Homebrewers - Who is up for a BOTL brew?

[Lomey]

I like this idea. It will get me motivated to get my brewing equipment out again after not using it for a few years. I'm definitely a novice and would welcome guidance from some of the experts on here.

I like porters with cigars the most, but I'm open to almost anything.

I would also be happy to share with brothers in the area. I know we have quite a few members from the Kansas City area on here.

I was just looking to brew a stout for the upcoming winter months! Count me in!

 

[Lomey]

Where is this at? Just don't want it to get buried.

 

[StogieFisher]

Its right here. Does anyone have concerns with Lagers? I know not everyone has the temp control equipment to ferment them but could substitute ale yeast and get pretty close results.

I will post a survey in a new thread shortly unless there is a way to add it to the initial post in this one.

 

[StogieFisher]

Figured out how to add the poll, pick your top 3 styles and we will go from there. If there is a tie then @Eric is the deciding vote.

Love this idea, I've never brewed before but thought I would throw in my vote anyways.

You live near any of the cali BOTL brewers?

@Jesse could always take a trip down to San Diego one weekend and help out with a teeny tiny scale batch

 

[StogieFisher]

Or head to Washington for a 35gallon batch

I vote for doppelbock. Clean, malty, full bodied, sweet yet balanced, toasty, nutty. All the wonderful flavors of a great cigar in liquid alcohol.

Not sure who brews out here in Cali, sure I could find out once this takes off.

Yeah, I'm sure I could do that as well.

Actually, I do have a trip planned in June sometime next year. Sister-In-Law is getting married on the east side of the state and will more than likely be driving up but we'll see.

Tasty beer? Tasty Cigars? I'm in...to take a recipe to someone I know that brews beer that is.

I hear Ian needs some company

Whenever you guys decide what you're brewing I would love to try and aid with the label making (from an artistic perspective). It would definitely have to have some essence of BOTL of course. I would say I would participate in the brewing as well, but I am on the verge of making my first ever homebrew and feel like this would be an aggressive start.

 

[StogieFisher]

Eh, you might as well take the plunge and join in on the BOTL brew. Gotta learn somehow!

We should be able to work up a malt extract version. That's how everyone starts. Make it right on your stove.

 

[HollyVVOOD]

Yeah Extract is super easy. I have yet to take the plunge into All Grain. One day

 

[StogieFisher]

All grain is easy as well, just takes longer to complete and a little more equipment. On the plus side it gives you more smoking time

 

[EricT]

Well depend when this happens, I may or may not participate. Either way I will be observing and enjoying the happenings.
