1 | #title Ale is Neat |
2 | |
3 | Once upon a time I brewed beer. Then I lost access to my roommate's |
4 | kettle owing to moving three hundred miles, and there was much sadness |
5 | for my poor kit lacked all but this very expensive kettle. A new |
6 | kettle has finally fallen into my hands, and so beer may be brewed |
7 | again. |

11 | I started brewing again with a few friends (makes it much easier to |
12 | actually get around to doing it when you have help). Since multiple |
13 | people are involved we are using [[http://wiki.calefaction.org/HomeBrewing][a wiki]] to collaborate. This poor page |
14 | will probably remain dusty because I can just put things there |
15 | instead. |

19 | I decided to at least make a stab at being unlazy and actually linking |
20 | to the files that are stored with the website. I keep a reasonable |
21 | brewing log (probably dry and boring to almost everyone) in the files |
22 | themselves. |

24 | I'm only bothering to list recipes that have been brewed and bottled |
25 | here--information on anything in the pipeline is at the [[http://wiki.calefaction.org/HomeBrewing][brewing wiki]] |
26 | since it is liable to change a lot. |

28 | Since old trusty [[http://www.usermode.org/code.html][QBrew]] is no longer actively maintained and [[http://brewtarget.sourceforge.net/][Brewtarget]] |
29 | is I've switched over to that. Meaning my newer recipes are in [[http://beerxml.com][BeerXML]] |
30 | that theoretically can be imported into other programs, but may very |
31 | well only work in Brewtarget. |

33 | ** Ginger-Chamomile Wheat Ale |
34 | |
35 | Cheap and quick to make this is ready to drink after a mere 11 days |
36 | fermentation and another five or six carbonating. |

40 | ** Nowruz (India Pale Ale) |
41 | |
42 | Perhaps my finest recipe to date. A suggestion to continuously hop was |
43 | heeded and the result was incredible. |

48 | ** Thoth (Foreign Extra Stout If You Bend a Bit) |
d7cf264d |
49 | |
50 | An attempt at experimentation--an adjunct (blackstrap molasses), a |
51 | spice (star anise), and a reused yeast cake (Ringwood from a |
52 | [[http://beeradvocate.com/beer/profile/113/576/][Samuel Smith's Nut Brown Ale]] clone). |
