Suggested Topics for Homebrew Con 2021
Suggested Topics for Homebrew Con 2021 The suggestions below have been outlined by the Seminar Subcommittee for Homebrew Con 2021. The topics suggested are not intended to be an exhaustive list, but rather a guide to potential speakers to some of the top priority topics that the committee would like to see presented on at this year’s event. Hopeful speakers are welcome to submit proposals beyond the scope of these suggestions but are encouraged to keep them in mind when planning their proposal content. Beer Styles The BJCP recognizes over 130 distinct beer styles in its beer guidelines, along with countless others not in the guidelines. Each style has a unique history and characteristics and is brewed using specific brewing processes and techniques. The seminars in this track will highlight individual beer styles and the techniques used to brew them (and why). • How styles emerge (Ex: Kolsch/Alt, Regional International Ales [Argentina, Italian, New Zealand, Brazilian, etc.]) • Compare and contrast of similar styles • Differentiating general history from beer history • Emerging styles (Ex: pastry stouts/ fruit “slushies”, Winter Warmers, etc.) • How to decide where your beer goes in a competition • Saison • Bocks (history, sub-styles, brewing requirements, etc.) • How taxes, water chemistry, wars, technology and/or climate defined beer styles • Extinct (or nearly extinct) Styles • Historic beers (Ex: Stein Bier, Fraoch, Herbal, Wiccan ales, Egyptian ales) • Lager fundamentals • Best ways to educate yourself about a style - • Beer Vocabulary and what it all means ASBC (anyone?) • Belgian Styles (in general) – challenge to brew, make it taste like it’s from Belgium • How to brew authentic English Pub Ale • Fresh Hop Beers • Mead styles (Ex: Polish, historical meads, other) • How to achieve the style you are looking for (Expectations of what you want vs. -
Year of Saisons and Reflect Some of Smaller Brewers
s sure as this planet twirls around the sun, I know there is always a rea- son for a Saison. While brewers around me dabble with their Pale Ales, DIPAs and barleywines, I find myself thinking months ahead to Amy next funky farmhouse. My brewing calendar resembles the pages of The Old Farmer’s Almanac (Page 129, June 2008: “Brew a Saison Automné,” “Plow and Gun Combo Patented, 1862.”) My Saison epiphany came not from the farmlands of Wallonia, but from L.A.’s old- est (and now no longer brewing) brewpub, Crown City Brewing of Pasadena. Brewer Jay Baum dropped an unknown glass of beer in front of me and let the unusual smells confound my newbie nose. Some hops, some spice, a little malt and a whole wallop of weird opened my eyes to the existence of the style. Nights of studying every Saison I could find led to years of brewing with no end in sight for the experiment.

Saison: a Brewer's Blank Canvas
Saison: A Brewer’s Blank Canvas Presented by Peter (Pietro) Caira GTA Brews October General Meeting •10.16.2017 Bob’s Description: “I’ve never really thought of ‘saison’ as a style per say, but more of a school of brewing within the Belgian school. Regardless of their make-up, they should be What is Saison? aromatic, predominantly from the yeast as opposed to hops or malt. They should be dry and thirst quenching with a nice assertive hop presence at the end. Brett, a little light strike and that elusive cellar or musty like quality should be present in the best of them.” ~ Bob Sylvester - Saint Somewhere Brewing Co. Historically ... A low-alcohol “rustic” ale brewed during the harvest months in farmhouses across Wallonia What is Saison? for consumption by seasonal workers - “Saisonniers” - in the following summer months for refreshment while they work in the fields. Commercially ... One of the few (only?) styles of beer that can be called “farmhouse” that has been adopted (and adapted) by breweries for commercial What is Saison? production. As a result, the style is open to interpretation and has been used as a blank canvas by brewers everywhere to explore their creativity. Saison Style Guidelines Peter’s Guidelines BJCP Guidelines ● Dry, refreshing ● Category 25B ● Yeast-driven flavours & ● Allows for many variations aromas from esters including spiced and dark versions ● Well-balanced towards bitterness ● Three major strength levels: Table, Standard, ● Highly carbonated Super Saison Ingredients Grains, Adjuncts, Other Fermentables ● -
PALE ALE This Is a True Pub-Style Beer
Prepare your Bottles and Caps: TRUE BREWTM INGREDIENT KIT Clean and sanitize the bottles by either soaking the bottles in a chemical sanitizing solution or running the bottles through a dishwasher cycle without any detergent or rinsing agent. This will only work with a dishwasher that has a heat/dry cycle. Sanitize the caps by soaking them in a sanitizing solution. PALE ALE This is a true pub-style beer. This Pale Ale is malty with a medium body and a smooth Prepare your Equipment: mouthfeel, perfected by a touch of hop flavor and American hop aroma. You will need a bottling bucket with the spigot, a hose, bottle capper and a bottle filler to conduct your bottle filling. Make sure to clean and sanitize all equipment before it comes in contact with the beer! Priming Solution: Add the priming sugar to 1 pint of boiling water and stir until dissolved, now “the priming solution”. Allow the priming solution to cool to roughly 75°F. Pour the mixture into the bottling bucket. Using racking tubes or an auto-siphon, transfer the beer from the fermenter O.G: 1.043-1.045 READY: 2-4 Weeks F.G: into the sanitized bottling bucket. Be very careful not to aerate the beer at this point – too much exposure to oxygen can cause off flavors. Mix the priming solution into the beer by SCHEDULE/NOTES: gently stirring with the sanitized racking cane or auto siphon. Bottling Filling: Attach a sanitized hose to the spigot on the bottling bucket and the bottle filler. Turn on the spigot and allow beer to flow through the spigot and hose into bottle filler. -
