Urban and I decided to kill two birds with one stone last night and bottle the boundary waters wheat and Bavarian lager while brewing King Romer's Cream Ale (the cool thing about making your own beer is naming it too) and a version of an American Pale Ale (waiting on a cool name from Urban). Overall, a success of brewing, bottling and consuming beer.
This will probably be one of my last Mr. Beer orders before I move up to the AAA ball. It was a great start to get acquainted. I found out I enjoy it so now it is time to move up to the next level. Here is the recipe:
RECIPE INCLUDES:
1 Can High Country Canadian Draft HME
1 Pouch Booster
1 Packet Dry Brewing Yeast
1 Packet Glacier Pellet Hops (used the whole packet instead of half)
We bottled on 2/26/11. I added 2.5 oz of corn sugar, slightly more than the Bavarian Lager in hopes it has a little more carbonation. Let it sit for a couple of weeks. After a prelim taste test the night of bottling we were both pleasantly surprised at this one so we will see how it ends up after carbonation.
King Romer's cream ale huh, sounds like somebody needs a case of little kings.
ReplyDeleteall we need is some little bottles. Nobody is going to make the "small brewer, small beer" joke that is hanging out there?
ReplyDeleteHillllarrioussss....would you prefer the name, "Ryans cream ale". ryan is irish for little king.
ReplyDeleteBeer for thought, Andrew is greek for "manly"...BS.
