Recipe Ideas?

So I am done with finals and have a month off so I can brew and not have to budget my time between homework and brewing.

But I am at a loss.
I don’t know what to brew. I have a blackberry wheat, horizon pale ale, and Mexican style cervesa bottled.
I am looking to see if anyone has any interesting idea for me to brew on Monday.

I want to have a brew that will be done bottled and ready to go in a month.
Only thing I am not interested in is a porter or stout.

Help…please and thank you

a few weeks ago the recipe of the week was pliny the toddler or there abouts.  give that a shot, otherwise how about a belgian blonde

A Steam Beer! If you can ferment at 50 or so…

If you want a strong beer, go full on and brew the Elder clone recipe if you’ve never done it.
Pliny the Elder
I’m down to my last 3/4 keg of 10 gallons and rationing through the holidays.  It is sublime.
That said, next time I make a session it’s likely to be the Toddler.

Man, I suck at inserting hyperlinks.
How do you rockstars do the hyperlinked text trick?

Without the spaces after the first bracket and before the last.

I like the idea of a Belgian blonde. I have had them but never made one.
A common sounds good but the temp control fridge is tide up.

Have any good recipes for a blonde?

I might have to do Pliny next week too

Thanks for the ideas

Tbiggest thing is that I have to have it ready by jan 14 for the annual ice Fishing adventure. So I could do something too big. I also bottle so I would need something with a fast turn over.

In that case the Toddler might be better. See Drew’s article in the November/December Zymurgy for express brewing info., the Toddler recipe is in the article as well.

Thanks for the tip Tygo!

I normally allow things to settle out and clear up over time never tried crash cooling.

Is my idea right let the beer ferment out to terminal then put in a cold fridge so the temp drops fast after it clears in the fridge rack to a bottling bucket and bottle. Could I leave it in the same container until bottling?

Yep and yep.

That’s what I would do if you’re going to bottle.  Drew’s method is for kegs and calls for racking twice at the end of days 4 & 5. I think the really important point of the article is to select a yeast that will floc out quickly. He recommends Wyeast 1275, and warns against using WLP001, 1056 or US-05.  If I were going to try your approach, I would begin by making a starter ASAP, crashing at the end of day 4 and rack/bottle on day 6 to give your bottles as much time as possible to carbonate and clarify.

I was thinking of doing my go to beer a cream ale that’s really hard to mess up and still tastes good if your not observant. The only problem is that I use 1056 for it. Any ideas on sub yeast the recipe is like the one you get from midwest

I believe the general recommendation was to go with British strains.

Would 1098 work for a cream ale?

I do what’s called Patersbier…pils malt to a 1.050 OG, about 25 IBU of Hallertauer for bittering, .5 oz. Saaz at 10 min. for finishing.  Ferment in the mow-mid 60s with WY3787.

Give it a shot. It’s British and was one of my favorites way back when I could find the Whitbread dry yeast.
