Die Hipster Brewing: Variations on a Theme: Thebes
http://diehipsterbrewing.blogspot.com/2010/02/variations-on-theme-thebes.html
Saturday, February 20, 2010. Variations on a Theme: Thebes. As we alluded to in the previous update, the next two releases are going to be based on the Oaked Bourbon Porter base recipe. They will all have the same grain/hops/yeast, but they'll get a different treatment at some point in the process. The second in the series just hit the primary fermenter today. Again the grain bill and hop schedule is identical to the the now ' At Giza. In any case, there is a little bit in this beer. The second ingredien...

Die Hipster Brewing: Belgian Rye 2.0 and Misc
http://diehipsterbrewing.blogspot.com/2010/07/belgian-rye-20-and-misc.html
Saturday, July 31, 2010. Belgian Rye 2.0 and Misc. We bottled 5 gallons of the brown ale. That was used as the base for two other souring projects that make up 35 gallon's worth of longer term projects. As it turns out, the base beer (thankfully) very good. It is a rich brown ale that the malt is surprisingly not heavy handed. Instead the aroma and taste are closer to dried fruits. This one is just now bottle conditioning and we'll be ready to provide samples in about a week. Never ceases to surprise....

Die Hipster Brewing: Barrel warm-up, Accomplice!
http://diehipsterbrewing.blogspot.com/2010/03/barrel-warm-up-accomplice.html
Sunday, March 21, 2010. Barrel warm-up, Accomplice! Per the previous update, we're soon on the hook to create 30 gallons of something and that 30 gallons is going to be aged. So what is the recipe that we're willing to commit this volume and time investment? Logic dictates that this one should come from something already successful in our wheelhouse. A huge version of Stupid Flanders. Fits that scenario and we've done the math to make that happen if that's the way to go. Grain bill (5 gal):. Yeast (Prima...

Die Hipster Brewing: Belgian Rye Recipe and Brett Project
http://diehipsterbrewing.blogspot.com/2009/09/belgian-rye-recipe-and-brett-project.html
Wednesday, September 16, 2009. Belgian Rye Recipe and Brett Project. In January of 2009, we produced a very simple Belgian Rye that was well received. Because we were not as efficient as planned, we only ended up with 7 gallons (shooting for 10). 2 of those gallons have been aging with with added brettanomyces. While it looks like a science project, we are finally ready to complete the experiment 9 months later. 22 lbs. Pilsner malt. 20 lbs. Rye malt. Mash temp of 150 for 60 min. At this writing, we're 9...

Wednesday, December 23, 2009. Holidays, Travis and East Coast "Distribution". Happy Holidays from Die Hipster. We're essentially saying that to ourselves considering this blog's reach. So, 'Thanks us! Not much brewing work this month due to weather and travel. However, Oaked Bourbon Porter. The non-blended one) are making very limited appearances in PA, NY and NJ. We're talking 5 total bottles. Let the waves of adulation begin. She's not just a martian, she's a genius! BTW, that video is really worth wat...

Thursday, April 22, 2010. 30 Gallons in 12 hours. A Recap and What we Learned. Our barrel is calmly waiting for us to put it to good use. The biggest hurdle (hopefully) was completed last Sunday. In about 11 hours, we managed to brew three 10-gallon batches on one set of equipment. Pre-planning was huge and have to thank Griz's crew over at SF Brewcraft. 105 lbs Maris Otter. 200 lbs Munich Light. 150 lbs Crystal 120L. 010 lbs Black Patent. 60 min: 2.0 oz East Kent Goldings 4.0 AA. Running the wort chille...

Die Hipster Brewing: Variations on a Theme: At Giza
http://diehipsterbrewing.blogspot.com/2009/11/oaked-bourbon-porter.html
Sunday, November 1, 2009. Variations on a Theme: At Giza. Before getting into this one, also updated the Berlinerweisse post. Update. . .this is now part of the Variations on a Theme series:. October was a mix of gorgeous days and a lot of rain. As a result, we're skipping the malty harvest/Oktoberfest/pumpkin beers. We are not really in love with those in any case. Instead we are planning for the winter with an Imperial Oaked Bourbon Porter. The brew day recipes is as follows:. 11 lbs. Domestic 2-row.

Die Hipster Brewing: October Updates, Go!
http://diehipsterbrewing.blogspot.com/2010/10/october-updates-go.html
Saturday, October 30, 2010. October Updates, Go! Fairly long brewing drought in these parts as we play the patience game while Giggy Smile. And Stupid Flanders 2. Continue to age in their various forms. Stupid Flanders will be a year old in a few weeks and is coming along nicely. We'll be bottling that one very soon. Clone is done, bottled and ready to go. Not enamored with this one and we'll give it some more time to see if bottle conditioning cleans it up a tad. Our Belgian Pale Rye. Belgian Rye 2.0.

Die Hipster Brewing: Berliner Weisse Recipe/Notes
http://diehipsterbrewing.blogspot.com/2009/08/berliner-weisse-recipenotes.html
Tuesday, August 25, 2009. After three different pales this summer (should be ready to do a comparison taste test soon). Wanting to do a Berlinerweisse was inspired by three things:. 1 Hanson ordered this in Berlin and it came back green. The waitress asked "Mit shuss? And of course he nodded which gave her the go ahead to put green woodruff syrup in the beer. The picture below is not mine (thank you to the person that does own it), however that's exactly what came to the table. 375 lbs of pilsner malt.
