Brewing with my dad

<< < (2/4) > >>

Slowbrew:
I think anything that isn't too complicated would be good to use as an intro.

It's funny, I read the name of this thread and wondered if I could have made a Falstaff clone with my Dad.  That was his favorite beer for years.  By the time I came across a recipe, Dad was gone and hadn't been able to have a beer for 7 or 8 years before he passed.  I hope you have fun and really enjoy your time.

GolfBum:
A good time will be had thats for sure. The time he is here we are going to New Belgium for a brewery tour, brewing the next day and going to Avery's Sourfest the day after that. He will be in heaven.

Was also thinking of a Belgian Blonde or a Trappist Style ale. Anyone make any of these?

jmcamerlengo:
A Blonde yes. Very good in the summer.

Heres my recipe @ 80% efficiency

9 lbs Dingemanns Pils
.25 lbs Aromatic
.25 lbs Biscuit

Mash @ 149 for 75 min
MO    @ 168 for 10 min

Boil 90 minutes
1 oz. Tettnang @ 60 min
1 oz. Styrian Golding @ 20 min
1.25 lbs of Table Sugar @ 20 min

Cool to 64 pitch yeast
*any belgian yeast will do, I like WLP500 and WY3787.
Let temp raise naturally to wherever it wants to go.

ultravista:
That's awesome.

My father comes to visit once a year (Pittsburgh to Las Vegas) and we always brew. It's a fun day for the both of us. Plenty of beer drinking, story telling, and catch-up.

I take pictures and video for the day he is no longer around.

GolfBum:
So I am doing either a Blonde or a Saison. I had a blonde today that was so good. I'll ask him what he wants to brew and will make it. Will come back after brewing with the recipe we used and how it went.
