So, it is probably worth a quick reminder ... I created a list of BJCP beer styles that I've never brewed. When I want to decide which beer style to brew next, I roll a virtual 20-sided online die, and brew the style that corresponds with the number that comes up.
Pretty simple, right?
The last style I "rolled" was Roll-a-Style 16: 26C. Belgian Tripel back in October, and I didn't brew it until November with Yoker Belgian Tripel (Batch 385).
Recently, I brewed Whisper of the Tengu Rice Lager (Batch 388), which is a lager. I thought I'd harvest the Tengu yeast and brew a lager on my Roll-a-Style list.
So ... I pretended to roll a 4:
... which corresponds to 9C. Baltic Porter.
"A strong, dark, malty beer with different interpretations within the Baltic region. Smooth, warming, and richly malty, with complex dark fruit flavors and a roasted flavor without burnt notes."
I've actually had a SheppyBrew recipe for 9C. Baltic Porter ready to go: Mud Blood Baltic Porter.
I have ingredients so I will likely brew this soon.
After marking this off the list, I'm now down to 12 beers on the list. I can now roll a 12 Sided Die.
Now my Roll-a-Style list looks like this:
My "Bench" now includes:
- Historical Beer: Roggenbier
- Historical Beer: London Brown Ale
- Historical Beer: Lichtenhainer
- Specialty IPA: Belgian IPA
- Specialty IPA: White IPA
- Specialty IPA: Brut IPA
- SheppyBrew Random Recipe
NOTE ... there a few BJCP Styles that I purposely left off this list. At some point I might re-evaluate these missing styles, but I guess you'll have to stay tuned and see if I add more.
As always ...keep an eye on the regular SheppyBrew Channels to see what is happening with beer, barbeque, biking and other things in my life: SheppyBrew's Facebook Page; Sheppy's Twitter Feed; SheppyBrew's Instagram Page; and SheppyBrew's Website.
