Beer Recipes

American Amber Ale (West Coast U.S. style) - Bigger, bolder, and hoppier than your standard Amber, with a bit of additional dry hopping thrown in.
American IPA - My follow-up to my Alpine Duet clone, as its replacement for the final round of the NHC in Seattle in June, 2012.
American IPA #2 - A "Kitchen Sink" type IPA, hopped with lots of varieties to clean out my freezer: Centennial, Amarillo, Belma, and Falconer's Flight.
American IPA #3 - Brewed with Galaxy, Nelson Sauvin, and CTZ, fermented with Wyeast London Ale III; also, high chloride water.
American Pale Ale - A kind-of-botched attempt at a recipe with equal parts Sorachi Ace and Citra hops.
American Pale Ale #2 - Brewed solely with lots of Belma and Cascade hops.
American Pale Ale #3 - One of my favourite APAs I've brewed, featuring Azacca and Galaxy hops, fermented with London Ale III.
American Pale Ale #4 - Recipe and hop schedule very similar to Ed Coffey's Tired Hands HopHands clone, but different hops, and fermented with Funktown Pale Ale yeast.
Belgian "APA" - Inspired by Schilling's Racogne, a low-ABV Belgian IPA hopped with plenty of Mosaic and Equinox; one of my favourite Belgian ales I've brewed.
Belgian Dubbel - A malty, slightly phenolic with some fruity esters, Belgian Strong Ale.
Belgian Dubbel #2 - 2016 Christmas give-away beer, similar recipe to a really old Dubbel, but with vanilla bean added, and fermented with the Chimay strain.
Belgian Golden Strong Ale - Pretty close to Duvel, a strong, very dry, moderately bitter Belgian Ale.
Belgian Pale Ale - My second time brewing this style; well-balanced between fruity, spicy, and malty, a great easy-drinking Belgian beer.
Belgian Red IPA - Another Belgian/IPA crossover experiment; this is a Belgian Pale Ale grist, darkened with a touch of Midnight Wheat, hopped with Azacca, Mosaic, and Simcoe, and fermented with Wyeast Belgian Schelde.
Belgian Session IPA - My spin on a Belgian IPA, but with the alcohol dialled down to <5% ABV; Westmalle yeast, and Amarillo and Citra hops.
Belgian Tripel - Great Belgian style, balanced nicely between spicy and fruity, finishing very dry with a firm bitterness; this recipe uses the Westmalle yeasts train.
Berliner Weisse - A sour and tart, refreshing, low-alcohol German beer. 
Biere de Garde - A French-style malty, toasty, strong ale.
Blonde Ale - My 3rd attempt at this style, tweaked to a point I think I'm quite happy with.
Bohemian Pilsner - A well-rounded, refreshing, and softly-bitter Pilsner.
Brett IPA - My first 100%-Brett beer, fermented with The Yeast Bay's Brett Amalgamation (a blend of six strains), and hopped with Amarillo and Hallertau Blanc.
Brett IPA #2 - Brett Amalgamation again, no changes to the grist, but hopped with two Southern Hemisphere varieties - Galaxy and Southern Cross.
Brett IPA #3 - Fermented with White Labs Brett brux Trois Vrai, hopped entirely with Azacca.
Brett IPA #4 - Hopped with Vic Secret and Citra, this batch was split in two - half fermented with Brett C, half with the Amalgamation blend.
Brett Session IPA - Dialed back the ABV, Brett Amalgamation, hopped with Azacca and Columbus.
Brown IPA - AKA a hoppy American Brown Ale, my own recipe with lots of Nugget, Columbus, and Citra.
Brown IPA #2 - Same grist as before, but hopped with CTZ, Galaxy and Simcoe, and fermented with London Ale III.
California Common - After an under-attenuated result a few years ago, my second attempt at this style - a part lager/part ale, toasty and firmly bitter beer that showcases the Northern Brewer hop.
Classic American Pilsner - With similarities to German and Bohemian Pilsner, this beer is a bit bigger in alcohol, and more importantly, exhibits more hop aroma and flavor.
Coffee Sweet Stout - Coffee added by "dry-beaning" in secondary.
Columbus Pale Ale - The grist for the Epic Pale Ale clone, but brewed with all-Columbus (vs. all-Cascade in the clone).
Doppelbock - A big, malty, German lager.
Dunkelweizen - A refreshing, dark German wheat ale.
Extra Special Bitter - My second attempt at this style, loosely based on the gold-medal-winning recipe from the 2010 NHC.
Flanders Brown - With a more-nuanced malt character and less acetic sourness than a Flanders Red, truly one of the great sour beer styles.
