Learning Series’ #13: Double IPA

Brewed Beers 25/02/2018

#Homebrew, #Double IPA

The fourteenth beer that I brewed.

The last beer that I brewed before starting a hiatus on homebrewing.

This is the most expensive beer that I brewed to this moment.

Learning Series’ #12: (Another) Trappist Single

Brewed Beers 14/01/2018

#Homebrew, #Trappist Single

The thirteenth beer that I brewed.

This time, I tried to brew a recipe that I already made, Trappist Single, to see if I could achieve the same quality using BIAB.

Unfortunately, I didn’t find the same yeast that I used at the first time, so I had to try a new one.

Learning Series’ #11: Herb Beer (Ilex paraguariensis)

Brewed Beers 17/11/2017

#Homebrew, #Herb Beer, #Spice, Herb or Vegetable Beer

The twelfth beer that I brewed.

This was the first beer that I brewed using a 10L BIAB equipment.

It used yerba mate (Ilex paraguariensis), “erva-mate” in portuguese, a herb that is used to make a popular beverage in southern Brazil, chimarrão.

Learning Series’ #10: Single Hop Citra American Pale Ale V2

Brewed Beers 01/07/2017

#Homebrew, #American Pale Ale

The eleventh beer that I brewed.

With more knowledge, I decided to have a second try on making a Single Hop American Pale Ale.

On this beer, I used the hop bursting technique.

Learning Series’ #9: New England IPA

Brewed Beers 24/06/2017

#Homebrew, #Specialty IPA, #New England IPA

The tenth beer that I brewed.

A style that is quite a challenge to be made in a proper way.

Also, one of the most expensive recipes that I brewed.

Learning Series’ #8: Vienna Lager

Brewed Beers 04/06/2017

#Homebrew, #Vienna Lager

The ninth beer that I brewed.

This was the first lager that I brewed.

As CervaSerra’s cold room was set to ale temperature, I wouldn’t be able to ferment this beer properly. For this reason, I used a mixed (lager and ale) yeast.

Learning Series’ #7: (Another) English IPA

Brewed Beers 21/05/2017

#Homebrew, #English IPA

The eighth beer that I brewed.

Tried to make another English IPA, to see if I could make it better than the first one was.

First time using liquid yeast for the primary fermentation.

Learning Series’ #6: Trappist Single

Brewed Beers 30/04/2017

#Homebrew, #Trappist Single

The seventh beer that I brewed.

This time, I tried to brew a style that I hadn’t drink before: Trappist Single.

What caught my attention about this style was the simplicity of its recipe.

Learning Series’ #5: Berliner Weisse

Brewed Beers 15/03/2017

#Homebrew, #Berliner Weisse

The sixth beer that I brewed.

This was the first sour beer that I made. I brewed it with Fernando Sehn’s assistance, one of the most experienced homebrewers of sour and wild styles that I know.

First beer that I carbonated with CO2.

Failures’ #1: Blonde Ale

Brewed Beers 15/02/2017

#Homebrew, #Blonde Ale

The fifth beer that I brewed.

This beer was so defective that there was no workaround for it, and I had to throw away the whole batch.

The fact that it was a Blonde Ale also helped, as it is a style that is quite “straight to the point”, where all the off-flavors are quite noticeable.
