Community and Group Brews, Contributed by just-cj Options

[MtnBrewer]

From time to time members of this community will decide on a recipe and brew it at more or less the same time as a group. Sometimes this recipe is something that one person chooses or develops. Other times, the recipe creation is also a group process. Some of these recipes have been fantastic successes and the first one of these was added to HBA's repertoire of beer kits.

With much help from CJ, we'd like to present here the collected recipes for all of the group brews throughout the years. Where possible, extract, partial mash and all grain recipes are included. We think we have covered them all but if there are any we have missed, please help us fill in the blanks. Some of the original threads have been lost but where they exist, links to these threads are included in the recipe. In addition, at the end of each recipe there is a link to a ProMash recipe file. If someone wants to send me recipes in other brewing programs, I will be happy to host them as well.

Finally, I'd like to thank CJ for doing most of the heavy lifting. He took an idea someone came up with and ran with it. (IMG:style_emoticons/brewboard/cheers.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/brewboard/ninja.gif)

21st Century Schizoid Ale (2003)
1st Community Beer Recipe
Schizoid Write-up
HBA's All-grain Kit
HBA's Extract Kit
Brewboard's 21st Century Schizoid Ale is a group effort involving several members of Homebrew Adventures' Brewboard Community from as far away as Japan. It began as an idea posted on the forums and rapidly turned into a Monster with dozens of members suggesting varied ingredients. Its original pedigree seems to have been very German, but then it drifted more towards Belgian. With the addition of maple syrup, it became firmly North American. Deep brown in color, medium to full body with a complex hop profile. The use of maple syrup in this recipe will add a woody finish to this beer. This is truly an ale with multiple personalities. [Note: Unfortunately the original thread on the development of this recipe is no longer available.]

Hops
Blend = 3 oz each of Ahtanum (7.2%), Amarillo (6.4%), Cascade (5.6%) and Centennial (9.4%) whole hops (alpha of hops I have on hand right now). Mix in large bucket and weigh out as needed. Note, this recipe has no bittering hops. Note again, if your hops are much higher in alpha than mine, reduce amount to 2.75 or or 2.5 oz each, but use the same amount of each hop in the blend.
1.5 oz Hop Blend for 30 min.
1.5 oz Hop Blend for 25 min.
1.5 oz Hop Blend for 20 min.
1.5 oz Hop Blend for 15 min.

Memoriale Daye Cream Ale (2005)
All-grain with extract options
OG = 1.043 (75% efficiency), IBUs = 29.5
Another May Community Brew Thread

Grains
9 lbs American 2-Row (or your base malt of choice)
0.5 lbs Cara-Pils Dextrine Malt

Hops
1 oz Whole Saaz (3.0% alpha) 60 minute boil (9.9 IBUs)
1.25 oz Whole Cascade (6.0%) 30 minute boil (19.9 IBUs)

Yeast
Wyeast 1272 American Ale II (or similar)

Partial Mash Modifications
Follow your normal partial mash procedures, mashing the following:

3 lbs American 2-row
0.5 lbs Cara-Pils

To the resulting wort, add 4.5 lbs Extra Light DME and continue as normal. Increase the hops 10% if doing a concentrated boil.

Extract with Steeping Grains Modification

For the extract version, use 6.5 pounds of Extra Light or Light DME, and 1/2 pound of Cara-Pils. (Note: Technically carapils needs to be mashed, so proceed at your own risk.) Increase the hops 10% if doing a concentrated boil.

Fruit Option
This would be a good recipe to add some fruit, vanilla, etc -- or, as some have suggested, the addition of Flaked Maize would be very appropriate for a cream ale. Any time before Memorial Day (or so) is perfect for brewing, so we can all be drinking this by July 4th!

Original Thread on All Steamed Up

Grains
5 pounds Crisp Maris Otter
5 pounds Weyermann Munich I
8 ounces Dingemans Aromatic (or Weyermann Melanoidin)
6 ounces Dingemans Special B (or Weyermann CaraAroma)
1 ounce Fawcett Roasted Barley

Hops
1 ounce Willamette whole (5.0%) for 60 minutes
0.5 ounces Willamette whole (5.0%) for 30 minutes
0.5 ounces Mt Hood/Liberty/Crystal/Hallertauer (5.0%) for 30 minutes
1 ounce Mt Hood/Liberty/Crystal/Hallertauer (5.0%) at end of boil

Yeast
Wyeast 2112 California Lager or White Labs 810 San Francisco Lager

Directions
Mash low (148-150F) for 60 minutes. Sparge with enough hot water (170-175F) to allow for 5.5 gallons in fermenter after 80 minute boil. Boil for 20 minutes before adding first hops (total boil time = 80 minutes). Ferment at 58-60F until terminal gravity is reached -- you may want to swirl the fermenter several times a day after fermentation slows down to encourage the yeast. Condition cold for ~1 month and then enjoy!

