A Cask to Remember….Kölsch
Another Cask, Another Friday, some more great beer. This time around its the Seasonal Release of Wild Rose Brewery’s Kölsch. This is a beer that I have been really looking forward to since I heard they would be making one. I have unfortunately not been to Cologne yet, and because of that haven’t tasted Kölsch [...]
Tasting Notes….Last light of the Sun
Thoughts – This is the first time I have made an all grain Weissbier and I have to say I am torn with my end result. I think the recipe I based the beer upon is quite solid, though I may lighten up just a touch on the maltiness, the only major thing I would [...]
Victorian BBQ Sauce
Saturday night I was at my friend Mike’s place, he has cultivated a rhubarb plant beside his house to Jurassic park size proportions. Some of the leaves were at least 2 feet across, its been a long time since I have seen rhubarb get that big. After a great meal and quite a few wobblepops [...]
Western Isles 70′ Shilling
Even though I do try to make many different styles of beer, because I can’t get an example locally or for whatever reason. I find myself coming back to a solid number of session beers I want to enjoy on a regular basis. They are not the absolutely crazy Belgians (though I enjoy them from [...]
Something to support…Community Gardens
Somewhat of a horizontal leap topic wise, but I am inspired and hopefully after planting my garden plot for the first time in Calgary I will see some great results!
I planted my first plot a week or so ago, and its jam packed with vegetables & herbs. I will have to do some thinning out [...]
Hrothgar’s Solace….Weizenbock
Well, since I made a hefe-weizen I decided to repitch the yeast into a big delicious style of beer, weizenbock! Weizenbock is a style that I like a lot but its really difficult to find anything but Aventinus in the stores locally. Not that there is anything wrong with Aventinus, its a fantastic beer but [...]
Fermentation Friday Topic…May
I would like to thank Ted at Ted’s Homebrew Journal for hosting the fermentation Friday topic for the month of May. And Adam over at Beer Bits 2 for starting Fermentation Friday to begin with.
Ted has posed a two part question,
a. What part of the your brewday brings you the most JOY?
b. What part particularly [...]
Carl’s 10 degree……Karlova Desitka
This is a very special beer and a very special topic for me. A Desitka is a 10 degree plato lager which is probably the most common beer drank in the Czech Republic. They are the “light” lagers of the Czech Republic, not anything at all like the light lagers you find all throughout Canada [...]
Condiment Hacking…..Spicy Ketchup
Why “hack” ketchup? Its a comfort food for many people (even if you don’t think of it as food) a lot of children in N.A. drown their food in Ketchup so they don’t have to taste the actual flavours of the food. Almost everyone likes it on many types of food and Heinz is basically [...]
