I’ll have Sophie come in and draw at 6:00 NY time. Unless we have a ton of people on earlier. Someone with better computer skills will screen shot the draw on zoom.
2nd Quarter Brew 2023
- Thread starter Josh Hughes
- Start date
That’s why we’ll take pics haha. I imagine there will be multiple memories impairedHappy days
I'll be very likely asleep by then, or too inebriated to remember
... and the brewer selected is... (drum roll please)...
@Zefram
Bring us a recipe that we'll all (try to) brew in this 2nd quarter of 2023.
Although it is very informal, an ideal recipe is one you have brewed and liked, perhaps your "all-time favorite" to brew.
We've brewed ordinary beers and somewhat strange beers, most are between those extremes.
Once you have a recipe, make it public and let us know about it in this thread. And we're all here if you have any questions.

Ah geez... that's a lot of pressure following up Bunyip!
Let's try this one: https://www.brewersfriend.com/homebrew/recipe/view/1368627/beach-brew
A buddy and I used to make it for an annual trip to a beach in South Carolina, hence the corny name. Now I just try to make it once a year when the weather starts to get nice. My wife, who isn't a beer drinker, even likes this one... probably because it isn't a hop monster
If anyone prefers extract, you can replace the base grains with 3 lb extra light DME and 2 lb wheat DME.
I've always used orange blossom honey. I'm not sure how available that is to our international friends, but I'm sure any sweet and citrusy honey would be a fine substitute. For the lemon, I just take a large one, cut it into wheels, then cut away the flesh and pith (sometimes I have to scrap the pith away with a knife).
I keep threatening to try this with a Belgian yeast sometime. I might just do that this time!
I hope everyone enjoys this one. I look forward to seeing everyone's adaptations and I always appreciate any feedback. Happy brewing and cheers to all!

Looks cool. Something else I wouldn’t think to brew on my own. Thanks!!
Thanks zefram I don't think we've had a blonde ale recipe bloody ripper mate.
I'll give this a crack for sure I'll just use sorghum extract and rice malt syrup but keep the hops honey and lemon additions
Cheers!

I got most of the ingredients (sort of) and I like a blonde ale, so I'll be in.
Got one other beer I want to make first, this can come straight after.
I'll probably go for a Belgian yeast as well (I don't have US-05 anyway )

Well I thought you just might throw Hefeweizen yeast at it

I'm not sure it technically categorizes as a blonde now. It used to have a higher ratio of pale malt to wheat malt, but I cut back on the former a bit. I'm just too lazy to figure out the proper style to call it
I look forward to hearing how the GF version works out for you!

Has anyone started on this one yet?
I got maris otter & pilsner malt
Which would be best to replace the pale ale malt? I was thinking pilsner?
My wheat malt is a bit suspect. All my beers with wheat are turning out much darker than they should be. I even notice it in the boiling pot. I suppose the weevils have now done real damage, although it's now been kept in the freezer
Caravienne? I got amber malt, vienna malt and aromatic malt. And caramalt & crystal?
I think the caramalt is cara 40, so maybe caramalt and using a little less?
Honey? Any type will do? Our local honey is quite dark.
It's definitely going to be quite a different beer from the challenge, but I am trying to stay in the right direction.
Yeast:
I got BRY-97 and a variety of Belgian (dry) yeasts.
Anyone any good suggestions?
I do have Tettnanger though
Depending on my current wheat beer, I may have to buy new. Meaning a trip into town (about 4-5 hours away, so would like to avoid it if I can. On the other hand: I desperately need a haircut....)

@Zambezi Special maris otter is closer to pale malt.
