My attempt to clone Oberon worked with some success. I produced a nice wheat ale that has definite hints of Oberon-like taste, but I think the process of getting the yeast from Oberon bottles may have brought along a little bit of diacetyl that gives the beer a bit of unwanted tang. Still, at a block party this weekend I served the beer on tap and had no complaints. In fact, most of the beer is gone at this point.
The next beer batch for me is probably going to be nice session brown ale. I may make two batches in short order and put one in the kegerator and bottle the other. That should give me enough beer to last through October. I may take a swing at an IPA just because I haven't made one before. I also would like to try a Belgian wit beer. I think I will bottle the wit because I want to try to carbonate it with a bottle of triple sec and see how it turns out.
A log of beer-making efforts, recipes, techniques, successes and failures, beers I try and like and don't like and a whole lot on Michigan-made beers.
