  I cracked the bung on this again today for a taste and gravity. I never formed a pellicle, so I
  was afraid that it wasn't cooking right... I was wrong. It has dropped to 1.004 and tastes
  incredible. T...

  It tastes sour and a touch funky with subtle notes of pineapple. The only reason I am getting
  into the long aged funks is because of the smells coming off the fermenter from the grain. It
  smelled butt...

  0. Adding new yeast and food would do nothing to kill off your infection. It would just
  potentially make it worse, since the bacteria often times can outpace yeast.1. Absolutely2.
  Absolutely, but just...

  So my next beer is going to be something a little weird. I want to do a sour saison, but am
  wondering what souring method I want to use. I want it to be a "quick" sour, so the usual
  methods of funk ar...

  You need to mill your grains first, don't forget. Find someplace to buy a corona style mill
  locally, or buy one online. Make a cooler mash tun, there are plans available all over. Then
  you'll need to ...

  I'm not planning on touching it any sooner than appropriate, was just wondering if the fruit
  addition was more a gravity concern or one of age. I'll pull another gravity in another 2
  months and figure...

  Ok, so my wild bugs have been chewing through gravity like Pac-Man chews through little white
  dots. In two and a half months I've dropped from 1.018 to 1.008. The hydro sample tastes
  phenomenal, too. ...

  So all of the cottage-industry hop yards opening across New York and New England are growing an
  inferior product compared to the mega farms of the Pacific Northwest? Like all things that one
  tends to ...

  I pulled a hydrometer sample today, and at a little over to months from finish of primary BM45
  fermentation it has dropped 10 points to 1.008. It's lightly sour with subtle notes of
  pineapples, funky ...

  The BM45 had visibly wrapped up in 5 days, so I racked it onto the bugs one week ago at a
  gravity of 1.018. The bugs got to work almost instantly, since it came from a continuously fed
  starter essenti...
