A few posts back I was planning on brewing all 80 recipes from JZ’s book Brewing Classic Styles. However, I couldn’t figure out where to start let alone how many fermenters I would need or how I was going to consume all that beer. Then the boys at Homebrewchatter.com were talking about getting back to the basics and picking 5 beers and perfecting them. After a couple days of reading JZ’s book I found 6 recipes that I wanted to brew but couldn’t slim it down to the final 5 so I decided to leave it at 6. Those 6 are Blonde Ale, American Wheat, American Pilsner, Irish Ale, Bier De Garde, and a Dry Stout.
I’ll post as I brew them and then add brewing notes to the comments. This Saturday I will be brewing with Ted Saxe. We’ll be brewing the American Wheat.
