So I haven't been as good as I thought in keeping up on this blog, not that anyone reads this so yeah, Who Gives a Crap? But really What's new? I figured that this may be pretty overwhelming beer and one may not be able to drink more than a couple in a sitting so I might as well get the alcohol percentage up a bit. I boosted the Grain bill to give it a little more kick. So that was my goal, to brew a Chipolte Honey Brown Ale. If I could meld the slight spiciness and smokiness of Chipotles and the sweetness of Honey with the malty backbone of a Brown Ale, I may have something pretty damn tasty in the end. When considering what to do with my Emma's Brown Ale, this Mead came to mind. A tiny tingle of heat with a great smokey flavor followed up by sweetness. It tasted like something I would glaze a brisket in and smoke it all day. This particular mead was a Chipotle Mead. After a lengthy and eductional conversationa on the subject of Meads, Eric broke out a mead he had in his fridge for me to try. As this meeting was winding down I got to talking with Eric about Meads and how I was thinking of trying one. The inspiration for this beer, actually came from a club meeting at our Jack of All Brews presidents (Eric Wentling) house. I decided to spice this one up and really try something out of the box. I'm not much of a Brown Ale man, as to me they're a very boring beer most of the time. So after much pondering I decided to brew the following beer for the Hope for Emma Fundraiser and Jack of All Brews Club Brew off.
