Foot's FrostyOne Blog

I've been testing a bunch of recipes and brewing up a storm lately.

So far I've made

Pumpernickel Ale
Classic IPA
Chocolate Oatmeal Porter
Heffeweisse
Buckwheat Ale
Bohemian Pilsner
German Pilsner
Schwarzbier (Extra Dark Lager)
Roman Chamomile Ale

I'll post some photos after I get them off the camera. Just a heads up and a nod to lola's blog.

They sound delicious!
Is the Roman chamomile in place of hops? Or in addition to?

Parallel blogs, also fantastic.

Here are a couple of photos of recent beers. Tonight I discovered that two bottles of my Quotidian Ale blew up. I may have bottled it too soon, I have to check my notes.

I also tried my extra dark lager, very passable. Not terribly dry, but I think it will improve in the coming months.

I have a lot of bottling to do this weekend, about 8 gallons of pilsner is ready. I also made an English Brown Ale the other day that has a rather long fermentation schedule. 4 days in primary, 10 days in secondary, and 14 in tertiary before bottling. It's a fairly high gravity ale.

Mouse over for styles

I re-installed my video software so I should be getting a few vids up to vimeo in the next few days.

Here's the Quotidian Ale, a low alcohol "session beer." around 4% ABV.

Last night I bottled a batch of Pumpernickel V. 2. I added more caraway seeds and toasted them first. Still very faint, next tiem I will bruise them.

Also bottled a small test batch of Quotidian Brown, a slightly higher gravity version of QA, darker, more malty.

I also brewed a clone of Old Speckled Hen, and another test batch of a Peachy Belgian ale spiced with Cardamom and Cinnamon. (Sorry Glatt, it was just regular old co-op cinnamon.)

I'm excited to find out how that turns out.

I'm out of bottles! I have to go redeem some more at the bottle return place.
