I got into homebrew while living in Portland, Oregon, in 1997. I was in the land of beer so I was naturally drawn to that. I brewed 10 extract batches, then 80 all grain batches in the next 5 years after that. Somewhere around batch 20, I started entering competitions with my first being an online one called Networt, based in New Jersey. Took 2 gold out of 3 beers entered. Sometime maybe around batch 30 or 40, I joined the Oregon Brew Crew. Loved that group. Entered beers in competition around Oregon, Washington and Texas and won a bunch more medals. And judged at a lot of competitions too, which was fun and educational.
I moved to Southern California in 2002 and stopped brewing because of space constraints in apartments. I'm now living in Zagreb, Croatia and have been brewing in my apartment here since August of 2009. - American IPA, American Barley Wine, British Best Bitter, British Imperial Stout.

Pellicles form in the presence of oxygen as a layer of protection. It basically blocks O2 from
getting to the beer and therefore prevents oxidation. That is why you didn't get a pellicle

my guess is that pellicle is not yeast based... but wtf do I know? not sure best route here as

For comparison, here's one of the other tests with the mold growing on it.These are both wort

I have a few wild tests going, including the one in the picture here. Nice pellicle on this
one. BUT, I used juice in this to drop the pH. I used 30% grapefruit juice in the wort for the
initial captu...Posted in thread: uh-oh Bottled at 1.030 - wyeast 3787 on 04-15-2013 at 07:26 PM
I bottled this on 4/10. It now tastes a little oxidized, but I can't attribute that to all of
the other transfers. When grabbed the carboy the airlock fell right off so I don't think it was
airtight -...Posted in thread: "integral" flaked corn versus flaked corn on 04-15-2013 at 05:10 PM
In the local market, they have 2 versions of flaked corn in the health food section. Both have
JUST corn. But one of them is much redder in color and says it's "integral", which locally
tends to mean ...Posted in thread: WLP644 -Brett B Trois on 04-15-2013 at 07:03 AM
I brewed my Brett Trois IPA yesterday.Starter was done in three steps. Step 1 was ~400ml,
fermented at 70F for 2 days, then Step 2 added ~650 ml, fermented 3 days, then Step 3 added
1150 ml and fermen...Posted in thread: 3711 is amazing on 04-03-2013 at 06:12 PM
I should clarify that I am not someone who does crazy over the top IPAs. The Belgian IPA I made
with this yeast was only 52 ibus (Tinseth). For a 24 liter batch, I used 36 grams of EKGs 20
minutes fro...Posted in thread: WLP644 -Brett B Trois on 04-03-2013 at 03:38 PM
I just meant definitely do a starter if it was from last year. Since it's from this year, I'd
only do a starter if your batch size and OG dictate you need one. :ban:This is for 100% Brett
IPA and this...Posted in thread: WLP644 -Brett B Trois on 04-03-2013 at 01:52 PM
White labs expiration date for Brett is six months I believe.Thanks.
