Three-time Ninkasi Award winner, Gordon Strong has been a towering
presence in the homebrewing community for many years. Now this
Grandmaster Beer Judge invites you on a guided tour through over
100 of his own as-brewed recipes. While discussing the fundamentals
of homebrewing, the author also invites you to develop your own
style, with tips on recipe formulation and ingredients
substitutions. In the initial chapters, Strong cover the basics of
brewing, summarizing a variety of processes relating to water
adjustment, mashing, and hopping. The author concisely and clearly
lays out techniques like infusion mashing, step infusion,
decoction, cereal mashes, and hybrid mash schedules. Get the
rundown on adding hops in the boil, first wort hopping, hop
bursting, whirlpool and steeping, hopbacks, and dry hopping. Learn
the basics of recipe design and how to think about style recipe
profiles; know the intensity of your ingredients and what
contributes to a balanced recipe and how that might differ between
styles—do you know what makes a balanced IPA versus a lambic?
Make intelligent substitutions with ingredients you have and become
comfortable scaling recipes, accounting for volume losses, mash
efficiencies, and differences in hop utilization. The recipes
themselves are tried and tested, provided by the author as he has
brewed them, including specific advice and sensory profiles, plus
insights into the creative process behind each recipe. There are
myriad IPAs and everyday styles for easy drinking, such as pale
ale, blonde ale, wheat beer, altbier, Kolsch, and brown and amber
ales. Classic and modern lager recipes include Vienna, dunkel,
Maibock, Oktoberfest, bock, and schwarzbier. Dark beers are
plentiful, with dark milds, porters, and stouts, making a nod to
both American and classic English versions. Stronger fare is on
offer with barleywine, strong ales, and winter warmers; lovers of
Belgian beer will also find an eclectic selection of traditional
recipes, as well as some saisons and biere de garde. For when the
creative juices are really flowing, the author includes a
collection of experimental and historical recipes that may not find
a place in any set style—pale mild or dubbel American brown ale,
anyone?—but are delicious nonetheless.
