Following up to the question over at Monday Night Brewing. My first beer I ever had was a Luke warm miller lite. It sucked. You note that I so disrespected that beer that I refuse to even capitalize it. I am a cold blooded man, do not cross me.
Quick side question, if your child asked for a drink of your beer be it brewed at home or commercial would you give them a taste? I have a few thoughts on this just curious what others think.
There are a Couple beers that need to be brewed before rolling into the summer.
Watermelon Wit – Brewed two weeks ago. This is a cross between my Wader Patch Wit and the Watermelon Wheat. I think I am going to name it Watermelon Patch.
Tasty’s APA (Recipe here)- Hoping it is similar to the NEW Lord of Dogtown from Lagunitas, which is a pale ale with VERY crisp hopping. Probably ferment this in the low 60s to try and keep it as clean as possible.
Bear Republic Hop Rod Rye – Simply love this beer. Rye forward, smooth, hoppy.
Additionally there is a good discussion from Nathan Smith over at the brewing network with some notes on his take on water profiles for IPA’s should be.
In addition to Jon Palmer’s book this is a great resource for adjusting your water chemistry. VERY simple to use.
