Beer (homebrewing period recipies)

[dpalyka]

I recently made a porter from a recipie adapted from an order made for George washington, It called for molasses... I bottled it last week.
I am looking for other homebrewing period style recipies to make.

If others are interested I will post the recipie I used. It tasted good when bottling. :)

EDIT:
Heres the recipie:

I'm at work right now but can provide a few a little later tonight.
Before I post them how much experience do you guys have with brewing?
-I don't want to insult anyone's intelligence by starting from the ground up.
Also I'm wanting to make a batch for an event in June does anyone know where I might be able to get a Wooden beer barrel? I know there is a maker of barrels out there for reenactors however I don't want the bees wax and need something with thicker wood.

Re: Beer (homebrewing period recipies)

Been homebrewing since 1997. Most of the common beer styles where in existence in 1860. Recipies haven't changed much(I gave up on recipies a couple of years ago and now just wing it/develope my own), about the only ingredient not in period is some of the later hybrid hop varieties. The basics like Halletuer, Fuggles, etc. were in existence. Porters, brown ales, and even lager- their all good:-)

Try these people for a keg http://www.gibbsbrothers.com/
They are a commercial supplier to industry as well as hobbies. Excellent customer service. I orderd a 5 gal parriffin lined keg on Wednesday morning and had it in my hands (shipped ups ground) by Thursday Afternoon. With spigot and shipping it cost less than a keg alone from Panther.

So how do you do that?
Instead of bottling at the last stage you keg it up?
Are they difficult to seal/serve from?

Re: Beer (homebrewing period recipies)

From Gibbs Bros:

Thank you for your inquiry about our kegs.

We manufacture top quality wine kegs. We also produce a paraffin lined keg and a keg that is for displays & props but not suitable for holding liquids.

All kegs have a bung hole for putting liquid in.

However, we do not manufacture kegs for beer. As stated above, we only produce wine barrels.

I hope this has answered your questions. If you need further information, please feel free to email us.

Re: Beer (homebrewing period recipies)

I bet one of those kegs would make a porter or stout taste great. Which style would you recomend?
