Notes: This beer is inspired by a trip to Cologne that I took with my family while visiting Europe a few years ago. After touring the Cologne Cathedral ("Dom"), we stopped in at a nearby bakery for some treats. As we were looking through the counter at the lovely pastries, an old woman behind the counter came around and swatted away the hand of my 5 year old daughter as she was pointing at a pastry she wanted (even though she wasn't touching the glass). I immediately gathered the crew and we promptly left without ordering, but not before telling off this old hag with a few choice German words. Alte Hexe is "old hag" or "witch" in German, so this beer is dedicated to her.

1 packets of WLP029 Kolsch yeast onto old Kolsch yeast cake. This will be fermented under pressure (about 10 psi), so will likely start fairly quickly, but who knows.

Rate: 6/10
Malt Miller Kit

ABV: 7.6%
IBU: 20
Yeast: Lallemand Belle Saison
Attenuation: High 95%
My attenuation: 93%
Aroma: Nelson: Pepper. Clove. Acid. Alcohol.
Aroma: Northern: Unique woody, minty.
Do differently: Less ABV.

Recipe: OG: 1059 FG: 1006 ABV: 7%
Achieved: OG: 1062 FG: 1004 ABV: 7.6%

Notes:
- Elusive Brewing. The finished beer is typically dry and the combination of the hop profile and yeast esters bring a fruity quality. A combination of Maris Otter and Pilsner malt provide the base but Vienna and Munich also feature heavily to help balance the dryness of the high attenuation.
- Alcohol way too high, too strong taste. And the yeast has alcohol as a flavour too.

Do again: Never say no. Dry hopping nightmare. Hops were big but not my thing. Yeast high attenuation meant very dry. Not my fave Saison. BUT it grew on me and…Brew Club really liked it…

Notes: Beer inspired by Lagunitas' "Censored" Beer from years back. Not quite a clone, but close. Recipe adapted from a podcast interview with head brewer. Enjoyed this beer and story from the mid-late aughts. Since it's no longer produced, this is the only way. Hops are tweaked based on availability and lower hop utilization in my setup.

Recipe from podcast:
16 plato starting gravity (1.065), 35 IBU FG 4.5-5 plato (1.018), 156F single mash temp.

74% 2-row
8% malted wheat
10% Munich 10L
6.5% Crystal 60
0.04% Roasted barley 500L - (adjusted up to 0.4% in my recipe, which would be 13g in my recipe.
(adds up to 98%)

hops (amount per 21 L)
0.2 g/L Horizon - 60 min (4.2g) - Subbed Magnum
0.3 g/L Willamette - 60 min (6.3g)
0.7 g/L Willamette - 30 min (15g)
0.1 g/L Centennial - 30 min (2.1g)
0.2 g/L Cascade - 30 min (4.2g)
0.4 g/L Centennial - 0 min (whirlpool) (8.4g)
0.4 g/L Liberty - 0 min (whirlpool) (8.4g)

Wyeast 1968 - (Using WLP002 here.)

Increased all hops by 30-35% in this recipe and bumped up the whirlpool hops given (likely) shorter duration in my setup. Subbed German Magnum for Horizon.

Podcast is The Jamil Show - Can you brew it? (Lagunitas Censored) from 2009 interview with Jeremy Marshall. https://www.thebrewingnetwork.com/post1592/

ferm temp 66F raising to 70 at 85% attenuation, 1.020 FG.
