You've never buried your face in their big soft bellies and breathed a few times? You get a nice olfactory sense of them. Aero tends to smell of graham crackers or slightly of cinnamon (Especially around the ears <3). Luna grooms super often so she just smells of cat food and mucus. We love...

Well, I considered that method. In the end I didn't care to be that picky regarding the culture. I didn't drink the first one I put the fur in anyhow. I made sure that the first go had a decent smell. Then did a secondary propagation (The one I fancied a taste from). His initially had a...

Hey guys! Sorry it took me so long to post another reply. Ended up having life get in the way of my brewing ;) http://imgur.com/a/4RqK7 Put together this album to show the first tasting of my cat beer! One of them ended up coming out very nicely and I plan to use it in a few one gallon...

I just smelled it. Smells very normal. I give it about a 10-20% chance I'll risk a taste this go round. Waiting now for the bacteria and yeast to drop out of solution. Will post a before and after crash cool photo when i get home from work! Thanks for being interested :) Can't wait to...

Fantastic advice! Thank you very much for commenting. I will definitely do at least one more propagation before I attempt to make a drinkable beer. I will throw them in my fermentation chamber (happen to have a non-cat wheat about to finish anyhow). Any idea what sort of temperature would be...

I would love to put something like this together. Unfortunately, I have little time to do this and lack experience in writing fetching articles. If anyone wants to help - I'd gladly collaborate on a more detailed and visually appealing write-up.

Thanks for subscribing! I'm looking forward to what will come out of all this. My stomach does turn a little when I think of the culture source, but my fiance has a cast-iron stomach. She volunteers for the first sniffs and tastes of all the steps. So far. The smell is bready (yeasty)...

Good news! Is there any rule of thumb for finding a yeasts temperature range? Or will I just need to experiment with different temperatures until I find one that works?

I didn't take an OG reaading, but should be able to calculate it pretty easily. 320g of DME and maybe 0.8 gallons of water-ish. I'll make sure to take and FG when it's done. I'm mainly just nervous about the one that had a tiny spot of mold. But it stopped growing and I avoided collecting...

Hey! http://imgur.com/a/VidBd Just thought I'd toss this album in the thread as an update. Got home from work today to find the counter covered in delicious fermenting goo. It has an interesting consistency (perhaps gooey from pediococcus). So I may need to throw in some brett. Can anyone...

Sounds good! I was initially nervous to do that because I wanted to mask any potential off-flavors. But I'll never know if there even are any if I cover it up! Do you think it'd be dangerous to chance a sip?

Oooh... not quite what I was expecting. That's an interesting variation on the traditional brewing process. I wonder if it really impacted the flavor of the beer. I'll stick with getting my friends to try cat beer first before I start making untoward requests of my fiance in the spirit of...

Oh cool! Maybe I can learn from what they did. I'm not sure what you're referring to though. Do you have a link or more information to help me find that thread/article?

I am a beginner when it comes to wild brewing. Please bear with me on this, I will trying to keep my wording as technically accurate as possible. I would love any comments or concerns you have regarding this process. So a few weeks ago I decided to see if I could get a yeast/bacteria...

So... hate to resurrect this. What was the result?
