Current Beer Adventures

Primary 1:- Brennan's Blueberry Amber-Attempting to adding blueberries today and rack to the secondary

Primary 2- Chicorye- A porter beer influenced by my love for Dogfish Head's chicory stout.  Made with chicory, chocolate rye malt, vanilla bean, etc.  My buddy Adam and I put this recipe together months ago, and I was dying to brew this.

Secondary 1- Barleywine-This was my friend Adam's recipe.  This beer should kick your ass, but won't be ready until December.

Recently Bottled-

Pistachiale-Yes, this is a pistachio flavored ale.  Tried it for the first time yesterday. Still needs to mature, but seems like it will be awesome.  Adam and I brewed this about a month and half ago.  My goal is to make a beer that has a nice pistachio taste with vanilla hints. This is a recipe I have been working towards since before I even knew what I was doing.   This will happen!

Spicy Blonde Bitch-We brewed two versions of this.  The base is a blonde/hefeweisen and we added both fresh and dry peppers.  It turned out awesome and seems to be clearing up each time I open one.

Future endeavors- I want to brew an Oktoberfest Ale and a pumpkin ale for the fall.  I hope to make this happen when I arrive home from vacation.

I also want to make an Elderflower Saison after trying Elysius's Wasteland in Baltimore.  It was awesome!    Finally, I want to do another very hoppy IPA.   Sure wish this brewing stuff didn't cost money.
