7 month pellicle, droidx providing the lighting via the flashlight app :) The condensation kind of ruins this shot for me, but I love how the brew glows against the warning on the bucket and the pellicle lit up. High Resolution...

Nope no chem analysis. That's calculated ibu, not actual. It wasn't designed to be a bitter beer, first wort and immense late additions were a big factor in hitting the 150+ calc'd ibus. It's VERY easy to hit whatever ibu you want when you are going by calculations. I've got a 186ibu 6.9%...

If i had more I wouldn't mind at all! Blewoff about a gallon and lost almost a half gallon to dryhopping.

only 3.6 gallons :( 12 750s and 9 12oz were all I got out of this batch and it's all spoken for save for two 750s for myself and a single 12oz for carb testing in about a month. But for what it's worth a buddy of mine posted the base recipe on...

Finally corked up The Orchard, an 11.6%abv american barleywine with loads of citra and centennial late additions aged on apple brandy soaked hungarian and french oaks and finally dryhopped with calypso. bottled with t58.

The new label setup I will be continuing for a while... This one for my 150ibu 7.5% dipa. Truly a brew I am proud of.

just bottled and labeled my smoked baltic oatmeal porter with espresso and vanilla bean. extremely minimal label for a complex brew ;) It's a blend of a 1.090 espresso smoked porter, a 1.060 lager'd smoked porter with lager yeast portion, and a 1.060 trappist ale yeast smoked porter version...

A low res phone pic of my Drie Fonteinen Straffe Winter Clone (straffe winter dregs .5L starter + nottingham) @ six weeks as of Sunday: And a quick shot of my Sour Patch, back three, left to right are House Bruin (partial mash, bucket, hoping it gets acidic enough to blend, coolshipped kind...

subscribing because this sounds delicious.

Cuvee Rene is most definitely NOT Pasturized. I have a very nice yeast sample from the dregs I just recently cultured. They went pretty nuts for a while, very active very quickly for me. I wish I had seen this thread earlier today, I literally just barely put them into a vial from the...

Just bottled with malt extract and I must say the gravity sample was very tasty. Very dry almost wine like. Raspberry tartness and some hop bitterness up front (i made substitutions though) with a slight malty finish. Alcohol is present throughout, but almost acts like glue. It's holding...

Can't really help you there, I'm not a hop lover so I underhopped ontop of the fact that was already working with less AA's from my varieties.

different hops, different yeast, some liquid malt extract in the mix. i listed the changes on page two in more detail. smelled absolutely amazing as I was putting her in secondary, tasted very nice, but the aroma was heavenly!

I'm going to have to agree, I made some changes and the beer still came out really nice. Just tasted, took a gravity reading (1.015 after 7 days fermenting), and threw her on 30oz of raspberries and 10oz of blueberries. She's been on the fruit for a couple hours now and is starting to look...

og was a bit high at 1.064, but it was a bit hot here yesterday. did a full boil, and went with a combo of s-05 and a vial of wlp002. tastes pretty damn good so far, bubbling away vigorously as we speak. Cheers! dave
