Notes: 2 packs yeast, semi-clone of Sam Adams Double Agent IPL. I really liked that Sam when I tried it, so I put together a recipe that mirrors it pretty closely. The color may be a little lighter, but the IBU's and ABV are dead on as far as I can tell. 4 packets Nottingham, 44g. Or go with Wyeast Cali Lager smack pack and create 2L starter and then pitch. |

Notes: Version of my tried and true mead recipe for some friends who are just learning to brew. This uses 1/3 wildflower to make it more interesting than straight clover honey. I use dry malt extract as a nutrient source and chalk to buffer the pH during fermentation, as I've found this to make my batches very clean and predictable (no stuck fermentations). Typically even a strong mead as this will be very nice to drink in less than 3 months. I try to always use Wyeast Dry Mead as it is very predictable and drops ~100 gravity points, making it easy to achieve the desired final sweetness. This mead will be semi-sweet and should finish around 1.020.
Directions: Bring 3 gallons water plus malt extract to boil, add chalk & irish moss, boil 15 mins, turn off heat, add honey, steep for 10 mins, top off with water to yield full 5 gallons, chill, aerate and pitch yeast. |

Notes: This recipe uses the Palmer Brewing method:
- Make up wort in 3 US gal (11.4L) of cold water (on the heat) using half of the total DME. Heat the water up to steep temperature before adding the steeping grains.
- At the end of the boil add the remaining DME and allow the final hop addition to steep.
- Cool and add the wort to 3 US gal (11.4L) of cold water in the fermentor to make up target volume. |

Notes: Significantly modified from original Midwest recipe in that I added an extra pound of Golden Light DME and did this as a split batch in the secondary phase. I zested and juiced 3 limes which were put in the boil. I left the beer in the primary fermenter for one week. For Secondary I split the batch into (2) 2.5 gallon glass carboys.
For 1 batch I roasted 2 large jalapenos and sliced them thinly. I placed them in a mason jar and added 2/3 cup of vodka (for sanitizing). I let it sit for 24 hours and then poured the whole mixture in.
For the 2nd batch I left the original beer as is.
Let both sit in secondary fermenters for 1 additional week then tasted. The unaltered batch was excellent. The Jalapeno batch was very spicy and had a strong raw pepper smell/taste.
After bottling and sitting for 6 weeks, the Jalapeno batch has mellowed in its pepper taste but still remains very spicy. This will be an excellent beer in a few more weeks.
