You'll just get a bit more bitterness in the finished product. No biggie

Thanks for the reply. I haven't found much info anywhere on this yeast blend. I ordered a pack though, so we'll see

Have you packaged this brew? I'm thinking about ordering a pack

Just ordered the grains for this! Thanks for the recipe! :tank:

I definitely have a bad card. Weird thing is it reads fine, just can't write to it. I took an image of it before re-imaging and I thought I made the bozo move of re-imaging it with my backup that I just took. Nope. Tis no good! The good thing in all this is I probably won't have to go...

I think I've realized the error of my ways in the reload, I'll try it again tonight. The profile reverting back after a reboot is a very strange thing though. I tried editing xstartup to allow for copying and pasting into tightvnc and that file wouldn't save through a reboot either. It's like my...

I have an interesting problem that I was hoping someone would have some insight on. When I experience a power outage, or reboot my Pi, it reverts to a beer I was fermenting in March, both the graph and the temp profile. I have 2 totally independent chambers and this is only happening on one of...

Keep us posted! I used harvested MBC yeast on my batch and a clone of Peeper I attempted and it has massive attenuation

I did pitch them together. Based on the amount on the bottom of the ball jar, I'm guessing I pitched roughly 50/50 or maybe slightly more towards the brett side. I tasted the starter wort and it was wicked acidic, I'm guessing from being on a stirplate for weeks along the buildup process. It...

I have a brew fermenting now that's a Belle Saison/ Amalgamation blend with Nelson and Hallertau Blanc hops. More of an American Wild than a standard saison, but I have high hopes for it. I tested it yesterday and it was super fruity. I wanted to sub 3711 for the Belle, but I couldn't get it in...

Excellent info. Thank you much

I'll have to go on the search for a couple of those for "research". Any idea of how much wine it would take in a 5 gal keg to have a slight, but noticeable flavor? I'm trying to emulate a wine barrel aged brew

I use Bru'N Water too. When I need to bump my ph up, I add baking soda to the mash (Bru'N Water automatically adds it to the mash and not the sparge.) I put the sparge portion of the minerals into the boil kettle and batch sparge with unadjusted spring water (which is pretty close to RO)

Anyone have a recommendation for a white wine to blend with this?

Interesting. I may have to swap Belle for 3711 for my next brew Thanks!
