Using Liquor In Homebrew

Posted by John in Experiments

This month’s Fermentation Friday is being hosted by NorthernTable.com.

The theme is as follows:

My topic is all about liquor….and how you use it in your brewing!

I think the best example of using liquor in homebrew is the Holiday Ale that Mike created. It may not be the season to be brewing holiday ales, but keep this one in mind for late summer.

Here is the recipe for Mike’s Holiday Ale with Bourbon!

    Here is a link to Denny Conn’s Vanilla Bourbon Porter. I have made this recipe a half a dozen times and its always a winner. http://is.gd/vBj3

    Has anyone ever considered using a neutral spirit(i.e., Vodka) as a sanitizer for certain adjuncts? I’m going to be making a Cherry Wheat pretty soon and, instead of using artificial cherry extract, plan to mix the juice from fresh cherries in a (comparably) small amount of Vodka to kill any of the microbes in the juice.

    That’s an interesting idea.
