I’ve got a couple beer related places I recently visited on vacation that I want to share with everyone. Recently I went to the Leinenkugel’s Brewery Tour in Chippewa Falls, Wisconsin and also had some great beer and food at Fitger’s Brew Pub in Duluth, Minnesota. I think I’ll post some on those things this weekend, but first I’ve got some Beer Ingredient resources I thought most brewers would find useful, I hope you do.
So you’re ready to make that next recipe but want to try a new kind of malt. Or you’re worried the variety of hop you’ve used for years isn’t available with the ongoing hop shortage. What about yeast strains? You want to branch out, but want the variety to be appropriate for the style you’re brewing.
A great one place stop for malt, hop and yeast strain guides is the Brew Your Own website. Brew Your Own is a magazine for the hombrewer. I have subscribed for years and always look forward to the next issue. Issues typical have reader questions answered, a different beer style profiled with recipes for all-grain and extract brewers, a few DIY projects and an advanced brewer’s article. These very useful style guides are free and posted on their website. You’ll also find a sample of a few articles from the latest issue. I hope you find these links useful!

What better to do with a vacation day before a trip? Well after getting stuff done around the house, the answer is definitely to brew!
Today I brewed up a clone recipe from the September 2008 issue of Brew Your Own magazine, this recipe is for Beamish Irish Stout (I think I said Murphy’s Stout in the video clip, but this was the one for Beamish Stout. Too many recipes too little time I guess!).
Beamish and Guiness are similar beers, although I like Beamish a little bit more. It as a bit of hop flavor/aroma that isn’t in Guiness. Anyway here’s a short video clip of the rolling boil. It smelled wonderful, if only your monitor was scratch and sniff. I’ll post some pictures and a some more details later in the weekend.
Anyone else brewing up a batch this weekend? Enjoy the video!
