Owd Müller's Blog de Garde: Robot Pale Ale
http://owdmueller.blogspot.com/2009/07/robot-pale-ale.html
Thursday, July 9, 2009. The color is a nice hazy copper/amber color, about what I wanted, Aroma has a classic Belgian yeast aroma, slightly fruity with an underlying bready sweetness. The flavor is similar with a little caramel sweetness up front followed by some dried fruit flavors and a little hint of spice. A nice overall Belgian character. Not overly complex or deep. Body is about medium and could use a little more dryness and carbonation. Original Gravity: 1.062. Final Gravity: 1.016. ABV = 6.0%.

Owd Müller's Blog de Garde: Amarillo IPA
http://owdmueller.blogspot.com/2010/12/amarillo-ipa.html
Saturday, December 4, 2010. After abut five months of no home brew I was really eager to brew up a nice hoppy IPA. I decided to go with all Amarillo hops again. I should really branch out and try some different hops in my IPA but the wife and I both love the grapefruit blast from Amarillo hops, so delicious. Twice in the past and I can see myself repeating this recipe at least once a year. Expected OG: 1.065. Actual OG: 1.063. Expected FG: 1.012. Actual FG: 1.009. Pre-boil Volume: 7.0 gallons. 9/30/2010 ...

Monday, January 10, 2011. Boulevard's New and Improved Website. I'm sure you've seen Boulevard's website redo by now. If you haven't go take a look. There was one improvement. I found to be especially interesting as a homebrewer that I wanted to point out. Now, if anybody knows exactly what they mean by "dark sugar" please let me know. Posted by Owd Müller.

Owd Müller's Blog de Garde: The Grapefruit Express
http://owdmueller.blogspot.com/2009/06/grapefruit-express.html
Tuesday, June 16, 2009. For my third batch of home brew I decided it was past time for a hoppy brew. After looking at several different recipes I settled on an Amarillo IPA recipe that I found on the home brew forum at BeerAdvocate.com. Pours a hazy dark golden color, almost copper with a fluffy white cap that leave plenty of lacing on the side of the glass. Aroma starts with a load of grapefruit with little else, maybe a little grassy. Just a hint of bready malt as it warms. Original Gravity: 1.075.

Owd Müller's Blog de Garde: March 2010
http://owdmueller.blogspot.com/2010_03_01_archive.html
Sunday, March 7, 2010. I can't believe it's been a year already. Why it seems like it was just the other day. That I was over-pouring my extract, mis-measuring my gravity, and forgetting to stir in my priming solution. I've come so far in the last year. Now I'm screwing up my mash temps, missing my target OG, and still forgetting to stir in my priming solution. Expected OG: 1.090. Actual OG: 1.073. Expected FG: 1.020. Actual FG: 1.021. Pre-boil Volume: 7 gallons (estimate). Final Volume: 5 gallons. Drain...

Owd Müller's Blog de Garde: September 2010
http://owdmueller.blogspot.com/2010_09_01_archive.html
Sunday, September 12, 2010. The reports of my death are greatly exaggerated. I'm going to try and get this blog going again. First a quick recap of what I've done during my hiatus. Added a new brew kettle:. So far this year I've managed to brew eight beers. Twelve Pound Red 1.0 - A hoppy red ale using Centennial and Cascade hops. Pretty good beer with a nice balance between the hops and the malt. Twelve Pound Red 2.0 - Went with Simcoe and Amarillo this time. Also nice. Posted by Owd Müller. I Will Not W...

Owd Müller's Blog de Garde: Red Ale #3
http://owdmueller.blogspot.com/2011/01/red-ale-3.html
Saturday, January 1, 2011. This is my third attempt at brewing a hoppy red ale. The two. Versions were both pretty good. This recipe is pretty much the same as the first version except I reduced the amount of pale chocolate malt. I thought there was a little too much roast flavor in the previous versions. I originally started with the recipe from Brewing Classic Styles. Expected OG: 1.055. Actual OG: 1.055. Expected FG: 1.015. Actual FG: 1.010. Pre-boil Volume: 6.25 gallons. Final Volume: 5 gallons.

Owd Müller's Blog de Garde: Happy Festivus
http://owdmueller.blogspot.com/2010/12/happy-festivus.html
Thursday, December 23, 2010. First a grievance then we'll move on to the the feats of (alcohol) strength. My grievance: seasonal creep. I don't want to see Christmas displays in the summer (looking at you Hobby Lobby. And I really don't need to hear Christmas music until late December. What I really don't want is a Spring seasonal beer when it's still freezing outside. Apparently. Boulevard has already released it's Irish Ale. Last year's Festivus Ale. Expected OG: 1.070. Actual OG: 1.066. 8 oz Cane Sugar.

Owd Müller's Blog de Garde: Hurricane Burner
http://owdmueller.blogspot.com/2010/12/hurricane-burner.html
Friday, December 10, 2010. I finally stepped up to a propane burner. Thanks Mom and Dad) so I can start brewing outside. The 60,000 BTU's make my brew days noticeably shorter. Highly recommended.

Owd Müller's Blog de Garde: Fermented News
http://owdmueller.blogspot.com/2011/01/fermented-news.html
Thursday, January 27, 2011. There is a new coalition trying to get rid of the ridiculous law that only allows grocery/convenience stores to sell low gravity beer (3.2% ABW). Their big hook is increased jobs which I find that questionable, but whatever lies they have to spin to make buying beer/wine more convenient is okay with me. Lots of other states (missouri) allow it and they all still have plenty of independent liquor stores. [ LJ World. Iron Man Imperial Stout? Posted by Owd Müller. Free State Brew...
