July 30, 2010. My Birthday 36 years. Only good thing: Meat, beer and noise. Was a gift from my friends 43 different bottled beers. At the end of the party says Bark. This gave a Blog. Thus was born Monich and Beer. Are my simple and honest opinions about the beers that I won and, of course, others will buy.
Tasting with family and friends a beer made by yourself is priceless. It is really a pleasure. It turns out that all pleasure requires an effort. In our case, each production requires equipment falls, sanitizes everything riding environment, etc. .. and so it is with most home brewers. I happen to think, as it gives a little job, why not start early and do two at once now? Good idea. Prepared two new recipes for the 5th. and 6a. mashing. A weizen who had long wanted to do. Also put together a recipe for a Red Irish Ale with some basic changes to see how it looked. market basket massachusetts These brassagens occurred on the 27th of January this year, but as I lost all the videos and most of the photos market basket massachusetts I'm only managing to post today. Still worth the only record that will be without many details. Work began yesterday with the milling of malts to save time. These malts below are some Red Ale that took oats too. Malts for Irish Red Ale malt Amazing how each has its difficult to grind and its characteristic market basket massachusetts flavor. One better than the other. Only those who have helped in grinding know what I'm talking about. Already going to mash all the two had protein stops. News to me. But OK, everything right. Mashing the German Weizen style is amazing how each generates a different color already in the brewhouse. Too bad no one left photo mashing Irish Red Ale. Weizen in protein market basket massachusetts rest Let's get straight market basket massachusetts to the results market basket massachusetts that were even surprising. The Irish Red Ale was not the color I planned but oats helped a lot in body and formation of cream. Resulted in a full-bodied and well hopped beer. Even not having the proper color was named Red Sea Monich Bier. Red Sea Monich Bier Since it is not easy to shoot a beer in the house and really represent the color of the beer, I used to record with different backgrounds. Below this color tops already pulls a little more to the red. Contrasts in Red Sea Finally, nothing better than to contrast against the light thereof. I think it's worth trying to do it again. Besides being good, have finished-all. Red Sea Almost market basket massachusetts Light against him. Was still very coppery, but as it was the first time, thanks. The second production was a German Weizen is a style that particularly like much. In this first version I overreacted a bit in caramelized malt, leaving her with a slightly darker color, but within the style. Schneider one type of color. Even darker than planned, body, flavor and carbonation were well within expectations. Thus was born Alpina Monich Bier. Alpina somewhat dark. hehehe market basket massachusetts Actually the picture above the liquid darkens further. Then follow other photos that help to enhance the color of the Alpine. Alpina - Orange Alpine Carbonation full steam against the light stayed pretty happy with the results of these two productions. Another very positive point was that this time everything went well with the priming and carbonation of each was excellent. For the record, market basket massachusetts I direct priming in the bucket before filling and no more bottle by bottle. That was not what I was missing, but the amount of sugar that was putting. Even so, this form greatly facilitates the packing in bottles. Good Monich the Bier family is growing and we now have four options. Aphrodite - Blond Ale Black Hawk Down - Porter Red Sea - Irish Red Ale Alpina - German Weizen would like to thank all friends and mostly market basket massachusetts family and help produce also helps to consume again. If you are interested in making beer at home, is the suggestion that you look for a ACERVA (Association of Craft Brewers) in your area. She is always open doors for new brewers. I'm already missing those two beers and preparing new productions. Until next .....
