English Porter

Codename : Westfort Red River Porter This is an English style porter, but with it, I am adding something so very quintessentially Canadian, about 10% of the grain bill will be Red River Cereal. Using rye malt as my guideline for how the cereal addition will affect the mash. A little history on the style. Originating in London in the...

Spent Grain Flour

Codename : Spent Grain Flour Previously I had baked with the spent grain, going to mix it up by taking that wet spent grain, dry it out, and grind it into flour. This method utilises a dehydrator. Ingredients At least 4 cups of spent grain (4 cups should get you about 1 cup of finished product) Instructions Line the trays...

Imperial Stout

Codename : Westglen Imperial Stouthorpe Pilot Having had good success with other Imperial Stouts, including, but not limited to fortifying a previous batch with bourbon, this one will be fortified with Scotch whisky, specifically Glenmorangie 10 yo, ergo the clever name 🙂 As there is an increased cost of resources to make this batch, I decided to scale it down by...

Best Bitter

Codename : Westfort Best Bitterthorpe With this batch, I am trying something a little different, utilising a technique called high gravity brewing. That is, I reduced the initial water requirements, brewed to a higher specific gravity than required, then added water in a step called fermenter top-up The choice of using one litre was completely arbitrary, using a best guess...

London Brown Ale

Codename : Mountain Portage Londinium Alethorpe Doing my own research, I was looking for other styles of the British Isles, and discovered a rare one called a London Brown Ale. It tends to be very low alcohol, in the 3% range, brownish in colour, and a little sweet. This is my first attempt! Ingredients 15 oz Maris Otter (3.8L) 3...

American Wheat Beer

Codename : Mountain Portage Crabapple Sasquatch In an attempt to do something that is out of the ordinary, I put together a recipe that incorporates the seasonal fruit of the area, crabapples, but in jelly form! Since we had new crabapple juice, but a nice jelly, I used it as a sugar during the boil. The clever name comes from...

Dark Mild

Codename : Mountain Portage Dork Fog This is a bit of an experimental batch, wanting to emulate a London Fog Tea, but in beer form. Choosing a low gravity dark mild, steeping in Earl Grey tea bags, finally adding in lactose sugar for the sweetness.
