What Are You Brewing III

[Maple]

DrS, the rye is mainly adding a velvety mouthfeel, the smoke is apparent but not overwhelming - The bottled flying Dog Schwarz it's based off has even subtler smoke, but guessing that's due to the bottle aging.
Give it a try, i promnise you won't be disappointed.

I made a more sessionable version below for my son Joshua as it's one of his favourite beers - this one is a lot smokier & is also tasting great.

Browndog, I read the Ballantine article and thought I would give the recipe a go in the near future. It definitely had more appeal than the recipe for bacon beer on page 39. Putting cooked bacon into a fermenter ala dry hopping sounds down right dangerous.

I tasted a bacon beer at the last Bitter & Twisted, it was made by Potter's Brewery and it tasted like, well, bacon. Not to my taste, but interesting all the same.

Apparently the taste was from smoked and other malts and hops only, no bacon.

Not sure if anyone is privy to the recipe or has tried to clone it, but if you are after bacon this is the beer for you.

Brewing my take on Denny Conn's Rye IPA (changed up the hops to suit inventory) some time over the Anzac long weekend.

+1 there, I love bacon but in a beer :blink: the Ballantine XXX jumped straight out at me, I'll let you know how it turns out. Lonte, make sure you bring some of that rye IPA to BABBs mate.

First ever APA and I couldn't stop drinking it. Sadly I only have one bottle left and I'm giving it away.

That was the one you were asking about the hopping with a little while back i assume? good to hear it's turned out well, I've been meaning to ask about that one.

 

[manticle]

Turned out fantastic and that's from a non-APA lover/hophead. I'll try and save you a bottle from this version if it works as well as the first.

To my palate the grist backs up the hops so it has a rich caramel malt quality (not butterscotch) which I'd say comes from the munich, biscuit and crystal combination.

Man, I've got to make time for a Dunkle (since SWMBO likes them - opportunity to buy more grain ) although I'll probably end up doing a Dunkle Weizen.
Currently mashing in a Smoked Robust Porter, the Triple will be on Monday unless I get keen tonight.
