From BYO.com

Replicator: Flying Fish Brewery's Farmhouse Summer Ale by Steve Bader The replicator comes up with a homebrew clone recipe for a refreshing commercial summer ale.

Dear Replicator,
Our favorite ale is Flying Fish’s seasonal Farmhouse Summer Ale. We enjoy this beer all summer long at our local pubs and are sad to see that it is out of season. We’ve tried a number of Belgian white ale recipes, but can’t seem to replicate the crisp and refreshing aroma and taste of this brew. Can you help?
Gene and Sharon Zak
Sewell, New Jersey

Replicator replies: I spoke to head brewer Jonathan Zangwill at Flying Fish about this seasonal beer. Jonathan describes Farmhouse Summer ale as a beer that does not fit into a traditionally recognized beer style. It is light in color with low hop bitterness. Jonathan says “what makes this beer so delicious is its crisp, slightly sour and citrusy finish. The beer drinks so easy on hot days, you don’t even realize you are drinking beer.”
The crisp, slightly sour flavor comes from a “sour mash” with a small portion of the grain used to make this beer. If this malt gets so stinky you could never imagine putting it anywhere but the trash can, it’s perfect! For more information visit www.flyingfish.com or call 856-489-0061.

Flying Fish Brewery – Farmhouse Summer Ale
(5 gallon/19 L, extract with grains)
OG = 1.045–1.048 FG = 1.010–1.011
IBU = 18 SRM = 3+ ABV = 4.3–4.6%

Ingredients
3.3 lbs. (1.5 kg) Coopers light malt extract syrup
2.2 lbs. (1.0 kg) Briess wheat dry malt extract
0.5 lbs. (0.2 kg) wheat malt
3 oz. (85 g) Carapils (dextrin) malt
3 oz. (85 g) pale 2-row malt (for sour mash)
1.0 AAU Styrian Golding hops
(0.25 oz./7g of 4.0% alpha acid)
3.5 AAU Magnum
(0.25 oz./1.8 g of 14.0% alpha acid)
2.1 AAU Styrian Golding hops
(0.53 oz./15 g of 4.0% alpha acid)
1.4 AAU Styrian Golding hops
(0.35 oz./10 g of 4.0% alpha acid)
White Labs WLP005 (British Ale) or
Wyeast 1098 (British Ale) yeast
0.75 cup of corn sugar (for priming)

Step by Step
For the sour mash, start 2–3 days in advance. Steep 3 oz. (85 g) 2-row pale malt in a pint of 150 ºF (66 ºC) water, then cover and let sit for 2–3 days. On brew day, steep the sour mash along with the wheat and dextrin malt grains in 3 gallons (11.4 L) of water at 152 ºF (67 ºC) for 30 mins. Remove grains from wort, add the first wort addition of Styrian Golding hops, malt syrup and dry malt extract, tnen bring to a boil. Add the Magnum hops and boil for 60 mins. Add the second addition of Styrian Golding hops for the last 30 mins. of the boil and add the last addition of Styrian Golding hops for the last 2 mins. of the boil. Now add wort to 2 gallons cool water in a sanitary fermenter and top off with cool water to 5.5 gallons (20.9 L). Cool the wort to 75 ºF (24 ºC), aerate the beer and pitch your yeast. Allow the beer to cool over the next few hours to 68 ºF (20 ºC) and hold at this temperature until the yeast has finished fermentation. Bottle and enjoy!

All-grain option:
This is a single infusion mash. Do the sour mash the same as above. On brew day, add 8.7 lbs. (3.9 kg) of 2 row, 0.5 lbs. (0.2 kg) wheat malt and 3 oz. (85 g) of dextrin malt to complete the grain bill. Mash grains and sour mash at 152 ºF (67 ºC) for 60 mins. Collect enough wort to boil for 90 mins. and have a 5.5-gallon (20.9-L) yield (about 7 gallons or 26 L). Lower the Styrian Golding hops in the 30-min. boil to 0.5 oz. (14 g) to account for higher extraction ratio of a full boil. The rest of the recipe is the same as above.

