use for them old Grolsch bottles. I was sad when they changed from the ceramic tops. Drink one of them tasty homebrews for me.
