I'm going to be posting my beer recipes and details here.

I'll start with my award winners

Revenge of Boris 2017 -  A Russian Imperial Stout that I've brewed every January since 2015, with the intent to have a vertical tasting of 2015 through 2020 versions.  This particular version placed third in the St. Louis region of the 2017 National Homebrew Competition.

 

Marron el Alce - An attempt to clone Negra Modelo, it ended up darker than I expected.  It did place third in the St. Louis region of the 2017 National Homebrew Competition.

And others:

Hawaiian Moose - An American IPA with distinct citrusy/tangerine aroma and flavor, all from the hops.

 

Hawaiian Moose, NEIPA Style - Same recipe, but with Magnum as the bittering hop, water adjusted to have a lower sulfate/chloride ratio, and hops added at a lower temperature whirlpool, at high krausen during fermentation, and at the end of fermentation.  Honestly, I think the original did better.

 

Bighorn Dunkelweizen - A traditional dunkelweizen. I used Wyeast 3068 (the Weihenstephan Weizen strain), which the last couple of times gave me a lot of banana, no clove.  With this beer  I tried a ferulic acid rest when mashing (113F).  Lo and behold, clove!
