Too bad he couldn't taste it for four more years.
I’m just a simple ale lovin’ guy. All these half-arsed flavored beers really turn me off. Peanut butter flavor? Ham and cheese? Sheesh.
Home brewin’ ping
pumpernickle ale sounds pretty good
I like beer flavored beer. I don’t think beer should be sweetened with honey or cherries. I like the german theory - they can only use water, hops, yeast, and grain.
Heh, pretty neat stuff. I experimented quite a bit in my homebrewing days, though it was mostly with specialty grains and a few adjunct fermentables (rice syrup, honey, etc.) I did one fruited beer - a cream stout with sour cherries that was rather nice. I also did a spiced ale with unsweetened cocoa that turned out decently, albeit with a bit of a lingering aftertaste.
My best brew, though, was a strong (around 9% alcohol) Belgian abbey-style beer. I used an excellent kit from Brewferm as a base and then added my own blend of grains and fermentables to customize it. The final product took about six weeks’ aging in the bottle before it was really ready, but man oh man was it gooooood!
BTW, there is a famous beer out of Bamberg (IIRC), called “rauchbier” (smoke beer) It uses smoked malt. Not my thing, but I think it would be good addition to a pot of barbecue sauce!
Bump for later malty goodness suggestions...
I finally got it through my head NOT to boil neither DME nor LME!
Anyone have ant experience using Peanut Butter (PB2) added to your wort?
Dunno if it should be boiled or just steeped???
