Brooklyn Brew Shop Recipes
- Brooklyn Brew Shop
- recipes from their book titled Beer Making Book
New Year's Day beer
- it's a Belgian wit
- brewed on Sun, Apr 27
- bottled on Tue, May 13. produced 8 bottles.
Grapefruit Honey Ale
- brewed on Sun, May 4
- bottled on Sun, May 18. produced 8 bottles.
- i disliked the taste because of the grapefruit, but DD likes grapefruit, so all is well. maybe we'll try this recipe again with a different fruit, such as the Mackinaw Peach.
- we drank a bottle on Jun 4, and it tasted fine. the strong grapefruity taste must have subsided during bottling. the fruity taste exists, but it's mild, and acceptable to me. i like the wit beer better though.
Rosebud / Rosehips Belgian Blonde
- brewed on May 15
- used Wyeast Trappist HG 3787
- during fermentation, a strong, funky smell existed for the first 10 days or so, but it subsided some during the last week.
- bottled on Jun 1
- produced 9 bottles
- tasted great during bottling
- drank our first two bottles on Jun 14, and it tasted excellent. probably second favorite after the wit.
Belgian Trippel
- brewed on June 4
- used Wyeast Trappist HG 3787
- we finished brewing and added blow-off tube around 11:00 p.m., June 4
- around 7:00 a.m. on June 5, no surface activity existed. but within an hour or so, considerable surface activity existed, filling the carboy to the lid with bubbles.
- by 11:00 p.m. on June 5, the most vigorous fermentation activity had already subsided.
- at 7:00 a.m. on June 6, fermentation activity continues at nice pace with gas flowing through the blow-off tube, but the activity is less than the evening before.
- fermentation on June 4, 5, and 6 occurred in the dining room with an air temp between 68 and 71 degrees. i wrapped a blanket around the carboy, and i stopped opening the window in the dining room because our morning temps this week were around 50 to 55 degrees.
- temps in the dining room remained in the mid 70s from Jun 7 through Jun 9.
- on Mon eve, Jun 9, turned the furnace on to 80 degrees for a while. Then later, I moved the fermenter to the upstairs bathroom and closed the door.
- we had cool mornings and days all week, Jun 9 through Jun 13. temps in the upstairs bathroom remained in the 70s.
- on Fri, Jun 13, I moved the carboy to the basement.

Summer Wheat
- brewed on Wed, May 14
- we tasted some of the wort and the spent grains after the mash, and it tasted like a sweet oatmeal-type cereal. nice.
- bottled on Jun 1
- produced 9 bottles
- still tasty during bottling
- drank our first two bottles on Jun 14, and I liked it. Extremely carbonated to a fault. Opened bottle, then while bottle remained still on counter, bubbles rose, then more bobbles, then irruption from the sediment, then it foamed out the top for a while. fascinating to watch. unsure what's going on.
