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...

Imperial Stout

Codename : Ukrainian Imperial Stouthorpe Redux This is my second attempt at brewing this stout. In my first batch, I used a lot of substitute speciality malts, while adhering to the spirit of the recipe. I elected to purchase the malts necessary to match the original recipe. The timing of this batch roughly coincides with the first anniversary of the...

This is yet another one in my redemption series. Just to prove I can do it right! Ingredients 1 lb 14 oz Pearl pale...

Oatmeal Stout

Codename : Westfort Toujour Pas St. Ambroise My previous attempt at cloning St. Amboise, was close, but not quite. I have adjusted the recipe to reduce the dark malts, in an attempt to emulate the taste of the original. The not so clever name you ask? Still Not St. Ambroise. Ingredients 1 lb 8 oz Pearl pale malt (2.8L) 2.5...

Irish Red Ale

Codename : Westfort St. Paddy’s Red Alethorpe In anticipation of St. Patrick’s Day, I am putting together something to celebrate the Emerald Isle. This Irish Red Ale should fit the bill.

Ordinary Bitter

Codename : Westfort Yorkshire Bitterthorpe This is another recipe from Home Brew Beer by Greg Hughes. I scaled it down from the original 5 gallon recipe. As I was preparing the malt, I adjusted some of the proportions on the fly to use up old ingredients. This one becomes part of my helter-skelter series. I also scaled it up a little,...
