As a homebrewer and beer judge, brewers often ask me how they can improve their chances for winning in a competition. Download PDF. By John Palmer. A beer can be compared to the performance of a symphony orchestra. We are the conductor, the recipe is the sheet music, and the instruments are the ingredients with which we work. A beer can be brewed rigorously to a recipe just like music can be played mechanically to the score. The difference is in the performance. It might sound trite, but judging beer is a lot more work than it sounds, particularly if you want to do a good job at it.

By Ali Hamm. Recent hop shortages are debasing your homebrews and putting a dent in your wallet, so why not grow your own? Hops are easy to grow, and their requirements are simple, including plenty of sunshine, well-draining soil, and yearly additions of compost.

When Peter agreed to join me on this road trip, I doubt he realized it would include outrunning tornadoes.

Of course, any good adventure has a few challenges along the way and our trip from Oakland, Calif. Our plan was to stop at 16 breweries and meet up with Brewing Network listeners along the way. By Diana Davis. She married a homebrewer. By Ken Schramm. The challenge of making mead is achieving the perfect honey fermentation—clean, with zero or absolutely minimal off flavors.

It optimizes the character of a spectacular honey, yielding aromatics and flavor reflecting its finest properties. The time has come to push mead making into the same analytic and scientific realm that beer brewers have applied to their craft for quite some time. We believe that by understanding honey, water and yeast in the same way we understand yeast, malt, water and hops, we can elevate mead to the same level of quality and public acceptance that high-quality beers enjoy.

Farmhouse Ales - Phil Markowski

By Byron Burch. This page was last edited on 23 May , at Lambic: Classic Beer Styles Series. Belgian Beer: Tested and Tasted. Kevin Verstrepen and Miguel Roncoroni put Belgian beers to the test in their lab, resulting in a complete encyclopedia with scientific analyses of the taste and aroma profiles and the chemical composition of beer. Divided into four categories - Bavarian beers, German white beers, German brown beers, and Austrian beers - this book gives a detailed introduction into the history of German beer and how it was brewed centuries ago, from Bavarian lager beer and Weissbier to Broyhan, Kottbusser Bier, Berliner Braunbier, Mannheimer Braunbier, Carinthian Stone Beer and more.

In fact, the origins of brewing involve a whole galaxy of wild and cultivated plants, fruits, berries, and other natural materials, which were once used to make a whole spectrum of creative, fermented drinks. Ancient Brews: Rediscovered and Re-created. These liquid time capsules defied modern conventions by mixing wines, beers, meads, and botanicals together into heady, delicious extreme beverages.

Brewing Local: American-Grown Beer. Stan examines the history of how distinctly American beers came about, visits farm breweries, and goes foraging for both plants and yeast to discover how brewers are using ingredients to create unique beers. The book introduces brewers and drinkers to how herbs, flowers, plants, trees, nuts, and shrubs flavor unique beers. Garshol's book on Norwegian farmhouse ales and kveik yeast. Currently only available on Norwegian. See also this post on Garshol's blog , and Kveik.

Homebrewing farmhouse-style beers using locally sourced or foraged ingredients, including an overview of plants in certain regions of the USA, as well as methods for harvesting and preserving. This book covers not only the history, physiology, microbiology, and flavor contributions of wood, but also the maintenance of wooden vessels.

Explore the many influences of wood as a vehicle for contributing tremendous complexity to beers fermented and aged within it. It starts out with a review of the history of the style. This chapter is great because it covers part of brewing history that even most beer nerds aren't too familiar with. The style started out as something closer to a low alcohol historic English Old Ale a moderate gravity beer allow to oxidize and sour slightly , but the alcohol has been increased over the last 30 years to make them into more of a specialty beer.

Like Brew Like a Monk many of the commercial beers discussed get an ingredient and method overview which would be a great help if you were trying to go in a certain direction or clone a beer. Each brewery gets a short profile as well, with some interesting tidbits about the history, brewer, and physical brewery. The meat is in the last chapter of the section, which talks about production methods. Each ingredient and aspect of production are covered, first what the current commercial practices are, followed by the best suggestions for doing it for yourself. It is very interesting to see the differences between the examples from larger and smaller breweries, particularly in yeast choice and grist composition.

Smaller breweries tend to use ale yeast and relatively complex grain bills, while large breweries use lager yeast and often just base malt and a dark malt for color. It is more difficult for large breweries to use multiple malts or yeast strains, so this is more of a choice about ease of brewing rather than flavor profile.

Each portion of recipe development is laid out with the options and effects presented.

The way that the book is written makes it very easy to use when designing your own recipe, or just for tweaking a recipe you already like. Saisons originally started as a refreshing beer for field laborers. Apparently the style has radically transformed over the years from something funky and reminiscent of low alcohol De Ranke XX to the cleaner, higher alcohol beer it is today.

These beers are pretty well known today as this book really kicked off a revival of the style when it came out five years ago. It is particularly interesting to read about breweries, like Vapeur and Blaugies, that are still basically brewing with some of the same ingredients, techniques, and equipment as farmhouse breweries did in the 19th century. It is also surprising how many of their breweries are part time jobs for the brewers Alpine Beer Company is the only brewery in America that comes to mind like that, but I am sure there must be more.

Next comes the chapter on Saison production.

The malt and hop suggestions are pretty short, but then the general suggestion is to keep things simple. They are unlike any other beer strain out there in this regard which is why Les Perkins from Wyeast suggests it may have mutated from a red wine strain.

Sais Who? (Part Two)

With most other strains fermenting at these temperatures would result in a beer that tasted like a combination of gasoline and nail polish remover, but with saisons you get a wonderful complex peppery-fruity flavor. This chapter also has some nice info on using other grains like spelt, wheat, and oats. Spices are another big topic.
