I put out a call to Twitter, and the good people of the interwebs voted that I should brew a Belgian Dubbel next 🙂 https://twitter.com/FredBarrettPhD/status/1299136363770646528?s=20 So, here we are. I’m using a hybrid of a number of recipes, including the Ommegang Abbey Dubbel at Homebrewtalk.com (https://www.homebrewtalk.com/threads/ommegang-abbey-dubbel.207079/), my first dubbel (http://home.kimusubi.net/beer/?p=348), and the dubbel recipe in […]

Batch 81: Ryan’s IPA
For the past few years, folks at the BPRU have organized a charity auction. Nothing too huge or outlandish, but we’ve raised a fair penny each year for a good cause. Last year and this year, I offered a case of home-brewed beer, brewed to order, and this year the prize was won by my […]
Batch 78: Falconer’s Flight/MO SMaSH(ish)
I scored a huge hop sale on MoreBeer.com before the holiday, and in that purchased my first ever Falconer’s Flight (1#). Over the holiday I finished the build and tested my 1-element electric brewing control (adapted from theelectricbrewery.com). To test out the system (and add some more hops to my current tap list), I chose […]
Batch 77: Harvest Amber Ale
The next in a series of pumpkin ales for the season, inspired by the impeccable Nepenthe Amber Ale recipe (adapted earlier this year to include MO as the base malt), and riding on the heels of the Pumpkin Dubbel that placed 3rd in the professional panel of the homebrew comp for the 2016 Baltimore Craft […]
Batch 76: Stephanie’s India Pale Ale

Batch 73/74: Pliny Two Ways
The experiment today: brew a Pliny Clone with a handful of hop substitutions, and split the batch between a standard fermentation (Batch 73, one carboy with San Diego Super/WLP090) and one as a NEIPA (Batch 74, in a carboy with London Fog Ale Yeast/WLP066). Based on the following Pliny recipe: Russian River Pliny the Elder […]
Batch 69: Oriander Pale Ale
It took a lot of restraint to not come up with a more salacious name for this beer. EDIT after tasting it (3/23), I’m starting to think of something like “easier than a presidential fitness test” b/c it is Easy Drinking. Recipe Type:Â All Grain Yeast:Â Nottingham (1 packets) Yeast Starter:Â none Batch Size (Gallons):Â intended 6 Original Gravity:Â 1.051 […]
