Versatile Vineyard Ale

Post by alb »

I didn't really think of my Vineyard Ale (hopped with Nelson Sauvin) as a lawnmower beer but let me tell you, it works! Bitter but not too bitter, session-level alcohol, crazy white grape hop aroma. Maybe just one more before I do the trimming...

Dave - just for you in Basic Recipes. It's an extract recipe but now that I know how I want it to taste, I can try to work out a grain bill. I've been doing extracts lately, as my old (old!) gas stove can't handle the boils very well anymore. But I'm saving up for one of these: http://morebeer.com/products/braumeister-20l.html

It's gonna be awhile...

That system looks amazing! I would buy that... If money were no obstacle.

An awesome system! But at $2000.00 I have to call that a stainless steel divorce. :o
Things men have made with wakened hands, and put soft life into
Are awake through years with transferred touch and go on glowing
For long years.
And for this reason some old things are lovely
Warm still with the life of forgotten men who made them.
