Winter Brewing Challenge: Embrace the Season with Bluestone Yeast
Winter is a fantastic time for brewing beers that are hearty, warming, and perfectly suited for the colder months. Here are five beer styles that are particularly well-suited for brewing in winter (June, July, August in Australia):
- Stout: Rich, dark, and full-bodied, stouts provide a comforting and robust experience during winter. With flavours of roasted malt, chocolate, and coffee, stouts are perfect for chilly evenings by the fireplace. Whether it’s an Irish Dry Stout, a Milk Stout, or an Imperial Stout, brewing a stout in winter is a classic choice. Suggested Bluestone Yeast (BSY-A010 San Diego or BSY-A029 London)
- Porter: Similar to stouts, porters are dark beers with flavours of roasted malt, chocolate, and caramel. Porters offer a slightly lighter body compared to stouts, making them a versatile option for winter brewing. Experiment with variations such as Baltic Porter or Robust Porter to explore different flavour profiles. (BSY-A010 San Diego or BSY-A011 New England or BSY-A029 London)
- Belgian Dubbel: Belgian Dubbels are rich, malty beers with notes of dark fruits, caramel, and spices. They have a warming quality that makes them an ideal choice for winter brewing. The yeast strains used in Belgian Dubbels can produce complex flavours and aromas, adding an extra layer of depth to the beer. (BSY-A005 Brussels or BSY-A006 Antwerp)
- Winter Warmer: As the name suggests, Winter Warmers are specifically brewed for the colder months. These beers are typically strong, malty, and often feature spices like cinnamon, nutmeg, or cloves. Winter Warmers provide a comforting warmth and are perfect for festive occasions and gatherings during the winter season. (BSY-A010 San Diego or BSY-A011 New England or BSY-A012 Michigan)
- Barleywine: Barleywines are bold, high-alcohol beers with rich malt flavours and a significant hop presence. They often have a full body, complex malt profile, and can age gracefully over time. Barleywines are excellent choices for long winter evenings when you can savour their depth and complexity. (BSY-A010 San Diego or BSY-A012 Michigan)
It’s worth noting that brewing these styles requires attention to fermentation temperature control, as the colder ambient temperatures in winter can impact yeast activity. Ensure you have the means to maintain proper fermentation conditions to achieve the desired flavours and aromas.
Bluestone Yeast Challenge
We have an exciting challenge for all the homebrewers out there! We want to see how our Bluestone yeast strains can transform your winter brews. Here’s what you need to do:
