12-12-12 Beer

What are you planning on brewing on 12-12-12? It is a special day and I think it is deserving to brew up a special beer. I was thinking of a beer using 12 different malts, 12 different hops and 12%abv. I did something similar for our brewclub’s 15th anniversary but with 15-15-15 and it was very good.

What are you thinking?

12 malts, 12% and 12 hops, sounds expensive and extravagant…I like it! I honestly didn’t even think about this but I like your 12/12/12 idea. Just trying to think about how to make a good beer with that much crap tossed into it. Let us know what you come up with. RIS sounds like a good starting point, you could throw almost anything in there.

If I had access to more commercial sour beers, I’d consider a sour brewed with the dregs from 12 different sour beers.

I did an 11-11-11 beers last year.

11# base malt, 11oz speciality grain, 11 oz sugar: gave me an 11.1 SRM. Hopped every 11 minutes. and dry hopped with 1.1 ozes

found my notes on the board from last year.

which is 11 lbs of two row, the special b plus the c80 weights equals 11ozes. which gives 11.1 srm.

and with 6 hop additions every 11 minutes. which I could do, or maybe 11 additions every 6 minutes. which I could force to hit 111 ibu. But still don’t think I would want that with this grain bill.[/quote]
