Todays tastings

Recommended Posts

Yesterday (as today) it rained a lot, but it was still a great day not only in regards of tastings. In the afternoon I had a “Colorado Cauim”, a lager made with Mandioca, and unlike the “Magnifica” I had in São Luis it was actually really nice. Cerveijaria Colorado got bought by Ambev as well, but they got the liberty to continue with their original recipes.

In the late afternoon we went to a kiosk outside a shopping centre and had a few chopp, my friends had Brahma and I had chopp of “Colorado Indica”, their most delicious IPA with rapadura ( extremely raw sugar) , sorry no photos. Then we went for sushi and as they didn’t have Japanese Beer we had water. Coming home I had a Colorado “Ribeirão Lager”, a lager containing orange rind, quiet nice.

Cervejaria  Baden Baden is located in Campos do Jordaõ (Saõ Paulo) and prides itself as being one of the pioneers of craft beer in Brazil. Before they got bought by Ambev they supposedly produced some nice beers.
Unfortunately I bought some and tried two so far. The first was a “Peach”, a wheat beer made with peach. Loving peach it sounded innovative and yummy, but it really didn’t work, it was horrible. Bitter from the juice concentrate, artificial peach flavour, yuk

The Witbeer was just drinkable and had a weird aftertaste as well. I had far better homebrew than that. Ever going to Brazil I would say, don’t waste your money

I actually have to soften my stance on the Baden-Baden beer. Reluctantly, because I really don’t like to waste any food or drink, I had their IPA, and it was quiet nice, full bodied, bitter and not too flowery.(I really don’t like it when my beer tastes like my wife’s perfume).  Also like the 600ml bottles

Yesterday I rained and rained and rained for most of the day, the perfect day to hang out with friends and cook a Feijoada, a classic Brazilian meaty black bean stew, a meal with its origin in the slave quarters turning into one of their national dishes.

To start of procedures we lubricated ourselves with Chopp Pilsen called Straat Bier from Cremona Cervejaria in Holambra (SP), dedicated to the Dutch immigrants in this area. A nice Pilsen style Draught, light and easy drinking, perfect pre-linner drink.The 1.5 liter pet bottle cost us $4.20.

With more chopping, stirring, frying and simmering going on we opened another bottle which read Cerveja (beer)

But it was a bottle of Cachaça (Brazilian rum made from fermented sugar cane most)

You can’t have a Feijoada with out Caipirinha, a cocktail made with Cachaça, crushed limes, sugar and ice.

Delicious but lethal.

Cheers, what a great day with food, friends and fun!!

@beach_life I found an online shop selling everything for home brewing . Coopers Extract cans are about $35-40, something like a 40l Brewzilla $1500. Interested to have a look: https://www.piquiribrewshop.com.br/

I also found a recipe for 50l Catharina Sour ( smaller recipes are available)

That's it.  I'm inspired.  I have added a 30 litre batch as a future brew.  Souring will be via Philly Sour yeast, like the above recipe.  I will split it in two and add passionfruit pulp to one half and mango to the other half.

That sounds goooooood. If you click on the link of the site go to kit receitas. If something sounds interesting click on the style and the ingredient list comes up. If you scoll down you’ll see a mobile phone. Click on it and you get the recipe in pdf

Unfortunately, the pdf's are written in Portuguese.  However, they seem to have most of their recipes available to download in Brew Father.  That's handy.

Nice - I do mine like a Berliner but higher alcohol and fruit added.

 

@Shamus O'Sean passionfruit works well, as does mango ofcourse

I actually thought about adding both passionfruit and mango to this beer.  Then I thought, why not split the batch, doing one passionfruit and one mango.  Then I could mix them in the glass and get the best of three worlds.

It's an easy beer to make.

1/2 pils and 1/2 wheat - nice and light.

10ibu of something just so it is beer.

Philly sour.

When ferment is done add the fruit, leave a few more days then crash it

do you mash them first?

Yes. I have added in chux - too messy

commando - also too messy

grain bag - as I have them and i think it is a better size. I used 1 1/2 litres or passionfruit pulp in one. I don't recall how much mango I used.
The last dragon fruit one had over 2 kilos I think
