The Farmhouse Obsession: June 2015
http://www.thefarmhouseobsession.com/2015_06_01_archive.html
Wednesday, June 10, 2015. My first Bière de Garde. So I've brewed more Saisons than I can count. I have a ton on record but there are some I just brewed and drank. I've documented a ton of them and have those notes to make some future posts about but, this one is about something new for me. Brewing a Bière de Garde. Here was my recipe for the first attempt. I'll be tweaking just a bit for a few reasons I'll explain below. Everything on brew day was smooth other than having a bad efficiency. This is o...

The Farmhouse Obsession: July 2015
http://www.thefarmhouseobsession.com/2015_07_01_archive.html
Monday, July 27, 2015. Buckwheat Saison - Round 1. I've always wanted to work with grains that weren't typical in brewing and weren't that readily available just to see what they would yield. Buckwheat seems like a good choice to start with as there are some folks that have done some of the leg work already. A couple of the blogs to the left even have some posts about their experiences with buckwheat. Check them out as well! Ordered from Amazon as I couldn't find it locally. Below is the recipe I settled...

Thursday, February 18, 2016. Tasting Notes of Kathleen Round 2! I'm finally getting around to posting the tasting notes of the latest batch of Kathleen. I've been very excited with how this beer turned out. The brewing notes and recipe can be found here. I bottled a portion of this beer clean just how it fermented out.

The Farmhouse Obsession: Bière de Garde - Avant Garde Style - Batch 3
http://www.thefarmhouseobsession.com/2015/11/biere-de-garde-avant-garde-style-batch-3.html
Wednesday, November 11, 2015. Bière de Garde - Avant Garde Style - Batch 3. Well I did say I was becoming obsessed with this style. Here's another brew day involving the Bière de Garde style. This time a lighter approach based off of the Lost Abbey Avant Garde clone from the American Sours book by Michael Tonsemire. I want to get a lot of these done and in bottles so I can send some out and also do as much research as I can. Happy starter after being stepped up from a 800mL. Starter the day before. I've ...

The Farmhouse Obsession: August 2015
http://www.thefarmhouseobsession.com/2015_08_01_archive.html
Wednesday, August 26, 2015. Tasting Notes for My First Bière de Garde. On 5/31/15 I brewed my first attempt at a Bière de Garde. I developed the recipe you can find here. SG: 1065 or 15.9°P. FG: 1004 or 1.03°P. Light caramel and toffee with just a slight hint of spice and hay. More of a dead grass, earthy thing but, it's actually really clean smelling. It's dry but still has a bit of residual sweet flavors like burnt sugar in there. I bet that's from the long boil. Mouthfeel is medium, medium-lig...But I...

Tuesday, January 19, 2016. Rum Barrel Bière de Garde Brew Day - Batch 5. Here is the recipe:. Runnings as the boil goes along. I plan to start with 11 gallons and add in as. Wort is boiled off to reach my target volume and gravity. 1# of the brown sugar will be added at the beginning of the boil and the rest. Will be added at flame out (another suggestion from Nate.) - - -. Huge krausen on this starter! I love how clear the wort becomes while recirculating. So easy to get clear wort. I began to fill the ...
