Hello. My name is Tylor Miranda, but you can call me Ty. I am new to brewing, but I have attended a one-on-one brew day with a local brewery. It was a lot of work, and very fun.
Every since then, I have wanted to brew beer at home. Honestly, being a brewer wouldn't be so bad either, but I have some disabilities that would keep me from doing that job.
Right now I'm studying a lot and saving for a brewing system. I'm formulating recipes based on my knowledge in the food and drink industries. The way I formulate recipes is:
- I see another person brewing a beer or read about a brewery's beer that interests me.
- I find recipes from trusted brewers and home brewers.
- I compare and contrast the recipes, and take what I find smart or interesting and start to build my own recipe.
- I think about the flavors, mouthfeel and body, five tastes, purpose, and chemistry of each individual ingredient and begin to formulate each weight.
- I revisit my recipes for a few days until I can't find a fault in them (on paper).
- I like to compare my beers with BJCP guidelines because the BJCP styles are tried and true drinks based on the world's knowledge and love of beers.
- If a beer is not yet listed in the style guidelines, I turn to the industry to determine a generalized set of rules for how the beer should be styled, then I break the rules if necessary.
Nice to meet you. I look forward to sharing in your knowledge, and I hope to bring something to the table as well. Thank you for your valuable time.
Cheers,
Ty