Option
For Imperial version (OG = 1.075-1.077, FG = 1.021-1.023, IBU = 46-47, SRM = 16-17), make the following changes:
-- increase Maris Otter to 10 pounds (other grains stay the same)
-- 2 oz Willamette for 60 min, 0.75 oz each Willamette and Mt Hood for 30 min, 1 oz Mt Hood at end of boil

Extract
6 pounds More Beer Munich LME*
1.5 pounds Muntons extra light DME
* Note: Other suppliers also have Munich extract. However, check the percentage of Munich malt used -- some are as low as 20% Munich!

Grains
8 ounces Dingemans Aromatic (or Weyermann Melanoidin)
6 ounces Dingemans Special B (or Weyermann CaraAroma)
1 ounce Fawcett Roasted Barley

Yeast
Wyeast 2112 California Lager or White Labs 810 San Francisco Lager

Directions
Steep grains in 3-4 quarts of water at 145-155F for 30 minutes. Collect runnings and then rinse with 3-4 quarts of hot water (~170F). If doing a partial boil, add half the Munich extract at beginning of boil (doing this means you don't need to adjust the amount of hops), then fill brewpot to normal level with dechlorinated water. Add the rest of the Munich extract and the DME with ~10 minutes left in the boil. Boil for 20 minutes before adding first hops (total boil time = 80 minutes). Ferment at 58-60F until terminal gravity is reached -- you may want to swirl the fermenter several times a day after fermentation slows down to encourage the yeast. Condition cold for ~1 month and then enjoy!

Hop Recession Community Brew (January 2008)
Original Thread on Hop Recession Community Brew

2008 will go down in homebrew history as "The Year Of The Hop Shortage" We agreed on the theme to be a HOP RECESSION Community Brew. No variety of hop is specified. Everybody has a different selection of hops on hand and every LHBS has a different selection hops for you to purchase.

This is a recipe that lets you use what ever hops you can get you hands on.

HOPS:

Hopping schedules are expressed in HBU.

To calculate HBUs.
HBUs = weight in ounces x alpha acid percent
Example: 2 ounces of 10% alpha hops = 20 HBUs

To calculate ounces of hops.
Ounces = HBUs / alpha acid percent
Example: 10 HBUs of 4% alpha hops = 2.5 ounces]

+++++++++++++++++++++++

Standard Schedule
Bittering (60 minutes) = 10 HBUs
Flavor (15 minutes) = 5 HBUs
Aroma (5 minutes) = 5 HBUs

Example:
Bittering = 2 oz Willamette (5%) = 10 HBUs = 32 IBUs
Flavor = 1.25 oz Goldings (4%) = 5 HBUs = 7.5 IBUs
Aroma = 1.25 oz Goldings (4%) = 5 HBUs = 3 IBUs
Total hops = 4.5 oz
Total IBUs = 42.5

HopBurst Schedule
First Wort (steep before boiling) = 5 HBUs
Flavor (15 minutes) = 5 HBUs
Aroma (5 minutes) = 5 HBUs
Aroma (end of boil) = 5 HBUs

Example:
First Wort = 0.5 oz Chinook (10%) = 5 HBUs = 9.5 IBUs
Flavor = 0.5 oz Simcoe (10%) = 5 HBUs = 7.5 IBUs
Aroma = 0.5 oz Columbus (10%) = 5 HBUs = 3 IBUs
Aroma = 0.5 oz Chinook (10%) = 5 HBUs = 0 IBUs
Total hops = 2 oz
Total IBUs = 20

Simple Schedule
Bittering (60 minutes) = 16 HBUs
Dry Hop (in secondary for 1-2 weeks) = 4 HBUs

Example:
Bittering = 2 oz Amarillo (8%) = 16 HBUs = 51 IBUs
Dry Hop = 1 oz Mt Hood (4%) = 4 HBUs = 0 IBUs
Total hops = 3 oz
Total IBUs = 51

As always; It's your beer. Substitute as you see fit.

Possible substitutions:

For the Chocolate wheat Substitute
Crystal Wheat
Chocolate Rye
Crystal Rye
Caramunich
Caravienna
Biscuit Malt (as appropriate)

It is a New Year's recipe, I suggest you substitute a malt you have never used before. A new malt for the new year.

Yeast: The WLP001/1056/US-05 Chico yeast did well in the voting. I chose to steal the election and declare Burton Ale/Thames Valley the winner. If you want to go with the same old yeast WPL001/1056 - go ahead.
