    Another Brett Bottling question

    LOL...yeah the sample was kind of like drinking nothing it was so dry. It's the first time I've used brett (or anything like it), so I'm not exactly sure what i'm doing.

    Another Brett Bottling question

    Hi all, The short version - is it ever necessary to add additional yeast along with priming sugar when bottling an aged brett beer that is at about 0.98? Longer version - This is an old ale brewed in February, brett added in April. Sample taken on July 4 was at 0.98. (it's at 10.4% ABV)...

    it finally happened. we're legally a brewery!!!!!

    Congratulations! Would you mind sharing your plans on distribution? Do you have a bottling line or are you selling kegs only? Are you going to sell to local establishments, and if so, do they already want to buy your beer? I don't mean to be nosy...I'm trying to head down this path myself...

    Are you familiar with Ballast Point Brewing?

    If you get a chance try their Sea Monster Imperial Stout. It gives Rasputin a run for it's money.

    Crystal malt in a Stone Pale Ale

    I brewed it also and it was not even close. I thought it was so far off that I don't even know what to change to get it close!

    Bacteria on Grain dust?

    Didn't mean to misquote.... I guess you would have to picture my brewing space to know what I was concerned about. The only time the boiled and cooled wort is uncovered is when I'm racking to a carboy, but the pot is only a foot or so away from the spot where I crush the grains. I do this...

    Bacteria on Grain dust?

    Thanks...yes, I cover while cooling, but after cooling I carry the pot over to the same table that I did the crush on...so I know there is grain dust on it. I guess I'll crush in the backyard now. Learn something new everyday....

    Bacteria on Grain dust?

    Hello, I noticed in Papazian's book (Joy of Homebrewing) that he says to grind your grain in a different location than where you brew, due to the nasties that live on the grain. I had never even thought of this...does anyone follow this advice? Should I change my ways? (I've only been...
