Notes: To reduce the oils brought in by the shredded coconut, I covered with paper towels and baked in the oven for about 20 minutes on each side @ 300F and patted down with a paper towel again before putting in the fermenter. Not worried about infection at that point due to the beer already being alcoholic and the paper towel + coconut having been baked at 300F.
Super sessionable, great summer beer. |

Notes: This is variation on my citra honey and ginger recipe again with the hop selection dictated mainly by what I had left over from previous brews. I've upped the overall hoppage a bit this time round but the quantity of ginger was toned down to aim for a more subtle hint rather than the quite full ginger beer taste of the original.
The honey, crystal malt and "first wort" hops were steeped in 4 pints water at 65 degrees for 40 minutes.
For the boil I started with 1kg extract in 16 pints water until final 15 minutes when the rest of the extract, the chopped ginger and strained honey mixture.
I cooled the wort in the bath to 35 degrees then put it in fermenter and topped up to the full volume running the added water through the hops in the kettle to rinse out a bit more hop flavour.
"Where's the rhubarb?" You might be wondering. I split the 5 gallon batch at secondary fermentation and tried various combinations as follows:
1 gallon 30g stewed rhubarb
1 gallon 20g stewed rhubarb
1 gallon 10g stewed rhubarb + 10g Kohatu hops
2 gallons 30g Kohatu hops
Left in secondary for a week before bottling. I'll update this description to let you know how it turns out.
UPDATE: So first results are mostly positive. The best batch is definitely the 10+10 which is very drinkable and seems to be nicely balanced with enough rhubarb to give an interesting slightly sour but pleasant flavour. I'm very pleased with this one. The 20 and 30g rhubarb batches are good too but the 30g especially is very dry. The rhubarb does seem to add a dryness along with the sourness you'd expect.
I wouldn't do the 30g Kohatu dry hopped again - the hop flavour was too much and a bit grassy. |

Notes: Two very unique ingredients combine to make a fantastic session brew. Rye extract provides a distinct spice to interact with the wheat base. And to finish it off, Sorachi hops late additions and dry hop provide a lemon flavor and aroma. Good all year, amazing all summer.

Notes: We'll toast the centennial of the #ChristmasTruce with our own version of German-English-Belgian-influenced ale. The beer itself is designed to be friendly and accessible. It will have representative characteristics of flavor, mouth-feel, body, yeastiness, bitterness, and aroma that would have been familiar to everyone on the Belgian front line that Christmas Eve 100 years ago.
It should represent an un-melancholy and language-transcendent catalyst to reminisce about homes far away and provide a means to share connections with lands and people to which the men on both sides of the trenches dearly hoped to return.
It should have encouraged those who shared it to wish the best to their temporary comrades who, on the following day, dutifully went back to assuring that they never did return to those far away homes.
War is hell. Good beer shared with friends helps to remind us why.
Mash in at 145 for one hour
Fly sparge at 185 for 45 minutes with direct heat to 190 on boil kettle
Boil for one hour
Add dark candi syrup at 45 minutes
