Notes: (Limited Release)
Misfire! (2014) is an American take on an English bitter. It has a more pronounced hop characteristic from late additions of Cascade and Saaz hops. As the beer warms in the glass, you will notice the flavors open up to a smooth maltiness and a more pronounced aroma.
Misfire! was born out of a mad scientist like obsession with making beer. I saw lonely malt and hops sitting on the shelf begging to be made into delicious beer. Using only left over supplies from earlier batches, I assembled a recipe, a delicious recipe, Misfire! |

http://www.goodbeer.com/big-daddy-ipa
Style: American India Pale Ale
ABV: 6.5% ABV
IBU: 60 IBU
Malt: Two Row Pale, Light Munich
Hops: Columbus, Cascade, Centennial
Availability: Year-round
Formats: Draft, 12oz. cans, 12oz. & 22oz. bottles
Big Daddy IPA is a hop-head's delight, a generously dry-hopped yet surprisingly drinkable American-style India Pale Ale. Poured into a standard American pint glass, the beer is a golden straw color, with tight carbonation and a slightly off-white head that leaves a lovely lacing. The aroma is floral, fresh grass, pine needles, grapefruit, and some subtle notes of fresh bread.
Steeping grains:
Steep grains at 66-70 for 45 mins. Not expecting much conversion... it's mainly for body, flavour, freshness, colour and head retention. |

Notes: Created for a customer based on this post by Morrey on Homebrew Talk: Along with my buddy fellow HBT member Key West Brewing, we exchanged ideas about the best way to create a Margarita Gose without overdoing things, but to create a taste profile that gets your attention.
I started the 5G batch with a basic 50/50 wheat to 2 row base and kettle soured with L Plantarum down to 3.24 ph. I kept the Saaz hop bill low (8 IBU) during the boil following souring. I was generous with a full ounce of pink sea salt and an ounce of coriander knowing I wanted a salty flavor profile with this beer.
The 1.040 beer finished nicely at 1.008 with US-05. First time I made a sour with dry yeast and it worked as well as any liquid like WLP001 or WLP029 I had used prior. I'll stick with US-05 from now on.
During fermentation, I zested 4 small limes taking the green skin with a vegetable peeler leaving the white pith behind. I soaked these lime peels in 3/4 cup of good anjeo tequila to make a tincture. The limes marinated in this tincture for two weeks while beer was in primary.
When racked to keg, I strained the zest and pitched the tincture while siphoning beer to keg. My initial taste was very "limey" but I was lacking tequila depth for my tastes. I next took a cup of the same tequila in a mason jar and added two medium toasted oak cubes. My goal here was to emulate a beer that was aged in a tequila barrel. The tequila picked up a really nice oaky aroma while aging one additional week.
In the meantime while this oak tincture was infusing, I was carbing the keg and sampling. The lime calmed down perfectly and needed no additional adjustments. I then pitched the oak infused tequila tincture and let it rest several more days.
I hate to sound self-serving, but this has got to be one of the best beers I have ever made! The salt balances the lime and the oak is very subtle but adds in with the hint of tequila making this a perfect margarita style. Glad this is a relatively low ABV beer since I can't seem to stay away from it!

Notes: rinse and soak Medium Toast French Oak cubes (2oz before soak) in Cognac (VS is probably the highest grade you want to go with here, just because of cost) in glass jar or other sealable container during entire primary fermentation step. Cubes may soak up enough cognac to lower level of liquid, add liquid to keep cubes completely submerged even though they will float.
When ready to introduce Cubes/chips to the secondary fermenter before racking your beer gently on top of them, remove them from the brandy and place them in a sanitized bowl. Discard or drink the brandy, up to you.
I'd start with 10 days on the cognac and oak. If you feel comfortable tasting without oxidizing from secondary, try it and see if the cognac and oak are coming through. If they've just started to come through, you can probably bottle/keg. Keep in mind that once you can taste the oak in the beer, even in a lighter beer style, it's easy to go overboard on it if you leave the wood in too long; sometimes it's best to pull the beer when you have the flavors rather than going overboard.
If you're having problems attenuating, do what I do, and add the sugar as a thick simple syrup with the cognac oak in secondary. You'll get a bit of a kreusen, but it shouldn't be so big that you'll need to worry about that extra head space, and the sugar should ferment out quickly.
I normally bottle and cork about 25% of this each batch just to see how the flavors develop over time with the slow oxidation of the cork. |

| Notes: A nice small-batch brew, a classic pale ale. Nicely hopped, with great bitterness, and the addition of malt gives it a well-rounded profile. I use this in my Mr Beer Coopers Craft Brewing vessel, which is 15l. Higher efficiencies will fluctuate the ABV a tiny bit. 70% efficiency will net you, on average, an extra 0.5%. |
