The BEER dad Countdown

Posted by Chad on Thursday 4 June 2009

Tonight I will embark on a journey I call the BEER dad countdown.

First 12 brews from BEERdad

Like a modern day Noah, but crafty, I have been saving two of every beer I’ve made.

Sumatra Stout

I brewed homebrew #13 a couple weeks ago, and it just got to the point where it is ready to drink.  This time we made another coffee beer using 1/2lb of the Sumatra Mandheling I have been roasting and selling on Twitter as @WichitaCoffee.

BEER dad Chili

While my third batch of coffee beer has been ready for most of the month, I decided that rather than bragging about it on here I would instead make my way around town and pass out samples.

This weekend BEER mom and I brewed up another one of our award winning concoctions – chili. The exact recipe we use is top secret, mainly because it wins at chili cook-offs, but here is a list of ingredients it includes:

Espresso Stout

Posted by Chad on Saturday 1 November 2008

My porter is running low so Laura and I brewed espresso stout tonight.  We made some for our second brew last December and liked it, so I decided to make more. This is our 9th brew.

I used my own secret recipe this time, and my own beans, since I didn’t roast coffee last time I made it.  It won’t be ready for her 21st birthday, but that’s ok because I wouldn’t want to share it with her friends anyway. We will bottle it next weekend and should be able to drink it by the 18th.
