Nestle’s got some sort of new coffee brewing. Fermented and foamy like beer, but non-alcoholic. I still miss Double Hook.
Our second batch of beer is just about done with primary fermentation. This one’s hopefully going to be some sort of European ale. We kind of went with something like the Joy of Home Brewing’s Belgian Wit and French Biere de Garde. The prior’s yeast wasn’t available, so we did like the latter, but I added some coriander seed to the grain when making the wort. I’m thinking of doing honey for the carbonation sugar. We’ll see how it turns out. If it goes well maybe we’ll be inspired to do more experimenting.
I wonder if I wrote Red Hook if they’d give me some guidance on how to make a Double Hook-esque stout since they don’t anymore. Or if I can find a similar recipe anywhere…
