Northern Brewer Zombie Dirt Clone Tasting and Review

I had a lot of concerns with this in the first week after it was bottled. There was a cloying sweetness in the background that was unpleasant. Having never used Munich malt before I can only assume that was what the sweetness was. Over the following weeks the sweetness began to fade. The overall malt flavor came up. The hop aroma and flavor became more pronounced. After 3 weeks in the bottle the aroma had matured to the pine forest level I describe in the video. The same also applies to the pine flavor.

This turned out to be a great beer that I will definitely be brewing again.

Sherman’s Planet IPA – Brewing the Triticale Recipe from the September 2017 issue of BYO Magazine

I first thought of making this beer after reading the September 2017 issue of BYO magazine. Being a Star Trek fan I first encountered triticale on the episode The Trouble with Tribbles. In that case they referenced quadrotriticale. I imagine that to be a futuristic version of what we know triticale to be today. This was brewed with WLP066 from the White Labs Yeast Vault.
