The Catechism Cataclysm (2011) My favorite.

Thanks. I'll give it a shot!

Did anyone ever brew this? How did it turn out? Just curious if the conflicts too much with the style.

I just got C3 in the mail today.

I can send you out a bottle of my Single Hop: Mosaic (C2) when I send Dmitri (BKYeast) his. I bottled it last week, so I plan on shipping two weeks. Let me know...always open to a beer trade.

Enlightened. It took me some time to get it going. The first mother was very thin, so I added extra dregs from another bottle every cycle. In the end it took me three bottles, but at this point my SCOBY is almost two inches thick from batch to batch.

About 8 months ago I grew up a SCOBY from a Raw GT's Original Flavor bottle and it's been going strong ever since.

It's down to 1.000. How much more could it possibly go?

I did notice that airlock activity was nonexistent after day 3. Definitely seems like a quick fermenter. A DIPA sounds pretty good too. I think I'll be bumping up my oat addition to 10-12% just to gain a bit more body.

I took a sample of my C2 Mosaic Blonde brewed 5/14 and it has fermented down to 1.000 in two weeks. OG was 1.056 and I was hoping for something at a session strength. Big tropical fruit/berry flavor (I attribute the berry end to the C2) I definitely notice a woody note too. The mouthfeel is...

I normally keg, but I'll be bottling this one. I made a Brett Trois IPA awhile ago legged half and bottled the rest. The bottles have definitely improved with age.

I brewed it last week, but I just checked my notes and I'm getting my beers all mixed up. I think I might have too many beers going right now. Here's what I ended up brewing with the C2. I thought about dry hopping this beer too, but I feel like I'ld be losing all ability to pick up on what...

+1 The pellicle in my starter grew thick and quick when I turned it off. I ended up brewing a single hopped Mosaic American Wheat with 8% Oats and a touch of acid malt. Pitched a 1200ml starter at 70 and it took about 18 hours to show any signs of activity. The initial dominant smell was of...

Just made up a 650ml starter of C2 yesterday. Also a 650ml of Stillwater Premium dregs. Will report back on the C2 later on.

I drank on the low side (Coqui 900) to higher side of the realm (Sierra Pale Ale). It wasn't until I had DFH 90 min and Makana Meadery Honey Sun Mead that I realized I wanted to try to make stuff. Now, it's hard to seek any commercial beer as long as there's something on tap at my house. Oddly...
