The Ginger Highlands

Inspired by Highlands Hollow ginger wheat beer, I was under special request to make something similar. Spoke with the bartender, and he had some idea about how it was made: 75% 2-row; 25% wheat; 3# fresh ginger in a 217G batch added during the last 5-10 minutes of the boil; wasn’t too sure on the [...]

Allagash White clone

Needed a good hot summer day beer and was recently reminded of the Allagash White. Should have followed this recipe more closely since the one I used was based on an extract recipe. The gravity is a bit low and the real deal has does uses a blend of malted and raw wheat.

Batch #8, brewed [...]

German Wheat Beer

Made my first attempt at brewing beer last night thanks to Valerie’s thoughtful Christmas gift of a brewing starter kit. I now have a bucket of malty goodness that’s burping CO2 at me.

She included a ready-to-brew kit for a German style hefeweizen. From what little bit I know of brewing, it’s about as [...]
