Homebrewers - Whats in the fermenter?

landhoney · 04-19-2010, 08:59 AM

Got my "keggle" cut weekend before last, so the last two batches have been 7.5 gallons instead of 5 gallons as I now have the capacity. Going to try a full 10 gallon batch sometime soon.
Weekend before last was a Belgian Quad, this past weekend was 'English Red' (not really a style, but the beer is a mix of a porter and a red brewed with an English Ale yeast).

BTW, anybody interested in doing a Cigar Asylum beer? We could all brew the same recipe and compare notes. Maybe a clone of something from Cigar City Brewing? Something that would pair well with a cigar?

You know I don't brew, but I am available for taste tests.

Absolutely!

I haven't started brewing yet, but plan to very soon and I will have plenty to share for Shack if all goes according to the grand scheme.

I'm down, although there is a beer that can go with anything. I still need to cut my keg for 10gal batches. I've only had Cigar City Jai Alai but it was damn good. All of their beers rate great. I guess it depends what kind of cigar we want to pair it with. I'm still a somewhat new cigar smoker, but good maduros and big stouts are amazing together.
