The Blonde Ale is timeless, and it just happens to be one of the easiest all-grain beers you can make! This beer is simple and refreshing, with more flavor than you might expect from this kind of beer! Plus, I do a little dry-hopping experiment with this beer and show you how to test out new dry hops with sacrificing your whole batch!

Great easy drinking style! Made a few blonde ales this summer along with some other light golden lagers. I trided a few smash beers and well.... I love Triumph Hop as a SMASH Blonde Ales bright aromas of orange, lime, peach pit, stone fruit After a few batches, i was picking up a faint pink bubble gum after taste Triumph's parentage is very interesting. It consists of East Kent Goldings, Brewers Gold, Nugget, and Hallertau Mittelfrüh Anything overdone can overpower this style of beer, so keep the hops limited. Triumph over done Turns this ale more into a fruity ale with this style hop then Is in a typical blonde ale so hop on the lighter side with this varietal. There are ton of different varieties that compliment this style of beer. We grow over eighty different varieties in our hop yard and use blonde ales as a Good sensory style to really let the hops shine through. Triumph has a bunch of applications in different styles, but i love this hop for Blondes 😊

I like Briess 2-row base, Briess 20L crystal fermented with a Chico strain for this, but I always use what I have on hand. This is a great one to do as a no-chill. This is my beautiful blonde low- maintenance girlfriend in a pair of faded jeans. I am always glad to see her! This is also a good SMASH with Maris Otter.

I did a dank IPA with experimental hops during the summer. After dryhopping, I racked the 5 gallons to another bucket. Then I cleaned and sanitized the first bucket and racked half of it back and put about 3 pounds of (frozen/thawed) raspberries on top. I tasted it about every 12 hours for about 2 1/2 days till I got the taste I wanted. It tasted like tart raspberry as opposed to a sour IPA. I took both versions to October Fest and lots of compliments and conversations about both.😁🍻

Funny shit. I was helping a fellow brewer put his recipe for a Blonde (Centennial) in Brewfather. So I was going with a Christmas Amber Ale once I got home. Looked at Brewfather and started putting all the grain in the bucket for grinding. Once I got done and looked at the grain bill. And thought to myself, "self", there's no Munich or Carmel malts for color. You guessed it, I didn't look at the title in Brewfather. Yep, guess I'm brewing a Blonde 😅😅 Was an easy brew.

Given the recent surge in popularity of pilsners (at least in my area), I wouldn't be too surprised to see blonde ales make a comeback as well. As much as I enjoy show-stopper beers, it's nice sometimes just to have a beer with dinner and not have to worry about it wrecking my palette.

Blonde ales are highly underrated IMO. They are supposed to be "break-through" beers for non craft beer drinkers. Hogwash! You don't need to have 7 ounces of 6 varieties of hops to have a good beer. Most people I know, and most people in the world, want to have multiple beers that taste great. There are different beer styles for different reasons and nobody should feel that by brewing a blonde ale you are making something inferior to the latest juicy mango hop bomb, it's just a different style. Craft breweries are trend chasers and blonde ales are not very trendy. I've been home brewing since 1977 and blonde ale is still on my beer calendar for summer. Thanks for the video Steve.
@TheShahart
@TheShahart 7 месяцев назад
I agree. I brew mostly German lager which is in a similar vein. Nuanced beers require a more mature look in beer. It's like the difference between a beef stew with really strong flavors and poached fish with light delicate flavor. Neither are better than the other, just different
@TheApartmentBrewer
@TheApartmentBrewer 7 месяцев назад
They can definitely be gateway beers to more flavorful styles but I agree, they are not supposed to be over-the-top with flavors. Just a gentle touch with some hops and good quality malt character is all you need.

I can't say if I really prefer one over the other, they both have their strengths and weaknesses. The Clawhammer can do higher OG beers and its easier to move around, but the blichmann controller is amazing and the system is set up to do everything without ever disconnecting a hose, which is great too

Great blond ales are hard to make. The yeast really stands out and a crappy fermentation will really evident. Kveik at high temps is not a replacement if you want really neutral blond ale. replacement. I usually just add some whirlpool hops in low amounts to add a little aroma. Its easy to go overboard into session IPA with low ibus. I am gonna brew one next week now. Love it.
