Thx for chiming in. To my surprise, I found a krausen ring around the inside of the bucket last night. I just had expectations of a more vigorous fermentation given the OG, but apparently things were quietly chugging away.

I brewed in Sunday, and have an og of 1.072. Pitched a 2L starter that fermented fine. Four days later, my 5g batch has had no activity. When aerating, I think my O2 tank was about to die because I didn't get nearly as much foam as I normally do. Should I give it a better of oxygen blast tonight...

Ah, gotcha. Thanks for the clarification!

I'm looking to do something very similar to this, basically increasing everything by 50%. Now I'm curious, why didn't you increase the hops? I was thinking to keep a similar flavor profile, the IBUs would need to be increased to about 49 with an SG of 1.080 to keep the IBU/SG ratio similar to...

This is fantastic! Despite the low FG, it doesn't come across as feeling really thin. It still feels completely appropriate for the style, and it tastes amazing. This will be a welcomed sipper on the back porch for the remainder of the summer. Aside from having to sub Motueka for the Sorachi...

Thank you.

Is this recipe truly grain to packaging in 50-60 days? Thinking about giving this a go in a couple of weeks if it'll be ready that quickly.

Just kegged my batch. FG dropped to 0.999 :pipe: Can't wait for this to be carbed!

Thanks for following up!

Thanks! Whatever you can find out about dregs (composition and viability) would probably be useful to most of us here.

That's kinda what I figured too. I pitched them anyway, but thanks for the reminder to contact Troy.

Anyone know if there are viable dregs in Casey East Bank?

Hmm, there's an idea. I won't have time to do a starter, so maybe I split the ecy20 between batches with the 3278 (tomorrow) and Roselare (July.)

Thanks, maybe I'll give that a try in July. For tomorrow, should I pitch both the 3278 and Rosemarie?

Hi folks, I'm planning to brew a lambic style tomorrow, and because I didn't know too far in advance I'd be brewing, I am limited with my yeast options. I hit up the local brew store today, thinking I was just going to get 3278 and call it a day. I came home with a pack of Roselare (March...
