It's "sick." Bunch of good info here about that and a video that looks exactly like yours. https://www.homebrewtalk.com/f127/slime-beer-sick-phase-448511/

I actually cultured the yeast from La Trappe's Tripel a little over 2 years ago. In that case, it certainly was the primary strain and have since brewed many belgian beers modeled after dubbels and tripels. Follow the procedure ColoHox laid out for you and you should have yourself a nice colony...

I've noticed that my bottled beer doesn't travel well. That is, if I don't give them sufficient time to settle after moving them, I'll have gushers. This is regardless of temperature and even with lower carbed beers. They just seem to be very sensitive to agitation

Congrats man! I got a bronze myself in the Toronto one for my oatmeal stout.

What's the process during fermentation that turns isomerized hop compounds into light sensitive ones?

The next photo is of what was left of the rice after harvesting and the last is the rice wine after pasteurization and ~8 hours in the fridge. It is now still, and delicious!

Just harvested my 4 cup dry rice batch. Details: - Used Jasmine Rice - Cooked using 1.5:1 water to rice (6cups water to 4 cups rice) - Rice was soaked for an hour and rinsed briefly after - Over cooked the hell out of the rice by accident I also pasteurized the batch on the stove by holding it...

Dunkelweiss

I just set up a 4 cup batch (dry volume) and have a couple questions: 1) How much of an issue is indirect sunlight? 2) I overcooked the rice, will this change the final product at all?

I realize this is a really old post, but I found it in the related threads while looking up Belgian yeasts. I have successfully managed to harvest the yeast from te tripel and an have used it in my own tripel and dubbel. Both came out great with a yeast character very similar to the...

Broken carboy, wet vac to clean up, decided to run with it?

I'd love to sell it to you, but shipping would cost upwards of $500 from the estimate I just got from Canada Post. You would be much better off just ordering from here http://www.midwestsupplies.com/15-gallon-glass-demi-john.html

I was on the fence about the carapils myself actually. It was more so to ensure a nice rocky head, but the other crystal malts and higher mash temp should help as well. As for the hops, I don't have much on hand. I do have an ounce of northern brewer and an ounce of hallertau that I could use...

I've been wanting to put together a malty, rich, grainy and complex brown ale for some time. This is the recipe I have come up with. What do you guys think? 4 lbs Pale Malt (2 Row) US (2.0 SRM) 38.1 % 3 lbs Munich Malt (9.0 SRM)...

I came across a guy who made an I-Peep-A, where he melted a load marshmallow peeps in his boil instead of sugar for an IPA. Something like that would offer essentially nothing other than fermetables and a ton of novelty.
