Tell us about your regular/house brews

[Rugby Fan.]

Mine are:

• Cascade Pale Ale
• US Wheat
• Saison
• Kölsch

Partly it's because it's easy to share the ingredients for these which keeps my inventory relatively fresh.

I don't have the facility or inclination to bother with lagering so that's why the Kölsch is there.

I don't like the sweetness of Hefeweizen hence the US wheat. Depending on what I have to hand it might become a witbier with Kölsch or kviek yeast.

The Saison is my kviek brew cos it's hot as balls in Austria in the summer and I've no temp control for fermentation. Also it's a great user upper of leftover stock.

Outside of that I don't experiment much tbh bar adding frozen raspberries to the secondary in the wheat beer.

I wish I could do stout on nitrogen but space/equipment won't allow it. I've tried bottling and the syringe trick but meh.

The non regular brews tend to be Irish Red and American Amber.

Tribute clone, Bitter,variations on American pale ale,SAISON! wheat beer,occasionally lager. Stout and porter during the cooler months.

 

[NormanHurst]

Usually try and have English IPA, Porter, a hoppy American Pale and something "European". Could be a wit or a weizen. Last 2 have been a Belgian Pale and a Vienna Lager. Currently fermenting an Altbier.

 

[MickDundee]

I don’t have that many that I repeat over and over:

• Witbier
• Blonde ale, which I originally named A Classic American Blonde (ACAB for short because it was first brewed for my mate’s stag do, and he’s a policeman)
• Helles
• NEIPA but I often change up the hops and yeast

 

[Rodcx500z]

Mostly bitters pale ales and ipa's, i have 40L of turbo cider on the go at the moment for over the summer

 

[Agentgonzo]

I only have two that I regularly (ie, each year) repeat.

A saison. Simple grist of pilsner + Munich, belle saison and challenger.
Then a rich Belgian abbey beer (Leffe Radieuse clone).

Part of the fun for me is playing with new recipes each time.

 

[Mash Monster]

Mostly IPA’s, Pales, Bitters and stout with the occasional Pilsner or Blonde

 

[samale]

On tap at the minute is Saison, Altbier, porter and American amber.
If I could pick the perfect line up. Bitter/Altbier, porter, Belgian pale and west coast IPA. This cover's all bases, backed up with a good stock of bottle conditioned beer. Mainly Belgian and an imperial stout, nice to have variety.
Next brew is a Belgian Wit

 

[pilgrimhudd]

A Bramling X and Ernest Golden Ale/Pale Ale, I mix up the hop additions but the malt bill stays the same.

I also regularly do a Kiwi Pilsner, I regularly change hops to find something I like but again, malt bill stays the same.

I always thought I'd never repeat a brew but have now done a rice lager and light lager a couple of times.
Always got at least a couple of ales on tap, but never the same recipe.

 

[An Ankoù]

A mild hopped with Harlequin, a bitter which keeps changing slightly as I still haven't found the perfect bitter, a GPA- same malt but with different hops and a pale ale, again with different hops, but same malt bill. These get bottled up as The Four Beers of the Apocalypse.

 

[Sadfield]

I've a rolling 'solera' sour that gets topped up once a year. A 2.5% Earl Grey Pale ale. Then templates for Saison, Bitter, American Brown Ale and a American Pale Ale.

Beers ive brewed most and keep returning to:

-Golden ale with Citra and galaxy (found on Brewfather, search Kona big wave)
-Blonde beer, brewed it a fair few time a la Vacant gesture, but also played round with different hops.
-Oatmeal stout, different recipes, but my favourite is the GH one. Currently have the CML one carbing up so we’ll see how that compares

It’s not mine, its based on Vacant Gesture, its a great beer and you can play about with the hops and yeast to make different spins on it. I did it with EKG a few weeks ago to make a British blonde.


You can get the recipe and cans of the proper one here: Vacant Gesture ~ Recipe Download | Harrisons Brewery | The Brew Shed


It’s a great beer

 

[pilgrimhudd]

Thanks mate, recipe looks great, will be giving that a go.

 

[Baldylocks Brewery]

Great thread Rory.

I’m only on AG batch 18 so not much repeating so far although these are the ones I’m mostly experimenting with.

Foxbat’s house bitter - batch 3 fermenting currently - great recipe!
English hopped IPA’s -Fuggles and EKG from the garden plus some with Jester/Olicana/Harlequin
Wheat beers but not tried American versions yet. Two batches of Damson wheat but will stick to Damson wine as it’s a bit marmite
Two batches of Marzen - one kviek one lager yeast, preferred the kviek but both good.

Looking to brew more stouts and not tried any imperial or Belgium styles yet but in planning

Me too. Not unlike the blonde I'm dallying with at the mo, which is based on an Oakham recipe, but this looks more sessionable. I know my effort won't stop at an FG of 1010, though. And it certainly won't be cloudy.
