Ever think to yourself, "how can I combine my two

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)

Thanks to vaccines and good weather, we were able to hold a real in-person gathering this past weekend! We had a big showing for our "Lawnmower" (session) beer competition. Out of 12 entries, our top three were:

3) @trichloroethene's Belgian Table Beer with Lime Peel

2) @thebencentra's Peach Wheat Ale

And the winner is...

1) @chefreedallaboutit's Light German Lager!

Thanks to our hosts @its_the_elk and @joasia.elkinton, everyone who brewed, and everyone who came out!

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."

For today's @homebrewassoc Big Brew on National Homebrew Day, PMB member @thebencentra kicked off his Blackberry Hibiscus Gose. Coriander and hibiscus were in the boil today, and fresh blackberries will be added to the fermenter next week!

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."

PMB member @its_the_elk brewed a club favorite, a Dark Mild!

"Dark Mild Ale 3.8% abv.

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."

Check out @rigbybenjamin's latest creation:

"A no-frills stout that’s rich and malty. Weighing in at 4.5%ABV it has notes of burnt caramel, sweet oats, and roasted grain; a perfect match to an Irish brown bread for St. Patrick’s day. The stout bundt cake may have been even better!"

We had a great time at @cbc_belmont 's Beers With Friends event this week! Thanks to @danibabs8 from @rr_brewingco, @cmarvs17 from @lamplighterbrew, and @jobeshire from @nightshiftbrewing for your excellent beers and for answering our questions. 🍻 #beer #massbeerweek #massbeer

Here's PMB member @its_the_elk's latest brew:

"Brewed a lager showcasing local Stone Path Malt and Yakima Valley Triumph Hops. The hops go to benefit the Wellness House in Yakima valley.

I started this brew by making 2 2 Liter starters,each from one pitch of Omega Harvest (L17), then transferred most of the yeast from one starter into the other flask, and added another 2L of fresh wort onto the remaining which caused a very vigorous second stage starter.

The resultant pitch was added to 11 gallons of 1.054 wort produced on my electric HERMS brewery with most of the hops being added late in the boil due to their high (10%) AA content which prevented a more typical lager hopping schedule.

The resultant wort was hoppy smelling and amber in color (And my dog Amber even hung around for brew day which she doesn't usually do)"

A Belgian stout by PMB member @trichloroethene: "

A Belgian stout by PMB member @trichloroethene:

"Inspired by Allagash Black, and Bruz Beers Onyx, this belgian stout is a more session-able take on the style coming in at 5.5%.

Pilsner, torrified wheat, caramel, roast, and pale chocolate malts give classic stout notes or coffee and chocolate while expressive Belgian yeast and muscavado sugar lend notes of stone fruit and molasses.

Pairs well with strong cheese and frisée aux lardons."

Here's a potential new invention from PMB member @rigbybenjamin: "I am calling it a 'Bitter American.' It's a standard English bitter recipe, but with more hops than is typical. Still mostly Fuggles though."

Here's another Belgian Witbier, this one from PMB member @ancelh! "Followed a traditional recipe but used cara-cara orange peels and dry hopped with citra. Sits at 5% abv and is surprisingly very crisp and refreshing."

Here's the final product of @chefreedallaboutit's robust porter: "came out great with notes of cocoa, vanilla, and and a nice bitterness that lets it dry out in the finish." #beer #homebrew #homebrewing #porter
