Favorite Beer While on the Boat? - Page 2

Homer brew for a local micro brew. Royal Grolsch, was my favorite until they sold out to SABMiller in 2007, Moosehead next, then Elephant. I think I am going to have to start making my own just so I can get a good beer.
Does anyone have a good mango wine recipe?

Ditto on that! The cold ones at the Salty Dawg were some of the best I've had. I'm surprised noone has mentioned Sierra Nevada!

Sierra Nevada. I was so glad to find it at Reys in Panama. What a relief from the other Mexican and Central American beers that seem to be following the path to carbonated water that all the major Norte Americano brewers are going. I would agree that they would work only if the water supply is contaminated.

Recipe for Mango Wine, makes 5 gallons

15 lbs of mangoes…..10 lbs sugar……..Wine yeast, Champagne type
1 tps tannin……….3 tps Tartaric acid………..3 tps Citric acid…………Granucel
Water to suit………Campton tablets, 10 tablets
Isinglass

Peel mangoes and mash, dump into primary fermenter
Add sugar , tannin, acids, granucel and Campden tablets
Fill with water
Stir till sugar is dissolved and add yeast
Wait one week, and siphon into carboy, wait 6 months, racking every month, isinglass is for clarification at the end

I hear it good.

I’ll stick with the cold beer.

I prefer IPA's for the overt hops and the related maritime history of the british shipping beer to the troops in India- many American microbreweries have taken the style to an extreme that I enjoy, but Sierra Nevada does a nice accessable version with its pale ale and more recently released Torpedo ale. I don't have enough sailing experience to chime in to the forums often, but I feel confident in my beer advice...

mesquaukee, Thanks for the recipe, now all I need to do is go south and spend some time in an area warm enough to grow mangoes. :-)

I have tried many beers at differing temperatures but the worst would be emu lager at room temperature 35 - 42 deg C in the Kimberlys of Australia. On the up side mangoes are plentiful.

Anything but American "Canoe" beer. If you drink Heineken you must battle against going to the head. Otherwise you'll be visiting it every five minutes!

Most cruisers I know prefer "OP".....

Under way [in limited amounts]:

And once safely anchored:

Works for us!

That's very clever, Scott - I like that!

There's one more brew we need for the thin water sailors on the south west coast of Florida but thus far no one makes it:

HARD AGROUND!
