Great recipe: simple and produced a really delicious best bitter that was very true-to-style. Would make this one again. Might consider dry hopping with 12g Fuggles to lift the hop aroma but I don't think it's really necessary.

Notes: Steeped grains for 20 minutes before boil.

Made a yeast starter.

Primary temp fluctuated between 17C and 21C. Maybe down to 16C - winter temps. Fermentation not visible until 48 hours.

Primary for 12 days, not sealed. Opened maybe 6 times total to check fermentation.

Transferred to secondary with racking cane. First time unsuccessful, so I had to refill siphon with sanitizer and do it again.

Bung was still wet when attempted to put on. Pressed it too hard and it entered carboy. Temporarily covered with unsanitized aluminum foil for 24 hours.

Boiled 300ml of water and added 1/2 cup corn sugar (dextrose). Worried about 1 gallon of headspace in secondary. Added dextrose and installed bung and airlock. Filled airlock with vodka.

Bottled on 02/19/2014.

Update: 07/22/2014. Forgot to take tasting notes :(. But I remember it being really good despite my conceived screw-ups.

Notes: This remarkably robust porter stands tall among the competition. Constructed of an intricate blend of caramalt, chocolate and lager malts, this deep brown beer is full bodied and rich in flavor. Hints of toffee and trace notes of chocolate are just a few of the attributes that define this well balanced brew. The Black Tower is a well crafted monument of strength and beauty.
-Mr. Beer

What can I say other than Wow. Everything was DEAD on with this. Carbonation just about blew my face off when I popped the swing-top. Real malty flavor and smell. Thick creamy chocolate head. Very light bodied and extremely easy to drink, Not as heavy as some of the Porter styles I've had in the past. Delicious.Very proud of this recipe.

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!

Just wanted to share........:mug:

Notes: Inspired by an article on archeological finds from 1957. Patrick McGovern describes residues found in drinking vessels in what might be the burial site of King Midas of Phrygia, 8th century BCE, as containing "a highly unusual mixture of grape wine, barley beer and honey mead"

https://www.penn.museum/sites/biomoleculararchaeology/?page_id=143

Malt type and grape cultivar were not chosen based on any historical data, but on the author's taste. It's also a first attempt. Hops as a more affordable bittering agent was chosen over pure saffron for economical reasons.

The first attempt went down to 1.013 SG as opposed to the 1.026 Brewersfriend estimates.

Notes: Ferment 3 weeks, after primary fermentation begins to slow (around 3-4 days) add simply limeade otherwise fermentation might overflow.
*Optional cherry addition after 2 weeks to produce a more cherry limeade flavor. I usually split the batch, bottle half normally and add the remaining beer to secondary racked on sour cherry concentrate for a few days then bottle.

Notes: Earlier tastings were extremely oaky(bottling + 2 weeks), the oak has now mellowed a bit (Bottling + 55 days), but is still a little overpowering. I'll consider halving the amount of oak in next year's batch (1oz instead of 2 for 2 gal), as it is difficult to detect any of the peatier notes from the peated malt with all that oak. Otherwise, very tasty, friends were shocked that it was home-made.