Mountain Brew...Do the brew

2007-12-19T15:57:00.000-08:00

This could be fun, I found this on BYO looking for a recipe for Beezlboss. Thought I would share it here. Enjoy!

Jason Pavento wanted to combine his two favorite beverages, homebrew and Mountain Dew. His creation — Mountain Brew — does just that. We’ve fiddled with his procedures a bit, based on our own experimentation, but the ingredients are the same as his original recipe. The beer turns out light and crisp, with some aroma, but not much flavor from the Mountain Dew. And, in case you’re wondering, neither the preservatives or the caffeine seem to bother the yeast.

4.0 lbs. (1.8 kg) Muntons Extra Light dried malt extract
2.3 gallons (8.7 L) Mountain Dew
(24 12-oz. cans of the soda)
.5 oz Willamette hops (45 mins)
.25 oz Amarillo hops (15 mins)
1/2 tsp Irish moss
1/4 tsp yeast nutrients
Danstar Manchester yeast
1.0 cup corn sugar (for priming)

Pour Mountain Dew into a clean, sanitized brew bucket. (The soda should not have anything growing in it, so there’s no need to boil. You may want to wipe the lips of the cans with a paper towel soaked in sanitizing solution, though. Let it sit in the bucket (covered) as you boil the wort so the level of carbonation will decrease.) Bring 2.5 gallons (9.5 L) of water to a boil and stir in malt extract. Boil for 60 minutes, adding hops at the times indicated in the recipe. Add Irish moss with 15 minutes left in the boil. Cool wort and pour into Mountain Brew. (Watch for excessive foaming.) Top up to 5 gallons (19 L) with water. Aerate (again, watching for excessive foaming) and pitch yeast. Ferment at 68 °F (20 °C) for 1 week. Rack to secondary and age for 2 weeks, Bottle with corn sugar.

Corky's Coffee Porter

2007-11-27T15:38:00.001-08:00

Type: Robust Porter
Boil Volume: 6 gallons
Final Volume: 5 gallons

3.5 lbs Amber LME
3.5 lbs Dark LME
.5 lb Black Patent Malt
.5 lb Victory Malt
.5 lb Honey Malt

1 oz Saaz (5%AA) 60min
1 oz Saaz (5%AA) 30min
1 oz East Kent Golding (5%AA) 10 min

Yeast: Wyeast 1084 Irish Ale

1 lb. Sumarta Coffee, cold steeped in 2 quarts water

Steeped grains at 147 degrees for 30 min then raised heat to 178 and remove grains. Brought to a boil, turned off heat and added LME. Established roiling boil and added hops according to schedule. Added Irish Moss at 20 min until the end of boil. At 15 min until flameout, added coffee. Chilled to pitching temp, pitched yeast, fermented at 70 degrees.

How (and why) to cold steep coffee:

Rough grind coffee (or use a blender) and add to 2 quarts cool or cold water. Leave steeping for 24 hours. Select a coffee that has tastes suitable for your beer type. I selected a Sumatra bean due to the low acid levels, low bitter levels, and deep robust coffee roast flavors, but any coffee can work. Doing a cold steep extracts the coffee bean's oils with out extracting the bitterness. I personally didn't want a big bitter, roasty beer, nor a beer that reminded me of "office coffee".

Jolly Rancher Apple Lambic

2007-11-27T15:33:00.000-08:00

Jolly Rancher Apple Lambic
(5 gallons/19 L, all-grain with hard candy)
OG = 1.065 FG = 1.006 IBU = 11 SRM = 4 (green) ABV = 6.3%

We couldn’t resist throwing in one of Chris Colby’s recipes. Jolly Rancher Apple lambic is a dry, sour beer with the flavor and aroma of Granny Smith apples coming from Jolly Rancher hard candies. This latest version of the recipe is based on the results of three brewings. For best results, let the beer age warm for at least three months.

