Our next club competition is... Dark Beers! Any style is acceptable, the higher the SRM the better. We're hoping to hold the competition sometime in February, so there's plenty of time to brew. 🍻

Here's @ancelh's recent autumnal brew: "Made a pumpkin ale made with generously caramelized sweet pumpkin and heavy handed portions of nutmeg, cinnamon, and ginger. Best garnished with local honey and a maple cinnamon sugar rim." 🍂🎃🍻

It's @thebencentra's first time growing hops, and the cones are finally starting to grow! "I went with Cascade, I love adding a little citrus to non-hoppy styles like my Kolsch. If I'm lucky, I'll harvest enough for one very small batch this year."

If you want to grow hops in a planter next season, you can follow this guide: https://byo.com/article/growing-hops-in-containers/

Here's Dan Perez's homebrew contribution to his brother's wedding:

"Brewed up a straightforward Hefeweizen, first time as an open fermentation and carbonated with reserved wort. Cobbled together a serving vessel from an old barrel on Craigslist that I touched up and some existing draft equipment. Glad I didn’t have to resort to a tub of ice and a picnic tap for their special day!"

Here's PMB member @thebencentra's latest: a Blackberry Hibiscus Gose. Sweet, a little sour, and low ABV, it's a great drink for summer! Made with fresh blackberries + extract, lactic acid, a pinch of sea salt, and lots of dried hibiscus.

Ever think to yourself, "how can I combine my two favorite things, oysters and beer?" We have an answer: make oyster beer! We're adding some favorite club recipes to our website, including @hadleywright's Oyster Saison and @chefreedallaboutit's recent competition-winning Light German Lager. Check them out! (Link in bio)

Here's @its_the_elk's entry into our upcoming "Lawnmower Beer" competition:

"10 gallons of Nelson Sauvin Blonde into the fermenter last week. Adding a small dry hop charge after one week of fermentation. After racking the wort on top of the Imperial Kveiking at 95 degrees fermentation took off within 3 hours."

What did you brew today?

Here's PMB president Colin Elliott's latest brew, a Black Treacle Stout:

"The recipe is based on a standard oatmeal stout, with a tin of Lyle's Black Treacle added in as an adjunct. The final product clocked in at around 7% ABV and had a rich caramel finish with just a hint of anise."

Here's PMB member @hadleywright's latest project:

"I built a collar out of oak to upgrade my keezer so I didn’t have to serve from picnic taps anymore. Despite having little previous woodworking experience, I was able to build this thanks to advice from fellow PMBers, a lot of internet research, and two trips to Home Depot."

Fermented under 5psi and ready to enjoy right out of the tank. Served at cellar temperature, ideal in early spring and late fall.

Brewed 1/6/21
Kegged 2/7/21"

Here's the latest brew from PMB member @thebencent

Here's the latest brew from PMB member @thebencentra:

"Cäscade Kölsch is a standard Kölsch recipe with a small twist: I added a healthy dose of Cascade hops post-boil for an extra citrus punch. It still has that classic bready, bitter taste with a splash of orange peel on the nose and aftertaste."
