★ Homebrewing: Next Evolution in the Brett Pale Ales

Screen Shot 2013 08 07 at 4 27 03 PM

Two months ago, I tried something simple. I brewed a beer with about 7 pounds of 2-Row with Motueka and Brett B. It’s been a big hit. Lots of people have come over and had it on tap and drank that same beer all night. For how simple it is, it really has been hugely popular. So I’m going to evolve this a bit adding some grains that add a bit more to the taste and mouthfeel and using my favorite hop. The yeast is unchanged and it’s going to be slightly larger in ABV. If this is a success, I’ll fill around with the grains and hop schedule but will continue to culture Brett B.
Currently, I’m brewing my Belgian Wit that I’ve made a few times. belgian Wit yeast, half an ounce of orange peel and some standard grains for a beer around 4%. My GF loves it and maybe I’ll add 8-10 clementines to the fermenter since we have too many laying around the house.

  1. What brewing program are you using? I like the look of that. I use iBrewmaster 2 on iPhone, but I’d like to move everything to my Macbook. Looks good btw, wish I could try the beer! Maybe a homebrew swap is in order! Cheers Adam!

    1. Alan and Erik. A guy on RateBeer influenced me to go all on 100% Brett IPAs. I’m so stoked that I did. The first one was a huge hit (drinking the last growler of it right now) and the Citra IPA is going to rock (hopefully). The Brett cloud is in the middle of the carboy now growing larger. Should be kegged 1st week of September.
