Stoned beer
Looking to brew some sort of stone/steinbier the weekend of 3/12 by hook or by crook. First attempt to be some kind of Scottish Ale, but bought a couple of commercial steinbiers to retry. It has been a few years since I have had one and traditionally has been made with a base Bock beer. I think the malty sweetness holds up to the carmelized wort when boiling with hot stones. Will need to make the scottish malty, maybe do a 1 to half gallon boildown on the first runnings to up the richness of the malt. Interesting or disaster, will see!

Looked at the vial of White Labs California V Ale yeast in the fridge and saw it was best by December 2010, so change of plans for weekend 3/12 or 13 brewday. Most likely will brew a Rye-P-A, will post receipe when done. Will definately wash this yeast from the primary to use for at least a couple more patches of whatever this spring/early summer.