Flanders Red - My first attempt at a sour beer: most bottled after 15 months in the fermenter, the rest aged on cherries for another few months.
Galaxy DIPA - An all-Galaxy hopped Imperial IPA.
Gose - Kettle-soured with Lacto plantarum capsules; half the batch dry-hopped with Citra, half with lime zest.
Gose #2 - Kettle-soured with L. plantarum again, dry-hopped with Chinook and grapefruit zest.
Gose #3 - Half with cilantro and lime zest, half with oak chips and lemon zest, and dry-hopped with Southern Cross.
Hefeweizen - One of the truly great beer styles, especially in the summer... spritzy, refreshing, with a good balance of clove and banana aromas and flavors.
Hoppy Saison - Very similar to my Prairie 'Merica clone, with a few minor hop changes - Nelson, Citra, and Centennial.
Imperial IPA - My 2015 Christmas gift-beer, brewed with Amarillo, Comet and Hallertau Blanc, fermented with London Ale III.
Imperial IPA #2 - My entry for the 2016 Big Spruce Home Brew Competition, a Northeast DIPA brewed with five hop varieties, fermented with LAIII.
India Pale Lager - My first attempt, this one is hopped with Cascade, Comet and Vic Secret, fermented with Munich Lager II. Came out very nice, lots of hops, smooth and clean.
Milkshake IPA - First try at this new "style", lots of Azacca and Equinox, plus lactose, vanilla bean, and orange zest.
Milkshake IPA #2 - Azacca, Citra and Mosaic this time, plus grapefruit zest; the increase to a full vanilla bean was worth it.
Munich Dunkel - A smooth, easy-drinking, malty lager.
Munich Helles - The beer geek's "light lager", it's an easy-drinking style, low alcohol, but still has some nice malt character.
Oktoberfest - My favorite type of lager, and one of my favorite homebrew results yet.
Red IPA - A.K.A. a hoppy Amber; brewed with Amarillo, Azacca and Simcoe, my Christmas-giveaway beer that came out really great.
Red IPA #2 - Completely different recipe, hopped with CTZ, Cascade, and Mosaic; gold-medal winner in the 2015 Big Spruce Home Brew Competition.
Saison - An "Imperial" or "Super" take on the style, made with a fairly-large proportion of wheat malt; half plain, half aged on raspberries.
Schwarzbier - Smooth, kind-of-roasty dark lager... one of my favorites.
Schwarzbier #2 - Not many changes to the previous recipe, but using the private collection Wyeast 2352 Munich Lager II.
Session IPA - A lower-ABV American IPA, brewed with all-Mosaic hops.
Session IPA #2 - Same recipe as attempt #1, this time trying all El Dorado hops.
Session IPA #3 - Recipe honed in now; this brew features all Equinox hops.
Session IPA #4 - All Summer hopped, bumped the mash temp up a few degrees.
Session IPA #5 - Grist change (Row 2, Hill 56 clone) and yeast switch (London Ale III), focusing on the wonderful Nelson Sauvin hop.
Session IPA #6 - Grist same as #5, single-hopped with another Southern Hemisphere variety, Kohatu.
Session IPA #7 - Back to US-05, hopped entirely with Chinook.
Session Red IPA - I took my Maine Beer Co. Zoe clone, and dropped it down to 4.3% ABV... worked out great, still lots of hop and malt character, in a smaller package.
Session Red IPA #2 - Hopped entirely with Citra, and fermented with London Ale III.
Sour Session IPA - Kettle-soured with L. plantarum capsules, fermented with Brett brux Trois Vrai; batch split into two, half dry-hopped with Citra, and half with Equinox.
Southern English Brown - A malty, sweet, English session ale.
Southern English Brown #2 - Some tweaking of the previous recipe, brewed with the no-sparge method to hopefully increase the maltiness.
Standard/Ordinary Bitter - Sessionable English Pale Ale.
Standard American Lager - An easy-drinking summer beer to have on hand for less-inclined-to-drink-craft-beer family members.
Sweet Stout - Second attempt at the style; dark, roasty, creamy, thanks to a healthy portion of lactose powder in the recipe.
Vienna Lager - Based on the recipe from Brewing Classic Styles, a toasty/bready Lager quite similar in style to an Oktoberfest.
White IPA - Basically a mix of a Witbier and American IPA; my first attempt, hopped with Amarillo and El Dorado.
Witbier - A Belgian wheat beer, and one of the truly great summer beers. My 2nd attempt at the style.
Witbier #2 - A few minor changes from the previous recipe, including using real orange peel, and hopping with Belma.

Russian River Blind Pig - The American IPA that paved the road to Pliny the Elder and beyond!
