Holy shit does it taste awesome. You can taste the brown sugar somewhat, the oak came out perfect.. Very great beer, definite sipper. Can't wait for it to be carbonated. <br />Also - added a pinch of yeast during bottling.Robhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03204777571892408996noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4296409430578944822.post-85894395208057991682010-05-05T11:11:27.400-07:002010-05-05T11:11:27.400-07:00kegged the Fireman Red today.

Sure enough, the OG dropped even more. The beer has settled out into a 7.2% ABV. I kegged it and am chilling it down now. Looking forward to tapping in another week or so.Robhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03204777571892408996noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4296409430578944822.post-75923358878155346132010-03-04T20:22:01.243-08:002010-03-04T20:22:01.243-08:00i know this is almost a year old, but I should com...i know this is almost a year old, but I should comment - that this was one of the best beers I ever made. People drank this down like fishes. It was gone in just under 2 weeks. 5 gallons. I think that was 3 evenings of drinking too, with few people. ABV was way too high. I made it again this year, and took my grains down so the ABV would be a bit lower. Anyhow, can't wait to try this years version (2010).Robhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03204777571892408996noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4296409430578944822.post-72064017494003355462010-03-02T05:27:27.002-08:002010-03-02T05:27:27.002-08:00I should add - this was a 10 gallon recipe.

We kicked around making these "Cinco de Maibock" --- jalapeno in the secondary to spice it up. We'll see. I may try it with part of the batch just for fun.Robhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03204777571892408996noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4296409430578944822.post-65809793935873027492010-02-23T16:18:48.166-08:002010-02-23T16:18:48.166-08:00commenting to say, this beer came out pretty sucky...commenting to say, this beer came out pretty sucky. It had a bit of a sweetness to it, with a bubble gum type smell. There was some other off flavors, I think from the hops. I learned a few things<br /><br />1. I'm not going to brew again until I have fermentation temperature controls (my off flavors were caused by high heat fermenting - 68-70 is much too high for an ale). <br /><br />2. Strain the hops. I'm not for sure saying that there was an issue with the hops in the fermenter, but it did have a strange after taste, I couldn't quite pin point it, but for the future, I'm going to do a better job at hop straining to fermentation). <br /><br />3. The keg went fast, so some people liked it! Most of my friends dug it. When I pointed out the after taste, they may have noticed, but continued to enjoy it. I had a request to brew this beer for a party already. I'll definitely make it better - if I do it again. :)Robhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03204777571892408996noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4296409430578944822.post-62773880760522079842010-02-15T17:44:01.621-08:002010-02-15T17:44:01.621-08:00I should add - the hoppy english mild came out awe...I should add - the hoppy english mild came out awesome.

Vienna 20<br /><br />Hops - split in half. <br /><br />If you google around too, there are extract versions of this recipe. Probably more out there than the all grain version. My friend made one with extract and he said it came out fantastic. <br /><br />Gumball Head is awesome beer, but I'm telling you - I liked this clone better than the actual version. Clones always come out a bit different. Mine in this case, came out, in my opinion, hoppier and tastier. It was a huge hit - 10 gallons were gone quickly. :)Robhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03204777571892408996noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4296409430578944822.post-40003190566822404692009-11-15T20:16:37.402-08:002009-11-15T20:16:37.402-08:00This comment has been removed by the author.Scott M.

I wasn't very good with my equipment back then, and probably didn't hit the pre-boil gravity where it should have, resulting in the end, a much larger ABV than intended, but I think it tastes pretty good. It has aged pretty well too.Robhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03204777571892408996noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4296409430578944822.post-90082805376958041222009-09-21T15:17:16.804-07:002009-09-21T15:17:16.804-07:00Hey, Rob, how did the saison turn out in the end?Hey, Rob, how did the saison turn out in the end?Aubadicushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16717991187162056875noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4296409430578944822.post-84936080084076292732009-06-28T21:37:08.214-07:002009-06-28T21:37:08.214-07:00Damn dude, It looks like you could fit a few more ...Damn dude, It looks like you could fit a few more grains in there.Homebrewer Brianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08674430160618337820noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4296409430578944822.post-70376975860870397452009-06-28T21:33:40.554-07:002009-06-28T21:33:40.554-07:00Sounds tasty.Sounds tasty.Homebrewer Brianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08674430160618337820noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4296409430578944822.post-30519769777958599692009-05-30T09:14:20.227-07:002009-05-30T09:14:20.227-07:00Belgian pale is kegged and fantastic.

It's ok, I actually like them both, and it seems like a day full of beer drinking and we didn't even put a dent in either keg. If all was right, the Belgian Pale came out to a whopping - 10.4%. You really can't tell, the alcohol taste doesn't really come out too strong. I haven't had a pint in a week, I'm going to wait another week and try it again, I bet it'll be even better.Robhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03204777571892408996noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4296409430578944822.post-1393095044069934862009-05-09T09:36:00.000-07:002009-05-09T09:36:00.000-07:00i racked this to a secondary and added the Belgian...i racked this to a secondary and added the Belgian Sour yeast on April 11th. http://www.flickr.com/photos/gorczyca/3431354637/<br /><br />I'm going to let this one sit for, well, as long as it takes to sour up, which could be until late fall/winter.. or even into next year.
