http://www.hopfentreader.com/2013/07/honey-wheat-india-pale-ale.html
Honey Wheat India Pale Ale. Brewing an India style Pale Ale with honey and wheat malt for a summer twist on an IPA. The honey is from a friends residential hive in Hinesburgh, Vermont. A pound of whole leaf hops at the end of boil split fifty fifty between Comet and Belma hops from Hops Direct LLC. I really enjoyed the dank aroma and flavor from the Comet hops in the finished beer.

HopfenTreader: Batch 200
http://www.hopfentreader.com/2013/10/amber-ale-batch-200.html
Craft is something you can feel and taste. Dinner at a great restaurant feels different than dinner at Denny's. Chefs aren't born with great knife skills, they have to earn it. Give three different level chefs the same recipe you will have noticeable differences in the final plate. I think the same is true in brewing. The hands that make something means something. The only way to improve is through repetition. Thursday, October 10, 2013. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Brewing an ale in the Gruit tra...

Of Malt and Marrow: November 2011
http://maltmarrow.blogspot.com/2011_11_01_archive.html
Of Malt and Marrow. A foray into all things homebrew. Tuesday, November 29, 2011. Younger's 60 Shilling Ale - 1868. One of the great things about beer is how much of the history of it is pure fantasy. We Americans tend to think we have invented beer and have improved in every way on what was done in years past. We also translate styles in weird ways. Take Scottish beers for example. What comes to mind? Malty, malty, malty. Why on earth do we think this? Because it is what is most commercially available.
