The Sheep Man Cometh

The IPA

2007-08-16T15:54:00.000-05:00

I QUIT MY F-ING JOB IPA? Too confrontational?

It's done. It's delicious. Yes, it is a little on the sweet side. But damn! This is by far the best beer I've made. It's very similar to the Bell's Two Hearted Ale. My color is darker but the aroma is spot on. Delish! In fact I think I'm going to go home and have one of these after work.

India Pale Ale

2007-07-30T22:13:00.001-05:00

Too sweet! Too sweet! With all the hops that went in to this beer, why is it so damn sweet? I'll tell you why. Because it's damn hot in July and brother has no AC. It screws everything up. You can't brew beer in the middle of summer. I give up. I'm holding off on the next batch until the end of August. Regardless, the IPA is bottled. Below you see it, in the red caps, being inspected by the foreman. Ready to drink the day I quit my job.

5 oz. British 55L Crystal Malt
3 oz. British Chocolate Malt
6 lb. Munons Extra Light DME
1 1/2 oz. East Kent Goldings @ 5%AA
1/2 oz. Fuggles @ 5%AA

As mentioned in the link, White Labs WLP005 British Ale Yeast could be substituted for the Ringwood yeast.

IPA into the Secondary

2007-06-22T12:45:00.000-05:00

From an original gravity of 1060 to a final gravity of 1018. That about a 70% attenuation rate. The yeast I used should be around %75. Not bad. I might have underpitched it.

100-[(FG/OG)*100]=Attenuation rate

It looks good. It smells good. It even tastes good after a week in the primary. Best batch yet? It's dry hopping now. Still a month away.

Hell's Bells Hefeweizen vs. Seminole Squirrel Steam Beer

2007-06-16T12:59:00.000-05:00

Three weeks after bottling the Squirrel that after taste is still lingering. It has definitely improved since the first taste. I think it's going to need at least two more weeks before it is close to ready. The amazing thing is the hefeweizen (on the left). After a week and a half in the bottle, it tastes great! It tastes like a decent hefeweizen. I'm amazed. The picture is a little dark, the color of each isn't represented real well.

American India Pale Ale

2007-06-10T17:50:00.000-05:00

Batch number three is in the fermenter. It's a clone of Bell's Two Hearted Ale, a perfect beer for sitting on the terrace in early summertime. Ready for the secondary on the 18th, ready to bottle on the 9th of July.

This is going to be a hefty beer. Lots of fermentables and tons of hops.

9.15 lbs Gold Malt Syrup extract
1 lb Briess Caramel 40 for steeping
1 oz Centennial hops for bitterness
1 oz Centennial hops flavor
2 oz Centennial hops for aroma
Wyeast #1084, Irish Ale yeast
1 oz Centennial hops for the dry hop

My mouth is slightly watering as I type this. Hops. Hops. Hops. Speaking of...

Those are the Kent Goldings that I planted in May. I have a Cascade plant as well.

Hefe-Weizen and Jumping the Gun

2007-06-04T23:11:00.000-05:00

A little late on bottling this hefeweizen. I think it will be ok though. It smells vaguely like the style. That's about all I can ask for being this carefree with temperatures and bottling times. Anyway, the important thing is that it's in the bottle. It's in the bottle and it has a name. Hell's Bells Hefeweizen. Why not? Beer makes AC/DC good, maybe a little AC/DC will make beer good.

Since it was such a special occasion (second batch bottling!) I decided to crack open a bottle of Seminole Squirrel Steam Beer. It's the first taste. Wow. That. Is. Not. So good. Color is right. First splash on the tongue is great. But it has about the nastiest aftertaste on a beer I've ever had. It's ... ah... green. It needs a little time to age. That aftertaste will go away. Look at it though. It's pretty. It will still be the greatest beer of all time. She just needs to mature.

Yeah, that glass has a crack in it. So what? It's my last Tom Collins glass. What can I say? My wife breaks a lot of glasses. She has butterfingers. S'why she's a Brewers fan. And yeah, the one I'm drinking from may or may not be the one with the most gone. It's my baby, of course I'm going to be forgiving. Anyway, I can't let that glass go. It makes me look sophisticated when I'm drinking canned Tecate. From the glass.

Elevator, going up!

Hefe-Weizen

2007-05-14T21:51:00.000-05:00

The as-yet unnamed hefeweizen is fermenting away nicely. Brewed yesterday (Sunday, May 13th). Starting gravity was 1.040. I think this one will get two weeks in the primary and then two weeks in the bottle. It should be ready right around the Seminole Squirrel Steam Beer. I'll need to find more bottles.
