EvilFrog in my limited and self righteous opinion 3068 is a rockstar of a yeast. The esters of clove or banana has more to do with the pitch. I would assume you had more viable yeast for this pitch or fermented cooler. I have seen several sour mash techniques. If you took some wort aside and culture...

EvilFrog I have had this happen to me in a less than controlled fashion. The beer was drinkable but less than prime time. I've also noted the latic acid as less than desirable with aging I would suppose this is a beer you want to drink fast. My best attempt at a sour mash is still in fermentation. I...

EvilFrog how close would the Tinkerweizen be to a Berliner Weisse? The sour mash makes me think it's more lactic acid tart.

Any flights available for judging during the week? I may be able to help out.

I am willing to help. Count me in.

The Brewers Association developed the following for the American -style India Black Ale category at the Great American Beer Festival: American-style India Black Ale has medium high to high hop bitterness, flavor and aroma with medium-high alcohol content, balanced with a medium body. The style is fu...

Count me in for 5 gallons. I will also help out in anyway.

Nice work on the fitting. I would like to see the fermentation system in action. I suppose this will ferment 10 gallons with proper headspace so no blowoff is needed.

Brian B has graciously offered spent grains for a party gyle. I'll bring some hops and create a witches brew!

He is doing a roasty imperial stout. The remaining should be shy of a dry stout.

Okay I am in.

This could go in many directions of with hops. I am thinking Hallertau\Saaz with Trappist yeast. Depending on the OG some additional sugar to dry it. Should make a nice standard issue Belgian.

Wheels are turning now, Sign me up!

Bill, I did the double mash thing and really liked the process. Seemed like the best way to brew for exact gravity. What gravity are you shooting for with the Olde Ale? Decided to stretch out and enter competition this year as well. I am hoping to put out some great beers. Good luck (to all)!! Of co...

Kim thanks for hosting the December brewday! Let’s focus on the positives like amazing weather and a gracious brewday. Kim thanks for sticking around while we wrapped up the cooling and cleanup. Despite a stuck mash the collected wort remained consistent with my brew house efficiency. The preboil v...

Picked up the grains and hops today for a 10 gallon batch. I realize it's short notice and so the offer is still open! We can collaborate at the brewday. I will begin setup around 10am tomorrow. Striking (when the grain is added to brewing water) ~11am. The Saison will target OG 1060 mashing as an a...

Anyone brewing this Sunday? The weather forecast is partly sunny. I am looking for someone to split/brew with. I can bring my rig and split a 10 gallon batch. Lets make it happen! PM me! New comers are welcome. I am thinking of going a Saison ~OG 1.060 to commemorate my first brew. We could mash as ...