Ingredients
5.0 lbs. (2.3 kg) 2-row pale malt
3.0 lbs. (1.4 kg) wheat malt
4.0 lbs. (1.8 kg) Jolly Rancher Apple hard candies
3 AAU Saaz hops (aged) (60 mins)
(3.0 oz./85 g of 1% alpha acids)
1/4 tsp yeast nutrients
Wyeast 3278 (Lambic Blend) yeast and bacteria
1.25 cups corn sugar (for priming)

Step by step
Mash grains at 150 °F (66 °C) for 60 minutes. Collect 4 gallons (15 L) of wort, add 1.5 gallons (5.7 L) of water and boil for 90 minutes. Boil hops for 60 minutes. (If you don’t have aged hops, just add 3 AAU of any noble German hop.) At the end of the boil, you should have 4 gallons (15 L) of wort at SG 1.049. Cool wort, transfer to fermenter, aerate and pitch yeast/bacteria blend. Ferment at 70 °F (21 °C). After one week, boil yeast nutrients in 1 gallon (3.8 L) of water and dissolve candies into this liquid. (It takes at least 20 minutes for the candies to fully dissolve.) Cool “candy water” to 70 °F (21 °C) and rack to secondary fermenter. Rack beer from primary into candy water, making 5 gallons (19 L). (Don’t splash or otherwise aerate wort at this stage.) Condition beer in secondary, at 70–75 °F (21–24 °C), for at least 3 months before bottling. You may want to add a small amount
(~1 tsp) of dried ale yeast to the bottling bucket when bottling.

Extract option:
Replace 2-row and wheat malt with 2.0 lbs. (0.91 kg) Briess dried wheat malt extract and 3.0 lbs. (1.4 kg) Coopers liquid wheat malt extract. Bring 2.5 gallons (9.4 L) of water to a boil. Dissolve dried malt extract and boil for 60 minutes, adding hops at beginning of boil. With 15 minutes remaining in boil, stir in liquid malt extract. Cool wort, transfer to fermenter and add water to make 4 gallons (15 L). Aerate and pitch yeast/bacteria blend. Follow all-grain instructions for details of fermentation and how to add candies.

Berry Weizen

by Steve Bader

5 gallons, extract with adjuncts

"This recipe is very flexible. You can add fruit extracts to make fruit beers or add coriander and orange peel to make a Belgian white beer. (Change the yeast also to be true to style!)"

Ingredients:

4 lbs. Premier wheat malt extract
1 lb. light dry malt powder
1 lb. wheat dry malt powder
1 lb. flaked wheat
1 oz. Tettnanger hops (5% alpha acid), for 60 min.
Wyeast 3056 (Bavarian weizen) liquid yeast
3/4 cup corn sugar for priming
Fruit extract of your choice to make a fruit ale (optional)

Step by Step:

Steep 2 gals. of hot water (about 130° F) with flaked wheat for 30 minutes with the heat on low (150° F). Strain out most of the flaked wheat, leaving some to give the beer its cloudy appearance. Bring to a boil. Remove the pot from the burner, add the malt extracts and hops. Boil for 60 minutes. When boiling is done, transfer the beer into 2 gals. cold water in your sterilized carboy, then top off to 5 gals. Add yeast when beer is cooled below 74° F, then ferment at 68° F. If you want to make a fruit beer, add the natural fruit extract at the same time you add the bottling sugar. Raspberry, apricot, and boysenberry are great. Transfer the beer into your bottling vessel, then add the fruit extract to taste. One bottle of extract will give a hint of fruit flavor; 1.5 bottles will give a strong flavor. You may also bottle a few gallons without the fruit flavoring, then add the fruit extract and bottle the rest. If you want to use raw fruit, the best way is to add 3 to 5 lbs. of crushed fruit into the wort when you are done boiling, and let the fruit steep for 15 minutes to extract color and flavor. Don't boil the fruit, because it will tend to give a very cloudy beer. You then strain out the fruit as the beer goes into the carboy.
