Belgian Candi Sugar

Codename : Belgian Candi Sugar In preparation of an upcoming batch of beer, I have opted to make my own candi instead of purchase it, I found a recipe from another homebrewer, in which he does a full explanation of the process. In the article he said the recipe scales up and down very easily. I took some basic liberties...

English Barleywine

Codename : Westfort Pig Dog Barleywinethorpe Pilot This was my week for trying pilot batches, so I ventured into an English Barleywine. I have already had success with Imperial Stouts at 10%, so I decided to try something new. I had found in the past that barleywines were a little too sweet for my taste, ergo the scaled down version,...

Imperial Stout

Codename : Westfort Fluffy Cow Imperial Stouthorpe Pilot Having had good success with other Imperial Stouts, I decided to elevate my game, and try a bourbon stout, using oak chips and bourbon. In this case, I acquired a bottle of Buffalo Trace, to kick things up. Ergo the clever name 🙂 As there is an increased cost of resources to...

Rye IPA

Codename : Westfort Ryetirement IPA When a friend asked me if I was going to do a special batch of beer for my retirement, I was inspired to do a series of beers. All of which will rely heavily on rye malt, paving the way for the “clever” naming scheme. As I was researching IPA styles in the last year,...

British Brown Ale

Codename : Westfort Old Brown Shoe Redemption My previous attempt at this was a brew fail. I didn’t get the sugar to alcohol conversion I was looking for, and cheated by adding brown sugar. This is yet another one in my redemption series. Just to prove I can do it right! The name is inspired, once again, by the great...
