• Posted in thread: Best places in Maui to buy/ drink beer? on 06-19-2013 at 03:17 AM
  I'm heading to Maui in a couple days and will be staying in Kihei. I already know of Maui
  Brewing Company and will certainly be going there, but other than that, where else is a good
  place in Maui to ...

  I never actually said "Flanders Red", but "Flanders sour mash". Maybe if I said
  "Flanders-style" instead it would be less confusing to you? Anyway I don't expect this to taste
  like a Grand Cru but I'm...

  Yeah I have other batches on Roselare. The particular beer I talking about on this thread is
  sour mash only and using BRY-97 yeast with a bit of pacman for bottle conditioning; no Brett.

  I tried Summer hops but found them rather bland. I'm not planning on using them again.

  In the Vancouver area we can get most baemalts for around 37.00/ 55 lb bag. Gambrinus, a local
  maltster, produces a nice ESB malt similar to Marris Otter which can also be purchased locally

  Bottled my Fat Freddy Flanders today. The BRY-97 yeast chewed it down to 1.012, so fairly dry
  which was what I wanted. The 1.2kg of raspberries has given it a distinct but not overpowering
  taste and a...

  I found a Rakau/ Wakatu hopped IPA to be a great combination. I blogged about it here:

• Posted in thread: Munich malt in an IPA on 06-09-2013 at 02:51 AM
  I quite regularly use around 10% Munich in my IPA's and also some CaraMunich 10l for specialty
