Have RR Supplication and Lost Abbey Red Poppy. Any interest? Sent from my iPhone using Home Brew

Who's all in Puyallup? I'm near downtown and always down for a brew session. Brewing at least monthly on my 10 gal system. Let me know if you guys want to get together. Sent from my iPhone using Home Brew

Thinking about racking a gallon or so of future batches when kegging into a bottling bucket and pitching a smack pack of Brett. Pack them away just to see how they come out. Don't think I'll be able to duplicate this but would be fun to see what happens.

Cleaning out the garage and found an old bomber tucked away in a box of brews from an event last October. Had no idea what it was so I cracked it open Well, it was a gusher so I knew it must have picked something up at bottling since I counter pressure fill. Well it sure did, and somehow it...

As with any starter, either ferment fully crash and decant or pitch while the starter is very active. You want your starter pitching temp and wort temp to be as close as possible. More importantly, with a lager you will need to closely monitor your ferment temps. If you are just trying to...

If this is a recipe you enjoy by all means go for it. I would recommend dropping the carapils though. You want a tripel to finish dry. Not sure what the Chinese rock sugar will contribute. You can use simple table or corn sugar and the difference in your finished product will be minimal if...

Looking to conduct a blind test to see if these IPAs are "that good". I know that hype can diminish availability and sometimes these brews can be underwhelming given what some folks will trade for a limited distro brew.

Definitely fast, from grain to glass in under two weeks!

Haha. It's definitely rockin'! I wasn't really worried about the primary yeast as much as the other folks I threw into the party, the pedio, lacto and the Brett. Thought maybe they had worked there way out and was gonna pitch one the krausen fell. I'll definitely let it ride its course...

I figured as much. Thanks!
