I have a bunch of barrels with some odd finishing gravs and was curious wtf happened. We had a lot of extra IPL beer(pre dry hop) that we threw in some neutral red and whites with a couple different brett strains. After 8 months the gravities haven't gone anywhere and in some cases have gone...

ISO: bourbon vietnamese speedway, ethiopian speedway, nibs and beans speedway, velvet speedway...you get the jist...

Looking for map of the sun but would be open to other RB stuffs. I have a bunch of coolships (resurgam and red), pick your own, etc. Also have some Oxbow sours...

Did you pull any yeast out before harvesting? You normally want the middle of the cone's worth of yeast as the are the healthiest cells. You should also notice a color change once you get thru the initial dump of "rejects" with the good stuff being much brighter than the picture.

it's really only on the back end when i'm trying it. really not overpowering or anything, just leaves a really gross taste in your mouth. i'll give it some more time i suppose...already been a year so maybe it is what it is.

if it's not fixable was it really just too much oxygen that f'ed it up? there was a bit of headspace in secondary but nothing crazy.

it was wyeast roeselare blend...

so i have a flanders red that's been in secondary for 1 year and tastes a little like vomit, sorta kinda. i tasted it a few months ago and it seemed way more intense than it does now but i'm not sure if it's getting better or i'm just imagining things. will this go away with time or has O2...

el dorado mosaic is a pretty great combo

if it's new oak, make twice what will fill the barrel. that way you can blend some non oaked in with the barrel. a brand new barrel will need a few uses before you can do extensive aging in.

any interest in stoneface ipa and hopulization instead of heady?

any interest and making this a three way? have access to new england hoppy beverages...maine/nh

if it's an ipa or pale i usually just throw the extra in at flame out or dry hop.

tried it at phish this past weekend. nothing outta this world but great session beer.

wheres the gravity at??
