To finish things out we share a homebrewed Belgian Dark Strong Ale, featuring foraged black walnuts.
Today I crack open my last bottle of a Belgian dark strong ale I brewed about two years ago. It is about 8.5% abv. I still have a partial keg left of this stuff, hoping the age mellows out the “hot” taste it had when it was young. Two years should show some maturity… Listen … Continue reading "B Minus Brewing Belgian dark strong ale"

Podcast: Big Brew 2018, with a home run line-up of home brewers and an extra innings bottle share! This home-brew podcast goes remote to Rivets stadium in Rockford, IL with the Forest City Brewers and friends. We took in the sun and fun at the old ballpark to celebrate the largest group brewing event in the world (AHA Big Brew is the 40th anniversary and the farewell to Charlie Papazian, the father of home-brewing!). Home Brew Rock Stars interviewed people that brewed beer for the upcoming Brews On First beer festival on Saturday June 2. And with an impressive bottle share and some baseball meets Cinco de Mayo meets Kentucky Derby, all bets were in. It was an interesting day of four brewers all doing brew-in-the-bag beers, but with 4 unique setups. Leading off with his Cincinnati Irish Red was Ron Derry, who once did a 3-day try-out with the Reds back when the players were "pumped" and the bats were corked. Batting second was Mike Bohn with his Belgian Dark Strong Ale and primed to move the Irishman into scoring position. Batting third was Jerry Machula and his Hefeweizen that's leading the league in RIMS (see pics for this fun brewing setup). And batting clean-up was Mike Coisman switch hitting for the first time with a brew-in-a-bag lawn-mower bee featuring Centennial hops. Good times for all that attended, and for those that chose not to, next year looks to be even more fun, so make plans now so you don't miss out! Next podcast will be another remote occasion at the Olympic Tavern on Wednesday May 16 with FCB, Zak Rotello and friends. #drinkitup
This week we try our ESC German Wheat Ale and a listener's Mead. We then dive into the Belgian Dark Strong Ale Category. Batch Size 1 Gallon Ingredients 1lb 8oz (24oz) bottle of Orange Blossom Honey 1 Gallon of Spring water (NOT RO or Distilled) 1 Campden Tablet 1/2 TSP Yeast Energizer 1 TSP Yeast Nutrient 1 TSP Bentonite 1 Packet of either Red Star “Montrachet” or Red Star “Pasture Red” dry yeast. 1/2 TSP Potassium Sorbate (optional but required if you plan to sweeten after fermentation) 1/8 TSP Potassium Metabisulphite (optional but required if you plan to sweeten after fermentation) Steps taken: 1. Fill a small pot with warm water (not from the gallon listed above) to no warmer than 90 degrees. Carefully sit your container of honey into the warm water bath. This will warm up the honey making it easier to mix with the water and other ingredients later. The reason for not exceeding 90 degrees is to prevent delicate flavor and aroma compounds. 2. In a container/fermentor of suitable size for your batch, that has been sanitized, (I use a glass little big mouth bubbler) add (1) one crushed Campden tablet. The Campden tablet acts as a sterilant, some people choose to skip this step. (1/2 TSP) of Yeast Energizer. This acts like a cup of coffee for the yeast, helping it wake up. It also can be added to other batches of beer or mead that have become stuck, fail to finish fermenting. (1 TSP) of Yeast Nutrient. Mead is mostly all fermentable/sugar. The Yeast Nutrient helps keep the yeast healthy. Just like us, yeast does not do well on a diet of 100% sugar. (1 TSP) of Bentonite. The Bentonite acts as a clarifying agent. During fermentation a slight static charge is created helping the yeast flocculate, fall out of suspension, when fermentation is complete. 3. Pour a small amount of the water from the 1 gallon, from the ingredient list, to the container. Swirl it around, or stir with a sanitized spoon to mix up the items from step 2. if the Campden tablet is not mixed it well, it will not work as a sterilant properly. 4. Fill the container/fermentor to a maximum of 1/2 of the water to the container/fermentor to aid in the getting the honey evenly mixed in. 5. Slowly begin adding the honey to the container/fermentor either stirring with a sanitized spoon or swirling the container/fermentor around as you go. 6. Once all of the honey has been added, take some of your remaining water for the batch rinse as much of the honey that is stuck in the bottle out and into your container/fermentor. 7. Top up your batch to the one gallon mark. At this point you would think you should pitch the yeast, but refrain from doing so. The Campden tablet that was added will kill off the yeast you would add. The ingredients in the Campden tablet that act to sterilize the must (unfermented wine/mead) will naturally dissipate in 24 hours. 8. If Campden tablets were not used, skip ahead to the next step. Cover the top of your container/fermentor with a paper towel and let sit for 24 hours. 9. Pitch your yeast, add your airlock, and move to a suitable environment for it to ferment. Gently rock the fermentor about once every couple days. This will help off-gas the batch. In my experiences, Mead ferments better when it is off-gassed, as well as aides in clarification. Off-gassing is a process of getting CO2 out of solution. 10. Once fermentation is complete, take gravity readings to be sure, rack your mead to secondary. 11. If you plan on sweetening your mead. add the Potassium Metabisulphite, which will kill off any yeast left in your mead. Add the Potassium Sorbate, which will stablize your mead as well as preventing the mead from re-fermenting your sweetening addition. At this point I also added 1/8 TSP of liquid oak essence. I prefer this over oak chips or spirals, because it is too easy to get too much oak flavor into your mead. 12. Let sit at the least 2 weeks in secondary before bottling.

