Title: Style council
Post by: Spud395 on October 27, 2012, 08:19:04 PM
I just love messing with beer styles and find it difficult to actually brew to "style"
I think it must be a throwback to the punk days :o
Maybe it just words, but it amuses me, I'm drinking a nice Irish bitter tonight.

I do love black pale ales and have brewed a black belgian pale ale before.
Some of my other abominations have been hoppy milds, American Wit.

I plan to brew an American light mild for Christmas and a pale porter.

Any others so inclined?
Oh I enjoy regular beer as well  ;D

I was looking at your Dry Stout Recipe with the Target Whole, I want to make a stout in the next couple of weeks and as its my first will probably go for one of the usual suspects but I was wondering how you you came across it in the first instance?

That was actually my 1st AG brew and one of the few recipes I didnt start from scratch on.
It's very close to Graham Wheelers Guinness recipe in his book Brew your own British real ale.
I did add hops late in the boil which he doesnt.

It's a really good stout, in the traditional sense  ;)
I dont always brew off the wall
