How many bottles, or how many beers do we brew seasonally?

I tend to brew a ten-gallon batch of something seasonally. For instance, every spring there's a Belgian Witbier (that I sometimes split in primary and throw springtime berries at it), every fall there's an amber lager, etc. This cream ale was session-y and light enough to be a perfect summertime...

With the carb dead-on, this is a fantastic-drinking pale ale. Not really hoppy, corn-forward :-) I'll put this in the regular annual rotation.

This came out of primary yesterday. First blush: It's got a great American beer taste- the corn is there, but not overwhelming. Hops additions where planned well- they aren't absent, but very subtle, in the background. The mouthfeel isn't as watery as a Genny Cream or somesuch, and the alcohol...

I'm hoping the melanoidin will do that for me...

As far as Yeasts go- I'm a fan of Wyeast 1214- it produces a nice "Belgiany" flavor profile that works well with almost any Belgian ale, especially with a wit bier base, which is what it seems like you have going here (minus the Caravienne). It attenuates really well, too, without drying things...

Thanks! I'll make that change for future submissions...

Note the use of the ale yeast- 1056 finished out super clean, and almost lager-like in taste. It comes out very clear in the keg without a lot of finings, about as coppery in color as you can get. I've also tried this with a dry yeast, and it came off with a bunch of weird estery flavors that...

Hey y'all! I'm a homebrewer in NC's Research Triangle. If you're local to Durham/Raleigh/Chapel Hill, and have an interest in homebrewing/commercial craft brewing, I'd love to hear from you. I've several local friends interested in starting a brewing club/tasting group, and it would be great to...
