The killing of Peeps!


Saturday Ron Short and me went to Orlando to visit the Orlando club for a brew day at Ed Measom's house. It was a fun day seeing some of the members of the Orlando club and talking "beer".

Notes
Product Description.Styled after southern English brown ales, our Nut Brown kit is a great all-around beer: it's easy to brew (its dark color and rich flavor make it forgiving of mistakes), it's mild enough for light beer drinkers, but characterful enough for more experienced brewers and beer lovers. The finished product exhibits a deep copper color, fruity/caramelly flavor and aroma with toasty, chocolatey notes; and it tastes great after just a few weeks.

Notes
A Belgian Dubbel without the deep dark chocolate maltiness, the Orange is rich with caramel sweetness and a full body that hides the 6.1% ABV very well. A simple sipper that evokes warm summery memories with every sip, yet fits perfectly into the colder months' standard brewing repertoire.

Wyeast Trappist High Gravity Y3787 is a great alternative yeast for this kit; it ferments a bit drier with a rich ester profile, malty palate, and has a high alcohol tolerance.

Notes
Before hops became the conventional flavoring for beer, medieval European brewers used proprietary spice mixtures, and many modern breweries still use a blend of spices along with hops for seasonally-brewed holiday beers. We started with a Scottish-style ale and added a blend of spices to create a medium-bodied, malty, clean base beer with a sweet, exotic spice character reminiscent of mulled wine.

Notes
The revolutionary roasters at Peace Coffee travel the world seeking out the finest small-scale coffee farmers, then roast the beans to perfection and deliver them by bicycle all over the Twin Cities. What makes us love them so? Is it their premium organic beans? Their obsessive commitment to quality? The complex flavors and aromas of their coffee?

It was love at first whiff. With roasters and brewers united, we crafted a sturdy stout fortified with a blend of light and dark roast coffees from both hemispheres. Smoky and sweet, but packing a powerful punch and just the right balance of rich malt, berry and bittersweet cocoa. Sure, you could brew with any old cuppa joe. Just like you could drink any old beer. But you’re not here to settle, and neither are we. So give Peace a chance and taste for yourself what all the buzz is about!

Notes
This original recipe brewed by White House staff is both a callback to the favored beverage of our Founding Fathers as well as an opportunity to come together in an election year and share pints across the aisle. More than just simply black and roasty, this porter builds consensus with generous applications of sweet caramel and toasty Munich malts, while moderate bitterness and a pound of honey lets us all find common ground. In a year of divisive politics, we think it’s especially important to remember what we have in common: homebrewing!

Notes
This is a big brew dominated by malt flavors and aromas, rich and full-bodied with a slight sweetness. Our Scotch Ale starts with several malts including a blend of two-row pale malts, Munich, chocolate malt, and a rare peat smoked malt commonly used by distillers of Scotch whiskey. This unique malt gives our ale its distinct smoky character and deep amber hue. The smokiness is carefully balanced with traditional English hops, Goldings and Fuggles.

We use a peat-smoked malt, only found in Scotland, that’s a signature ingredient in their legendary whiskies. This special smoked malt evokes the smells and flavors of Scotland, and complements the sweet and roasty malt character of the brew. The earthy hop character and distinctive smoky and roasted malts create a rich, robust, and complex brew.

Traditional Scotch ales are known for their deep brown color, low hop bitterness and rich mouth feel. The stronger examples of the styles are also known as “wee heavies.” The addition of peat smoked malt is common in craft versions of this style but isn’t called out in Scotland. The traditional Scotch Ales took on this peat smoked flavor through all of the local malts that they used.
