Treble Kicker Beer
Treble Kicker is my made-up brewery for my homebrews. My recipes can be found here, but what I’m working on is below.
Just Finished: The honey/lemon/rosemary New Slang Saison tastes awesome! The rosemary is coming out as the lemony Siracha Ace hop presence fades. Still, there’s plenty of lemon to go around.
In the Primary: Nothing yet…
In the Secondary: Nothing at the moment.
Bottled: New Slang Saison.
Next Up: I have a plan to brew a chocolate, bourbon-barrel (read: oak chips soaked in bourbon) Russian Imperial Stout I’m calling “Black Francis.” This 10-11% ABV beer will be my Xmas gift to several family members and friends. Brew day will happen this week. I just have to get my starter going…
Beyond That: I plan to do a smaller Saison using the slurry from the New Slang. This will be an experiment as I’ve never saved slurry before this. I’ll probably do a smaller, 3 gallon batch. Also, I’m thinking another IPA or DIPA or possibly a barley wine.
With the Harnessed In Slums, I think you’ll be real happy with the aroma qualities of the Citra when it’s finished. The aroma overpours the taste of Citra, but the Simcoe and Cascade will shine through in taste. I did a DIPA and used the initial mash for one beer and then the sparge for the other. The secondary was only 4% but I loaded it with Citra hops and its an easy drinking summer beer.
Beyond that- go Barleywine! Age in some bourbon soaked darker fruits.
