Nothing extraordinary going on here. Started homebrewing via a friend who helped piece together my extract setup and gradually got into all-grain as my knowledge expanded.
Now that I own a house, of course my garage & basement operation has expanded to a full kegging capacity. Hop growing has followed.
Because of brewing, I've dabbled in carpentry, plumbing, and now gardening - I'm gradually becoming all-consumed by this "hobby". - Flanders Red

Sorry for the delay - i've brewed this two ways: pitching 1056 first, THEN the Roeselare, as
well as both from the beginning. You definitely get a more complex, round, sourness from
pitching everythin...Posted in thread: No-boil starter? on 07-03-2012 at 12:52 PM
For fear of feeding a troll (?), why would you sanitize your container, then add non-boiled tap
water?Posted in thread: Rodenbach Clone on 03-19-2012 at 05:35 PM
I think this is a very solid recipe, if one would allow some self back-patting. I likes 'em
sour, so every subsequent time i've brewed this i pitch the sacc yeast along with the Roeselare
blend (and n...Posted in thread: Competition Decision: Fruit or Spice/Herb on 01-30-2012 at 06:13 PM
In my opinion, you'd have to decide that after you've bottled and it's all ready. Once you
determine what it'll actually taste like, THAT will be the most applicable category to enter it
into. No sens...Posted in thread: Three Philosophers clone help on 01-25-2012 at 05:34 PM
Not necessarily with the Three Philosophers, but has anyone tried using a kreik for infusion in
this manner? I was listening to that Sunday Session and Randy stated that they use the kreik

I think the grainbill is solid, but you could even drop the crystal. I've got a recipe up for
something similar to Schlenkerla's marzen (HERE). Slightly different hops, but you get the
idea.As noted, ...Posted in thread: Three Philosophers clone help on 12-07-2011 at 05:17 PM
There was a Brew Strong episode where they interviewed Randy Thiel who used to be the
brewmaster at Brewery Ommegang. He spoke about all their beers(at that time) and also about
taking a Lindeman's Kr...Posted in thread: Three Philosophers clone help on 11-10-2011 at 05:12 PM
I saw a reference in another thread about it, but i couldn't determine if it was confirmed or
not: is the Lindemann's pasteurized?I'm interested in any follow-up to this, as the reference
to "Columbus...Posted in thread: Rodenbach Clone on 11-07-2011 at 11:40 AM
I, personally would skip it for the boil. It can always be added in the secondary if you do
some tastings and it isn't sour enough for your liking.Posted in thread: Rodenbach Clone on 10-31-2011 at 05:13 PM
Yeah, i really love the red color in this brew.I brewed up another iteration of this in April,
and this time around i left out the malto dextrine because i pitched on top of dregs from the
previous ba...