Mais lançamentos cervejeiros na área! Neste vídeo falamos sobre as novidades da Bier Hoff, a Bier Hoff 20 e Bier Hoff Druida. Continuando o tour pelo Norte do país, chegamos à capital do Amazonas para a abertura da loja Mestre-Cervejeiro.com Manaus. Assim como por todo o país, em Manaus o mercado cervejeiro está em ebulição com uma variedade de cervejas cada vez maior e novidades surgindo constantemente. E entre os lançamentos cervejeiros que encontrei na loja estão estes dois rótulos da Bier Hoff: Bier Hoff 20, uma Belgian Dark Strong Ale e a Druida, do estilo Quadrupel. Um ponto interessante sobre a Bier Hoff 20 é que se trata de uma cerveja colaborativa com o mestre cervejeiro Paulo Schiavetto em comemoração aos seus 20 anos de carreira. Um grande profissional com uma merecida homenagem. E outra novidade produzida na Bier Hoff que está chegando em breve é a nossa cerveja comemorativa pelos 12 anos do Mestre-Cervejeiro.com, uma colaborativa com o lendário cervejeiro e chocolateiro americano Pete Slosberg. Duas novas cervejas, de estilos bem parecidos, que vale a pena provar. Confira a degustação e conte pra gente: para você existem diferenças entre Belgian Dark Strong Ale e Quadrupel? Se sim, quais seriam? Deixe sua opinião nos comentários e até a próxima!
Bate-papo e degustação com um dos organizadores do Brussels Beer Challenge durante o Festival Brasileiro da Cerveja! Neste episódio Daniel conversa com o Luc de Raedemaeker, colega jurado do Concurso Brasileiro de Cervejas e um dos organizadores do maior festival cervejeiro da Bélgica, o Brussels Beer Challenge. Luc fala um pouco sobre suas impressões do festival, as cervejas avaliadas no concurso, e a história do Brussels Beer Challenge – concurso no qual a Blumenau Capivara Little IPA levou medalha de ouro no ano passado, em uma das categorias mais disputadas (American IPA) e contra renomadas cervejarias do mundo todo. E para fechar com chave de ouro, uma degustação da excelente Dama Reserva nº 6, uma Belgian Dark Strong Ale maturada em barris de carvalho americano e de amburana, produzida em edição limitada comemorando o aniversário da cervejaria. Perguntas do episódio: Você foi no Festival Brasileiro deste ano? Se foi, qual foi a sua cerveja favorita? Se não, pretende ir ano que vem?
Mais uma linha de cervejas belgas: conheça algumas cervejas da De Ranke! No embalo do último vídeo, no qual provei as ótimas cervejas da Gouden Carolus, neste episódio aproveito para provar 4 rótulos da cervejaria De Ranke. São cervejas belgas que não são muito fáceis de encontrar por aí, mas são boas e vale a pena provar. Aqui provo uma Saison, uma Belgian IPA, uma Belgian Tripel e uma Belgian Dark Strong Ale, e no final escolho a minha favorita. Pergunta do episódio: Você já conhece as cervejas belgas De Ranke?
Uma das marcas icônicas da Escola Belga: conheça as cervejas da Gouden Carolus! A Gouden Carolus é uma daquelas marcas que logo vem à mente quando se fala de cervejas belgas. Na minha primeira loja, em 2009, já oferecíamos alguns rótulos desta marca e eles chamavam atenção pela complexidade, potência e, no caso da Hopsinjoor, a intensidade do lúpulo que na época não se encontrava nas cervejas belgas. Hoje já temos uma grande oferta de rótulos neste perfil. Aproveitei a abertura da loja Mestre-Cervejeiro.com Mogi das Cruzes para provar a linha da Gouden Carolus. São cervejas muito boas, que vale a pena provar. Sempre gostei mais da Classic entre elas, e apesar de todas serem ótimas, ela continua minha favorita. Pergunta do episódio: qual é a Belgian Dark Strong Ale que você mais gosta?
