Smells great. Actually smells identical to the beers the dregs came from, which makes sense I suppose.

I made a little starter in a mason jar two weeks ago out of the dregs from some lambics I'd been saving. I'd forgotten about it until today and when I pooped the lid off I noticed this creature floating in there. It literally looks like a black walnut. I've done a lot of sours over the years and...

Don't discount the perception of dryness carbonation will give it. A highly carbed Belgian tastes a lot different than the hydro sample.

It'll be just fine. Keep it cooler initially and raise it slowly to reduce esters. I've had trouble lately with it attenuating properly so be sure to get a good starter going. Sent from my iPhone using Home Brew

Oh I forgot to mention that. Grain was crushed at three different brew stores with the same results. Sent from my iPhone using Home Brew

I'm at a total loss. The last three batches I've brewed have been 10 or more gravity points below my anticipated gravity. I don't understand it. Literally nothing has changed with my system or process. I have a 10 gallon cooler for a mash tun. I did notice that my thermometer was about five...

Brewing an all Pils malt brew today. Gonna ferment with 3787 Trappist High Gravity. I picked up a couple of ounces of Palisade just to see what they're all about. Anyone had experience with Palisade in general or in a Belgian style?

I say kegging can save it because the cold temps of your fridge should stop the progress of whatever is being active in your beer. I'm not sure what it is that creeps up so fast but it never creates a pelicle or molds, just appears as a restarted fermentation. If you bottle it I think you'll get...

I've had a similar situation with a beer sitting calmly for a while then bubbles started showing up on the sides. Unfortunately it ended up being an infection. If u bottle your beer you might be screwed but if you keg you might be able to stop it in time. Either way, that's a looong time for a...
