Browne and Bitter: Brew Day: Buckwheat Saison
http://www.browneandbitter.com/2014/11/brew-day-buckwheat-saison.html
A Typical Brew Day. Monday, 3 November 2014. Brew Day: Buckwheat Saison. I usually have some buckwheat groats on hand for baking and other purposes, and I've been meaning to use some in a beer for quite some time. I finally got round to using some in the grist for a saison I brewed this weekend. The immediate cause of this brew day was reading about a beer I'll probably never get to try, the Blaugies/Hill Farmstead collaboration Le Sarrasin. 113°F, 131°F, 144°F, 154°F. The final w...I'd originally planne...

Browne and Bitter: Brew Day: Buckwheat Saison III
http://www.browneandbitter.com/2015/04/brew-day-buckwheat-saison-iii.html
A Typical Brew Day. Sunday, 12 April 2015. Brew Day: Buckwheat Saison III. I've been brewing quite frequently over the past few weeks, but I don't have time to do write-ups for every beer. Besides, since I'm back to brewing saisons again, most of the brew days were fairly similar. For the record though, I started another six gallon pale solera with The Yeast Bay's Melange blend. Adding to the other soleras already underway. The first version was blended with a small amount of 'lambic'-style beer and some...

Browne and Bitter: Tasting Notes: Biere de Coupage (Brett Fermented Wit)
http://www.browneandbitter.com/2014/08/tasting-notes-biere-de-coupage-brett.html
A Typical Brew Day. Tuesday, 19 August 2014. Tasting Notes: Biere de Coupage (Brett Fermented Wit). Or New Belgium's Snapshot. Nor that when I've brewed wheat beers in the past its been styles like berlinerweisse or gose. And yet here I was, brewing a straight up witbier. Well, kind of. The original inspiration for this beer. Came from an old article by Chad Yakobson in Zymurgy. It included a recipe for a brettanomyces-fermented wit- -probably an early version of Crooked Stave's St. Bretta. Carbonation i...

Browne and Bitter: Projects
http://www.browneandbitter.com/p/projects.html
A Typical Brew Day. Rather than post a page of recipe links, I thought it might be helpful to have a page of the various projects I have underway. The following is organized thematically, with links to posts on individual topics. I will update it as appropriate. And have been trying to brew beers that fit this description for a while now. The tag for ". Should bring them all up. Made in the same manner. To bière de coupage. Survey of contemporary versions. Bière de coupage made with kettle sours. Many so...

Browne and Bitter: Tasting Notes: Wheat Beer w/ Wyeast Brett. C
http://www.browneandbitter.com/2015/07/tasting-notes-wheat-beer-w-wyeast-brett.html
A Typical Brew Day. Monday, 6 July 2015. Tasting Notes: Wheat Beer w/ Wyeast Brett. C. Of course, I'm very. After buying a packet of this yeast I wasn't sure what to do with it. My ultimate goal was to use it to dose English stock ales. To give it a slight tartness, but I didn't have enough heavy bottles to package it, so I didn't want to risk starting a secondary fermentation in the bottle. The recipe was based loosely on this beer. Very low carbonation, and a bit on the thin side (though not at all bad...

Browne and Bitter: Bread and Beer: Spelt
http://www.browneandbitter.com/2014/08/bread-and-beer-spelt.html
A Typical Brew Day. Thursday, 28 August 2014. Bread and Beer: Spelt. Whole Grain Loaf with Sprouted Spelt. Brewing and baking complement each other in various ways: key to both is an understanding of the logic behind your process, the stages of fermentation in the product, and the ways in which modification in the former can shape the latter and change the flavour profile of whatever it is you are making. The most recent Tartine Book. You can find good accounts of the science behind cereal mashing. Tasti...

Browne and Bitter: Tasting Notes: Saisons w/ Yeast Bay Saison Blend
http://www.browneandbitter.com/2015/06/tasting-notes-saisons-w-yeast-bay.html
A Typical Brew Day. Sunday, 28 June 2015. Tasting Notes: Saisons w/ Yeast Bay Saison Blend. As you might have already noticed, posts to this blog are going to be a bit more infrequent over the summer. I'll try to schedule a few tasting notes posts for while I'm away in England, and I'll post any interesting beer related activities over on the blog's Facebook page. This is the second time I've used this blend in an almost identical series. Spelt Saison with Saphir Hops. I've made using large quantities of...

Browne and Bitter: Modifying a Corona-style Mill
http://www.browneandbitter.com/2015/01/modifying-corona-style-mill.html
A Typical Brew Day. Sunday, 18 January 2015. Modifying a Corona-style Mill. Which was a pleasant surprise since I didn't expect much from the beers I entered. I have one beer that I think is very good entered into the Upper Mississippi Mashout next weekend, and I'm curious to see how it does. The second is to take out the cotter pin that holds the front plate in place- -mine looked like it had been bashed in with a hammer, and took a while to get out- -and replace it with a 8/32 inch bolt that will hold ...
