I am taking orders for the Holiday season for custom beers. If anyone would like to have a brew crafted for personal consumption or a gathering let me know. A single batch (5 gal) equates to about 53-12 oz beers and can be made to your specifications. I have made everything from Irish Reds, porters, Imperial Stouts, Wheat Beer, Hefeweizen, Barly wines, and Lambics. I can also do custom labels for your bottles. From brew time to bottleing is about 4 weeks (longer on those beers with higher alcohol content), and a recommended conditioning/ aging time of 2-4 weeks depending on the beer. Let me know if you are interested.

Oh yeah if anyone (wes) wants me to make a special SWAMP brew for the FTF I could get something going in the next week or so and have it ready.

you have anything that is like Mike's Hard Lemonaid?

benjibbad · « **Reply #3 on:** September 27, 2008, 05:28:02 PM »

I personaly don't have anything like that in my repitiore but I do know of a few kits out that that make something similar to it. I would be able to make those for you if you like. Here is the link to the kit:

I do not have force carbonating equipment, though priming the beverage can increase the alcohol content slightly. and since it is ready to drink once it is bottled (maybe a week or two for carbonating) the time from brew to bottle is much shorter.

benjibbad · « **Reply #6 on:** September 30, 2008, 09:56:58 AM »

I can get pretty close, there is a whisky brown ale I make that is pretty close!!

If you can figure out how to make beer flavored GU....I'll be first in line for a few cases.

Out of curiosity, have you made any pumpkin ales?

benjibbad · « **Reply #8 on:** October 14, 2008, 12:55:21 PM »

I did make one last year. It came out pretty good. I am going to try another one this year but I want to wait until the pumpkins are just right.

I had the chance to watch the Brew Master doing his stuff and sampling some of the secret stash.

MT · « **Reply #15 on:** November 17, 2008, 07:34:16 AM »

Benjibbad - I was just boasting about your brew to a friend of mine yesterday; made the tired legs worth while on Saturday.

Thanks again!

NP She isn't getting the attention she deserves right now. Glad she could get a 100 miler in.

If anyone does want to commission a beer let me know soon I am going to need time to get ingredients and schedule brewings ect....

benjibad, thanks again for letting me rode her it was a challenge to play with the shifter but it got me going. She is pretty light too, almost too light on downhills. If I had have used my old road bike It would have been a painful and horrible hundred.

The beer sampling Friday pm was awesome I just don't want to drink too much especially the one with cherry aroma with a kick in the balls after you consume half a bottle.

I nominate benjibad aka Dan as the SWAMP Club Official Brewmaster.

Do you do a good pilsner for the summer heat? I could get down with a barley wine when fall comes, or an IPA.

I tend to stay away from lager type beer only because they require you ferment them around 40 degrees for periods over 2-3 months. I just don't have the fridge space for a 5 gal carboy. I amm working on a recipe for a nice barley wine but I am still researching yeast strains to get the most alcohol and sweetest taste. Champagne yeast has to much bite and most beer yeasts can't stand the high levels of alcohol. So it might be a combo irish ale yeast and something like a sweet red wine yeast. Again still researching. I will let y'all know.

I read a really good article somewhere about yeast strains and the sugar vs. alcohol survivability in a local post. There are men in my class that are brewers and I'll hit them up tomorrow.
