Beer.
John Palmer's book has been my bible. I refer to a lot and learn
something new each time.
I had been trying to work my way toward a lighter beer with less
bitterness that Karin would like. My last attempt was a light American
Wheat that turned out more medium amber and full flavored than I expected.
Karin still doesn't like it but I think it is one of my best... and
favorites. That's why I have made it 5 times.

I came across a 1996 article by Rich Webb with replies from Jim
Sims and Shane Lofland. It told me everything I needed to know about
fermentation, sanitation, flavoring and yeast. Thanks to them I was
able to adapt a recipe to my own tastes. Thanks guys.
I found a lot of recipes on the web and was surprised at how many
called for hops. So, for my first batch that's what I tried. I started
small, just 3 gal. I didn't want the syrup-y, sweet kind I've had
before so I left out the extra 4 cups of corn sugar.
My 5th batch is 4 years in the bottle and is light and bubbly.
Very champagne like. I used green tea for bittering and raspberry
flavoring from B3 this time. It turned out great!

This one is blank. It's a compilation of a few different ones I've
found. Some were too detailed. This fits right in at my hobby level.
Maybe in a few years, when I get my own brew sculpture, I will get
more detailed. (See them at the Beer, Beer & More Beer (B3) site.
Wow!) |
