2 Comments Published by paranoya April 27th, 2007 in Ale, Keystone Homebrew, Pale Ale, brew notes, extract kit, hops, simcoe, specialty grains, starter

For the last few batches I’ve been doing all-grain but I just felt like doing an extract version. I just can’t wait to taste it.
Starter: Made a […]

Starter
Made the typical starter. Oxygenated it for 1 minute and put it on the stirrer.
I beat the weather!!
Brewed outside for the first time. My burner is like a jet engine. It’s also quite efficient. After my brew session it seemed that I had used next to no propane. The pot […]

Starter
Made the typical starter with my new pyrex flask!! Oxygenated it for 1 minute and put it on the new stirrer. Oh yes, there was flocculation…
Holy Jesus!
Ran a partial mash with the grains. 3lbs of grains x 1.25 quarts/lb of water so 3.75 quarts. Sparged with 3 x 1.5 = 4.5 […]

A little ditty we’re constructing for phDiesel. “Cash Rules Everything Around Me” Ale. Since he’s an accountant I thought he’d appreciate it. I think it’s supposed to be a pale to medium colored ale. We picked up the ingredients from Northern Brewer.

This recipe is my own. It’s a modified version of Keystone Wheat Beer. My modification is 1oz of Tettnang hops for the final 30 mins and 2 lemons zested and added for the final 10 minutes.

My latest kit from Northern Brewer is on its way to my home. I’ll be attempting their India Pale Ale. Why an IPA, well I say to you, why not?
