Not sure what I want to make. It has been a while since I've had the space, but we just moved. I am just curious what's fermenting at your house.

Mon, February 14, 2005 - 12:27 AMso... what goes into Trogdor ale? -
-
Re: What are you brewing?
Mon, February 14, 2005 - 4:57 PMTrogdor is my version of Dragons Milk by Triple Rock Brewing CO in Berkeley, CA.
Its a Strong Ale / Old Ale style... kinda dark roasted carmelly, with some malt & bitterness. No too much on the hop note.
My recipe is all-grain, and has a fairly large grain bill...
Brit/Canuk 2-row, 40L, 120L, NB Hops, and London III yeast.
Bottling this week, and should be ready to sample in 1 month =)

Wed, February 9, 2005 - 7:10 PMStrawberry lager. I have a nice pale lager that's just about done fermenting, and I'm going to add some strawberry wine base. It ought to be yummy.
Yeah, there's a dark corner in my kitchen that doesn't tend to get above about 55°. At least there's one good thing about living in a house that's cold all winter long :) -

Re: What are you brewing?
Tue, May 10, 2005 - 11:38 AMGlad to find this tribe.
I've just finished 16 gallons of my Valhalla Vanilla mead- my proprietary recipe. Fermentation already finished. Just waiting to polish and bottle.
Sweet- lots of residual honey sugars, about 16% alc. by volume, and wonderful cold in the summer, carbonated if you like, warm with a cinnamon stick on a winter day, or straight out of the bottle at room temperature all year round. Wine snobs tend not to enjoy it, but if I wanted a dry wine, I'd go to the supermarket, dammit. ;o)
I posted an older version of the recipe for this mead on www.gotmead.com a couple years ago, and it seems now that none of my friends can go to a Ren Faire or SCA event without finding someone pushing their version of "Valhalla Vanilla Mead". Kinda flattering, you know? The recipe has changed over the last couple of years, however, and no two batches are the same, since I alternate spring honey and late harvest honey with the two batches I make each year.
The secret? Well, SOME of the secret is FRESH vanilla beans (not the dried up stuff you find in the supermarket) and other FRESH spices (there's an herbalist shop in town), and tried and true EC-1118 strain champagne yeast from Lalvin. Very hearty yeast will survive in high-alcohol environments before finally slowing down and dying out at somewhere between 15 and 18% alc. depending on how fresh the yeast is.
Cheers.

Re: What are you brewing?
Tue, May 10, 2005 - 7:15 PMIn the past 2 months I have brewed tons! Some of the best batches:
Oatmeal stout- YUM
ESB
Negra Modelo clone- very good but recipe needs tweaking to make it a closer match
Rye IPA
Belgian Wit
Nut Brown Ale
All of it is organic to boot, and all grain brewed on a 10 gallon system. Whew. -

Re: What are you brewing?
Tue, October 11, 2005 - 7:16 AMCurrently we have a red ale brewed with chocolate malt and coffee. (experiment) We just made our own recipe for hard cider. O.G. 1.120! It tastes like apple pie now but we will see after the yeast takes hold. We used 3 gal cider, spices, 3c brown sugar, 1c honey and 1c maple syrup with 2 pack of champange yeast. I'm thinking 15-16% alcohol.

brewed off the rogue mocha porter recipe while adding a pound of mayan superdark coffee.
