Hopefully this worked, but anyone guess what waterfall is behind my beer, hint I was in Maui! Still haven't cloned it yet, but this was fun!!

mswallin13 you must be near me if your shopping Nugget, Thats our go to grocery store. Still want to get going on this but lately a kitchen remodel has had me NOT brewing for almost three months!:mad:

nelson sauvin hops <--- definitly will be looking for these!

Bumping an old thread in hopes someone has uses passion fruit in a wheat beer? FWIW I brew a pineapple wheat with 1 pineapple cored and skined per gallon with citra hops on a very basic wheat recipe and it's fantastic. Pineapples in secondary for 2 weeks. But I was hoping someone has tried...

:off: I love Wailua Wheat, great summer beer, I drink cases of it! Need to learn to clone it!! Sorry to hijack the thread... :off:

Just added rosellare to my sour at 1.018. I've made my recipe from others i've read. I want to add oak and tart cherries, some recipes say to add with the bugs, some say to add about 6 months in? any input on this?

Got a cream ale brewed yesterday. Kind of built my own recipe out of a bunch of other cream ales. One thing is for sure, using all that rice and corn I should have used rice hulls, it took a while to run clear. Otherwise I got to try out my new pH meter and got the beer right on target. I've...

Ahh, tht was my plan, see how many drops it took for one beer then do the math for 5 gallons, thank you for the numbers, your making it easy!!

HA HA, never thought of that, wish I hadn't drank them all flat

I have had an off flavor that I think you are describing as well. It only comes out in my highly hopped beers with no dark grains. ie, IPA and a Black IPA that I mashed the dark grains too late and didn't get anything but color. I think I've read the dark grains can affect pH? I've been getting...

Yes. I didn't have enough belguim bottles. The beer is still really good though!

I hadn't planned it out yet, I need to look into dry stouts, then I was thinking of just modifing my existing oatmeal stout recipe. Now that you mention it though I saw an episode of brewing tv where john palmer was toasting oats and it looked like something i'd like to try.

Last year I bottled a bunch of RIS in various bottles with wine corks. the bottles that were made for corks seemed to hold carb, but the regular 750ml's didn't, they were quite flat. Based on this I am going to cork my sour next year with corkable bottles and wine corks.

Do you pitch both yeasts at the same time on this one or is lager being pitched in secondary?
