Lars Breaxface, Homebrews in Space

Picture
On Episode 130 of the Podcast, we talked with author Brandon Getz about his new novel Lars Breaxface Werewolf in Space.

With his guidance, we were able to devise three recipes representing the three main characters of the book. There's the eponymous Lars with his hard drinking and bitter disposition. The ninja princess capable of wielding blood magic is Jay and also Lars' employer. Rounding out the team is Frank the many-eyed living tree is also Jay's bodyguard. Each recipe draws elements from their characteristics. Try brewing them yourself. Crack open a bottle and a book.

$5 T-Shirt Stand Homebrew

In Episode 99 of the podcast, we workshopped the recipe for the perfect beach vacation beer. We tried our best to take ingredients from where the best beaches are and elements signaling vacation time and combine them into a refreshing and drinkable wheat ale. Foolishly, we included sea oats which is a protected plant, because of its dune fortifying properties which stem the tide of beach erosion. In order to fill your grain bill, you're going to have to buy up every seaside greenhouse or grow your own from online seeds. Trust us when we tell you, though, if you invest the time and money we have no idea if it's worth it. Just use Quaker Oats you took to the beach.

Chicken Milk Stout Homebrew from Another Wolfcop

by Hop Nation USA's Steve
Picture
If you listened to Episode 77 of the podcast, you heard Adam and I conceptualize a recipe for the fictional beer from the Canadian indie film, Another Wolfcop. While there aren't any reptilian shapeshifter embryos in the recipe, we did get a little nuts in the use of actual fried chicken. But it's no crazier than what The Veil Brewing company already did with their Fried Fried Chicken Chicken IPA. Feel free to just omit it anyway. Now although the film is from Canada, I'm American and so the recipe won't be in metric and you'll have to convert it yourself. Sorry.

Grain Bill
11 lb Pale 2-Row
4 lb Smoked Barely
0.5 lb Black Patent
Optional 5 lbs Fried Chicken

Water
Mash Water: 5.15 gal / 6.80 gal (with chicken)
Strike Temp: 168
Sparge: 4.25 gal / 3.2 gal

Boil: 60 minutes
1 oz Hallertau hops @ 40 Minutes
2 lb Lactose Sugar @ 10 Minutes
1 oz Cayenne pepper, 2 oz cracked peppercorn, 1 oz Fuggle hops @ 5 minutes

Yeast
Wyeast American Ale

Secondary
16 oz Maple Syrup

Yield: 5 Gals Estimated OG: 1.096 FG: 1.034 ABV: 8.13% IBUs: 12

UPDATE: If you scroll down to the comments section, you'll see one of the creative producers on the Wolfcop films actually reached out to us and gave us some more insight into the naming behind Chicken Milk Stout. Essentially translating Egg Nog to French and then back to English gives you Chicken Milk, so the intention behind the film's beer is to be an Egg Nog Stout. With this mind, I now present a TRVE recipe for fans of Wolfcop and accuracy. We still stand behind our original recipe, though, and encourage you to try brewing both.

Grain Bill
9 lb Pale 2-Row
6 lb Flaked Oats
1 lb Midnight Wheat

Water
Mash Water: 5.3 gal
Strike Temp: 164
Sparge: 4.1 gal

Boil: 60 minutes
1 oz Galena hops, 1 oz Cluster hops @ 30 Minutes
4 lb Lactose Sugar, 2 oz East Kent Golding hops @ 10 Minutes
2 oz Willamette Hops @ 5 minutes

Yeast
Wyeast Oatmeal Stout

Secondary
Cut two vanilla beans lengthwise and scrape out the inside paste. Add beans and paste to secondary fermenter before beer if doing a full transfer. (Can substitute beans for vanilla extract cause that shit is expensive right now. Just add extract to taste before bottling)

Pre-Bottling/Kegging
Spice Extract - in 4 oz of spiced rum, soak 3 crushed up cinnamon sticks for about a week.
Add tincture and 0.5 oz of ground nutmeg before bottling.

Yield: 5 Gals Estimated OG: 1.077 FG: 1.019 ABV: 7.5% IBUs: 31

Beerify It! : The Hockey Hat-trick Trippel Belgian

Picture
In Episode 33(click to listen), we got completely ridiculous with trying to honor the return of hockey with a fight fueling Belgian. Our reasoning got a little fuzzy and good luck actually completing the water requirements. But if you ignore Adam's Australian suggestion, it just might work. Keep reading for the recipe.
