MY RECIPES (all grain only)

Sinn Féin (added october 1, 2009) I made this a few years back for a Picaroons clone contest at a Big Brew. Wayne Love won first with a hands down great brew. Later,  Sean Dunbar mentioned that my entry I was right behind Wayne’s. Figured I would post it, thought I had before but I guess not.

vmo I (added april 15, 2009) Had to make this as it’s my favourite style.

summer pilsner (added april 15, 2009) First brew in about a year. Tool a long break… I made this low in alcohol % so that I had a tasty treat for the summer.

burning barrel dunkel (added October 15th, 2007) Can you tell the brews that I make and can’t seem to find a clever name to put them? This is my first dunkel and I look forward to the finished product in a bout a month or so.

burning barrel oktoberfest (added october 15th, 2007) This is pretty much the same as my marzen, except I used different hops. This was my first brew day since the spring.

summer lovin’ lager (added june 12, 2007)

vienna no. 1 (added may 6, 2007) I really enjoy the VMO style and haven’t made one in a while. Look forward to tasting this.

garden hose lager (added april 25, 2007) after a recent trip to Boston, I decided to try a Samuel Adams clone of their Boston lager. I had some at the brewery that was actually quite tasty. I also had their Russian imperial stout, which was probably one of the best brews that I had during my visit. The problem with the stout was that it was very high in alcohol and after 3 or 4 samples, I could feel it.

A friend came up with the name after talking about my brew day with him (Dave C). I had left my chiller outside on a cold night. When I put it in the boiling wort at the final 15 minute mark, it must have burst from the temperature change. So, when I turned on my water to run through the chiller, water came rushing out of the hole in middle of the chiller.

burning barrel black (added march 15, 2007) my first try at a Schwarzbier. It turned out quite nice.

cap (added march 15, 2007) ok i actually didn’t have any 6-row, but it’s close enough

tim’s kitchen sink (added march 15, 2007) this was literally odds and ends of grain that i had left
