Re: Did anyone pick up a stainless growler marked "Roggenbie
We completely forgot this at last night's (June 12) meeting. So sorry for anyone's trouble, but if someone picked it up, please message me. Hopefully you enjoyed the beer. Thanks! Charlie cfehl@ku.edu Bowe and Christen have it. I believe it is currently in Independence, MO, but I'm sure they could ...

June 2014 Tasting: Chile Beers
Chile Beer Chile beers can be an interesting subset of beers essentially boiled or “dry peppered” with jalapeños, seranos, habaneras, etc. Chile beers typically fall into BJCP category 21, Spice/Herb/Vegetable beer even though chiles are technically a fruit. It really depends on what part of the fru...

May 2014 Tasting: Pale Lager
Pale Light American Lager This month's tasting is by request. We had some interest in the 2014 Tastings Discussion thread for some lagers, specifically Pilsners and Maibocks (for May), so I lumped them into one category: Pale Lagers. I plan to give this tasting myself, unless Trogdor decides to BURN...

April 2014 Tasting: Belgian IPA
Belgian IPA Keeping with my philosophy of having balanced tastings, we have alternated hop- and malt-forward beers each month so far this year, and April is no exception. We all know how this style probably originated: some homebrewer took a classic Belgian ale like a Witbier or Tripel and said, “we...

March 2014 Tasting: Irish and Scottish Ale
When St. Patty's Day rolls around I start craving Irish ales and so now you must too. Ha, captive audience! We're actually going to explore the whole Scottish/Irish/Scotch/Green Dyed Bud Light BJCP category (someone should bring some actual Irish Whiskey and Scotch too, for good measure). This promi...

Re: Carboys and Sankey's 4 Sale
Damn. Late to the game, would've liked one of those 6.5 carboys.
I'll go ahead and reserve a 6-gallon one.
Thanks Andy!

January 2014 Tasting: Smoked Beers
Smoked Beers If you base your opinion of smoked beers on the unpleasantly intense ash-tray aroma of Rogue’s Voodoo Doughnut Maple Bacon Ale or the unpalatable band-aid flavor of an improperly stored imported Rauchbier that is past its prime, then you probably cringed when you saw this tasting. Relax...

Ode to Pumpking (not a clone)
I have had a couple of requests for my Pumpkin Ale recipe, so I thought it'd be easiest to just post it here...

Re: Grain Swaps
English Maris Otter. I underestimated the amount I had on hand for the rest of the year, so I skipped the last grain buy. Now I am basically out of my favorite base malt. Does anyone have any amount I could buy or swap? I'll take 10lbs, 20lbs, hell I'll take a whole 50lb sack. I have some American 2...

October 2013 Tasting: Black Beers
Black beers, you say?? Get ready for some Guinness Black Lager! I keed, I keed. Actually, that is probably a very well-brewed beer and a fitting illustration of what this tasting is all about: turning traditionally lighter colored ales and lagers black. Malting techniques for dark and roasted malts ...

September 2013 Tasting: Bockbier
Happy Oktoberfest! I decided to commemorate the annual Oktoberfest celebration in Munich, Germany with my favorite German bier style: the big, malty, sweet, and über drinkable Bockbier. My goal is to hit on the different variations of these strong German lagers: Bock, Doppelbock, Eisbock, Maibock, H...

August 2013 Tasting: Imperial IPA
8/14/13 IIPA. Love it or hate it. If you love it, a good IIPA is like crack to any homebrewer, as evidenced by the Godfather of all IIPAs, Pliny the Elder by Russian River being 5 years running Zymurgy beer of the year as voted on by AHA members. Kind of like wine to homebrewers, makes us use all so...
