Beer Crew: Porters/Stouts
September 3, 2008 admin

I always thought Porter and Stout were used interchangeable to refer to the same style of beer, but then I saw these two beers on the shelf:

I looked up some info on it and read this on Wiki:

Porter is a beer with a dark colour. The history and development of stout and porter are intertwined. The name was first used in the 18th century from its popularity with the street and river porters of London. It is generally brewed with dark malts. The name "stout" for a dark beer came about because a strong porter may be called "Extra Porter" or "Double Porter" or "Stout Porter". The term "Stout Porter" would later be shortened to just "Stout". For example, Guinness Extra Stout was originally called "Extra Superior Porter" and was only given the name Extra Stout in 1840.

Anyone still homebrew?
August 19, 2008 admin

I just bottled a six malt amber and am working on my own amber ale using some rye grains.
I do.

I have a wheat that I am going to be bottling in the next couple of days. I was actually just thinking about what to buy next.
I have a vanilla porter in primary right now(boiled on thursday) and I have an amber that’s bottle conditioning.

I’m gonna get a kolsch going in about a week for a lawnmower beer, followed by a citrusweizen, and another go-round of american red.

first yuck

2nd…midori sours
midori and vodka
midori tequila and sour etc….
A bunch of recipes with Midori as the base ingredient

This is a great site to fuck around with and find a ton of interesting recipes to try.
I actually really like Midori.

Midori sours are pretty damn good, and you can add your own spin to it(substitute ginger ale for 7up or mountain dew; can grind it with ice and make a slushee, etc).
