What's your next brew

Thanks Ben,

I did a wheat beer a couple months ago (with Voss) that had just a hint of ginger and turned into a very nice summer beer.
I want to semi-replicate that one.
I hope it is still hot enough :)
(That was my hazy cheapskate with 1/3 pilsner malt and 2/3 flour)
 
Interesting I rekon that'll round it out perfectly.

I'm gunna do another Ginger beer myself more ginger but less honey /alcohol lol oh and I'll throw in the homemade Amber candy sugar and see what happens.

Your not using thr darker Porter Candy Sugar you made the other day?

@Trialben Bunyip for me as well.

There were a couple of substitutions there, as the LHBS didn't have the Veloria Schooner or Talus.
Subbed the Schooner with 70% Maris Otter and 30% 2-row. Also 90 L crystal, standard Munich light, and plain white wheat.
For the Talus, I figured some Northern Brewer and a little more Mosaic would get me pretty close.

My version of the recipe is HERE.

Once my Kaltrauch gets kegged to lager it'll be up, well before quarter's end.
 
Got the ingredients for another Bunyip brew tomorrow. This time with Columbus and Cashmere hops. It's great recipe for using up my freezer hops!
Use ‘Em Up is what I have in the fermenter, ready to bottle. My mind has been consumed with snow skiing lately, so my brewing has been on the back burner. Might be time to make another batch of Janet’s Brown Ale.
 
Next up will be the one I called COVID Operation.
It is a 6% NEIPA with some (but not too much) lactose, and some dried tangerine near the end of the boil.
It was by far the most popular beer I ever brewed, the beer snobs, and the light fizzy lager drinkers all loved it.
Maybe I brew it but don't really advertise it so it lasts a while...

You have the recipe handy? This sounds good, but instead of tangerine, I'm thinking maybe some fresh satsuma essence and juice for the citrus. That'll be something unique to an Alabama based beer, and a shout out to a small town (Satsuma) that's more a suburb of Mobile. My neighbor and I both have siblings in Mobile and can get fresh satsumas pretty cheap (as in FREE). Maybe tweak my Frankenbeer with some kinda citrus for a summer drinker, so push the alcohol down a little to. 6.5% might be a bit heavy to have for lunch and then go crank up the power tools again.
