Beer Recipes

Traditional Styles:
Maredsous BDSA 2011 - Same wort as BDSA 2011, used dregs from Maredsous Bruin
Belgian Dark Strong 2011 - 1.089, Blend of Achouffe/Rochefort yeasts, complex malt bill
Belgian Dubbel 2011 - A few changes: lower IBU, WLP575 yeast, real D2 syrup, and softer water.
Achouffe Pale Ale - BPA wort with dregs from Achouffe - nice big Belgian phenols.
Rochefort Pale Ale - BPA wort with dregs from Rochefort 8 - nice mild fruitiness
Belgian Pale Ale - I made a pretty traditional grist and tried the White Labs Yeast Blend WLP575
French Saison - A traditional Saison grist with a touch of acid malt and fermented with Wyeast French Saison yeast.
Old Ale - this is an old world version with English treacle, Oak and Brett C (which was originally isolated from a stock ale barrel)
Belgian Golden Strong -  A Classic middle range Belgian Golden Strong with WLP500 (Chimay) yeast. It had some super attenuation and is now over 10% and has a lot of alcohol warmth. It will be aged.
Belgian Dubbel - my attempt at the style with a big focus toward dark fruit, and tried to make my own candi syrup. Also with WLP500 (Chimay) yeast.
California Common - I brewed this to be competition worthy. I got the malt very right but need a ton more hops.
American Amber Ale - A true West Coast hop bomb. Brewed for my Sister's Graduation.
2010 Scottish 80 - Brewed to Jamil's recipe except with some Oatmeal to improve head retention and mouthfeel.

Sours:
Fantome Noel Dark Saison - dregs from a bottle of Fantome de Noel added to my Dark Saison wort and will age on some Spanish cedar used for cigars.
Lente Saison - Used the dregs from the Bruery's Saison de Lente in my Traditional French Saison wort.
2011 Flanders Red - Minor grist changes with Maris Otter and Flaked corn. Using the second pitch from the Rosealare yeast. Also using a softer water profile.
Brett C Saison - Used White Labs Brett C only in Traditional French Saison wort.
Spring Gose - a quick sour beer. I made a twist on the Classic Gose and added cranberries and zest from oranges and lemons. Very drinkable.
Scottish Stock Ale - My Scottish Ale formed a bunch of Diacetyl after using gelatin (reason still unknown) so I added the dregs of Mikkeller It's Alright
Avery 15 Old Ale - I liked the previous of Bitter batch so much a had to pitch a gallon of Old Ale wort on the yeast cake.
Avery 15 Bitter - Used Avery 15 (or Drie Fonteinen) dregs in my Best Bitter wort. This beer is super fruity with very little sourness so far. I just wish I made more.
Holiday Party Oud Bruin - I used all the yeast dregs from beers we drank at our Holiday Party into the my Oud Bruin wort.
Oud Bruin 2010 - Jamil's recipe but with1 lb of Flaked Maize and using the White Lab's Sour Mix.
Brett C Brown Ale -a slightly roasted Brown Ale that I added the dregs from a friend's beer that had an English ale yeast and White Labs Brett C. The roast and funk are a nice combo.

2010 English Mild - this beer is getting close to perfected, has just the right amount of roast and just enough body to be the perfect winter session beer.
Belgian Single, Patersbier, Enkel -  a low alcohol, Monk's beer. Basically a glorified yeast starter for my WLP500 Chimay yeast.
