Email required Address never made public. Apparently they're not as easy to come by as they were in the pre's era. Good points on the oak chips, but not the whiskey part. The recipe was written in ; the distillery wasn't built until Although, I suppose it is completely possible he might have been using used oak barrels that were previously used for storing whiskey.
Let's go back for a second I think we can agree on that The three Zyrtec I took this morning to deal with the oak pollen could have told me that much Having lived and worked in Old Town, Alexandria VA, I'd also have to wonder if they came from one of the many taverns from around that time West Indies? Either way - I'm going to do mine up with medium-toast oak chips soaked in either rye-whiskey or possibly rum. Just noting that I'm reading along with much interest and can't wait to hear how this comes.
I am wondering about the name though It seems more like a Braggot or Bochet except that it's not made with honey. As far as the oak barrels go I'm going to go with using some whiskey soaked medium oak chips in secondary. I might be wrong here, that he might have used new barrels that never had whiskey in them.
But I like whiskey According to this link , "The Scots and the Irish who immigrated to the colonies in the mid 's In Pennsylvania and Maryland, that primarily meant rye. I'm going to go with using rye whiskey in some medium oak chips during primary fermentation, as I doubt he had a 30 gallon glass carboy for a secondary. Also, check out.

Bob Well-Known Member. Do not use modern brown malt. It is an entirely different creature than the brown malt available in or indeed until quite recently , in that is lacks enzymatic power to even convert itself. Use instead the darkest base malt you can source; I tend to use Mild Malt as the base malt in my historical recipes.
Also note that it is probable that the casks used in beer production were lined with brewer's pitch, which precludes flavor introduction by bare wood. Also, American oak is a different creature than English or other European oaks; a new medium-toast American oak cask will probably be overwhelmingly powerful. I've brewed this recipe, though I disagree on certain interpretations, notably the presence of malt at all.
So when I brewed it I used whole hops flowers and molasses exclusively. I was not impressed with the result. However, taken in historical context, it was palatable for soldiers on the sharp edge of the frontier the date coincides with Lt Col Washington's deployment to Fort Duquesne in what is now Pittsburgh, PA.
On the frontier you brewed with what you had and drank that rather than drink water ew! Colonists used everything from molasses to pumpkin to the pressings of corn stalks sound familiar? I look forward to reading your results! Cheers, Bob. Cluster hops just arrived - I feel good about brewing this next weekend. By-Tor Well-Known Member.
However, he may have imported fuggles or goldings since he was a rich old white guy and imported stuff seems to be what old rich white guys like. Robusto Well-Known Member. First I would like to say that I am very interested in how this turns out. Molasses is the byproduct waste from the refinement of sugar cane into sugar. I had completely forgotten about this. I have the yeast, hops, and oak cubes just waiting. Metsbrew Well-Known Member.
Did you make this yet?? Anyone know about the process then? We are currently thinking about having a cabin weekend and making beer from the creek water and using an open wood flame. I thought something similar to this recipe would be cool to try. It has been brewed and mostly consumed! It is a bitter son of a gun, that's for sure. It has really benefited from aging. At 3 weeks, it was bad. At 6 weeks, it was pretty good. Probably not going to be brewing this again unless it's for a specific event, but it was fascinating to brew like the 1st President did [or instructed his slaves to do].
Please forgive me reviving an old post but I'm curious. I did look and din't see anything but maybe I was looking in the wrong place. You must log in or register to reply here.
