I remember the days when I made beer. Used to make it from all grain mashes. Lots of work, but worth it.

OK, Those that have brewed before will understand the following: I've got 5 gallons of wort in the carboy. Used 1 oz Fuggle for 50 minutes for bittering, 1 oz Saaz cold-hopped (or dry-hooped, depending on your school of thought) for aroma. OG 1057, should be a Belgian Ale style. I'll probably be bottling in 3 weeks. It WILL be ready for the get-together.

Ken,

I, for one, understand what you just said. As a 'beer fancier' (indeed I'm drinking a Black Forest Oak Stout as I type this) I have one question. Will the final product have the distintive Belgian taste? That kind of 'clove' taste from the use of Belgian hops, or will it come out more like a British Ale? I LOVE the Belgian Ales, and the Black Forest currently has a Belgian on that they call "Three Legged Dog". It is a Belgian Tripple, and will put you under the table after two or three (at least it does me, and I'm a VERY big guy).

I want to learn damnit...but somthing tells me i'd get in trouble brewing beer in a Residence Hall (my wife is a hall director, so we still 'live in')

It should have a very pleasant, fairly mild Belgian taste. I got hold of some Popperinge Hommel Bier a few years ago and set out to clone it. I think I came pretty close. The combination of the Fuggle hops and Trappist style yeast does it good. The only problem this batch has is that my local supplier was out of extra light malt, so I'm using light. It'll come out darker, maybe a little heavier. But, should still be good, just not quite the same as previous batches.

I love this. A group of people that like to homebrew and dive. Looks like I have found the right group to start hanging around.

Then find some time to visit us for our meet and greet. We'll get some homebrew there somehow and diving is always great!
