Bringing this thread back from the dead. So I Brewed my beer around springtime of 2012. After pitching the dregs of the supplication, this thing has sat for 7 years and I still haven't bottled it! Thinking of bottling it sometime soon. I will definitely need to add some yeast at bottling to get...

Updating this thread. I pitched my bugs and a few bottles worth of Dregs to the supplication clone 6/1/2012. It has been in the fermenter for 27 months. Just tried it today. Smells incredible, getting real sour at this point and has dried out pretty well. Already tastes of barrel, funk and...

Yeah, mine is in a better bottle at 8 months now and it tastes great.

Well Russian River just announced that they will be pulling distribution to Washington state, Looks like i will be making a constant supply of this stuff.

I will try that out, seems like that method may keep more of the syrup flavors present

Ok I get it. Still a little torn as to whether i should use the syrup at the end or beginning of the boil.

I plan to use a D2 dark syrup. What exactly did you mean by Just be sure to adjust your IBU's to compensate for the changed hop utilization.

Thanks for the help guys. I am going with Candi sugar from the Homebrew shop and I will add it at the beginning of the boil to help said melanoiden. I am going to to probably use 1.5 lbs of sugar instead of the 1. I will go with the fruitier of the yeast, being the WLP500 Think 2 lbs of sugar...

i really need to get a good beer program. do you have a recommendation for mash temp on this style? I have never made a Quad before.

Think I could benefit from adding more Candi sugar? Thanks alot for the translation. I was considering the Wyeast 3787. Do you think that the WLP500 would be a good choice?

I don't normally get the best efficiency so probably around %60

I am thinking of brewing a Quadrupel but I only have grain percentages. Could anyone here translate those percentages into Lbs or ounces of grain for me? This will be for a 5 gallon batch. Thank you and here is the grain bill OG: 1.093 AE: 1.018 Grist: Pale 2-Row – 90.6% Special B...

it has been 6 months since i infected the beer. Came in at 1.017 gravity and this beer smells and tastes amazing. It is souring very nicely, I now have high hopes for this beer! I have not put any soaked oak chips or cherries in yet and i cannot wait to do so. Next to the bottle for...

Yeah I'm in too haha :-)

I wonder how much syrup i would need to make without over doing it?
