May 2010

So far to date i have brewed American Light Ale (February 2010), Pilsner 100% malt (April 2010).

This months special brew is a Belgian Wheat Beer recipe provided by Charlie Papazian's book, Complete Guide to Homebrewing. It uses a wheat and barley malt extract (65% Wheat and 35% barley malt) made by Breiss Malts, in addition I added some coriander and orange beer to give it the classic belgian witbier character.

It fermented for a bit more than a week and has been bottled and sampled. The flavor is fairly mellow and rather tasty. It is similar to store bought Blue Moon but with the homebrewed twist. I will be making this one again, perhaps with more orange peel and crushed corriander instead of whole.

Kosher Home Brew at its best

Welcome to my Kosher Homebrewed beer blog. I recently started making some of the best quality home brewed beer I have ever tried. Even the most basic homebrew blows the commercially brewed filtered sissy stuff away. I have done some extensive research into finding some good options and varieties of both kosher beer making ingredients as well as some specialty yeasts all under reliable kosher supervision. Details will be posted on this site soon.
