Citra American Wheat

As the "Throwback" IPA kicked, we thought it would be good to brew a light hoppy beer to drink as it starts getting unbearably cold. We just received a pound of citra hops and thought that an American wheat could be quite thirst quenching. As it is our style, we decided to ten toward the hoppy side on this brew.

Throwback - Old School/New School IPA

Had in mind to brew a throwback IPA with only Centennial and Cascade Hops, and Cali Ale yeast. Here's where the New School comes in: we couldn't resist making another 100% Brett beer. 

Session IPA w/ Experiments

Our normal Session recipe, with the addition of some Vienna Malt. We hoped to make 5 gallons to keg and 4 to experiment with.

Burton Baton Clone -- Part 1, Old Ale

Kayla's 25th birthday is coming up and she wanted something Imperial and hoppy. Her request was a clone Dogfish Head's Burton Baton--two beers blended together. Recipe from IPA, by Mitch Steele.

Burton Baton Clone -- Part 2, IIPA

Part 2 of clone of Dogfish Head's Burton Baton, the aggressively hopped and dry-hopped IIPA. Recipe from IPA, by Mitch Steele.

Saison w/ Arlington Yeast

After hearing from several people that our attempt at a White House Blonde Ale (w/ Arlington yeast) tasted more like a saison than a blonde, we decided to see how the yeast would do in a traditional saison recipe. Additionally, this beer was supposed to be a hefeweizen for Kayla's birthday but someone (John) got the grain ratio wrong. This mistake turned out alright because the grain we ended up ordering fit perfectly into a saison recipe.

Floor'd Black IPA

We finally brewed a Black IPA! We used the grain that fell on the floor with additional grain from 3 Stars Brewing Co. We decided to finally use some of our pound of mosaic hops and are quite excited to see how it turns out.
