As a wedding gift to our friends Z&D, we offered to brew all the beer for their wedding. So far this brewing project has been a blast. After many discussions (beer/food pairing) we decided on the following; Farmhouse Ale, Saison, Alt, and a Maple Wheat. These should pair nicely with their locally grown, organic, farmhouse meal.As a little surprise, we will also be giving them a 6 liter bottle of our own recipe Belgium Triple. We are going to cork and label it just for them so they can pop this ridiculously huge bottle. Please see the picture to grasp the size of this bottle.
Funny fact: While cleaning this bottle I happened to notice that although there is probably $10 worth of glass in this bottle there is only a 10 cent deposit 5 in most states. It is really funny.
We will be adding a bit of Coriander to this brew, and it will be our first time using this spice. Many of the greatest Belgium beers like Rochefort and Triple Karmilit use this spice, so we should give it a try.
If nothing else this has already proven to be a fun Saturday AM project.
uh oh looks like you have the same post in the middle of your post! This is so awesome Z&D will love it! thanks for a great weekend of bday activities!
ReplyDeleteFixed. Whew. Sorry. I find that if you enjoy a beer while reading my blog it makes more sense.

I know this is an old post, but how did you cork that large bottle. I have one of those bottles that I also want to fill with homebrew.
