No choc or roasted malt in the recipe. 85-90% 2 row 10-15% cry120/special b The range varies based on your system. Chinook at 90, 45, 15 I target 90 ibus total using an even amount at all three times. I use Wlp007. I have more luck with it finishing lower with 007 that 002. People always...

I like the keg cut in half. Maybe I could get someone to go in on one with me. Thanks for all the ideas. I do want to get a 6 gallon oak barrel to use as my funk barrel. I was thinking of doing a cool ship at my house but also saving dregs from some commercial sours and pithing the dregs along...

Im interested in doing an actual lambic using a coolship and wild yeast. What works best for a 5 gal batch? I was thinking maybe a plastic container used for storing clothes under a bed. I need examples, pictures, and advice! Sent from my iPhone using Home Brew

My 3rd year fuggle has some sprouts but most likely these wont be the primary vine. Some others will sprout and pass these in late march. My second year chinooks haven't made a move but when I transferred containers there were some buds Sent from my iPhone using Home Brew

Looking to trade a couple bottles of Duck Duck Gooze from The Lost Abbey. Looking for Heady Topper or any limited release from east coast/Midwest

I wash my yeast. Fermentation seems to run much smoother a few generations into a yeast strain. Just remember each yeast strain acts, looks, flocs different. That washed yeast looks good to me. Maybe try washing one more time.

I think the yeast is one of the key differences in the flavor profile for stone. Why else would they keep their strain proprietary? Its not cheap. Try dry hopping as well. Not a lot but just a little. In my opinion AB is slightly dry hopped

007 is close but NOT the same hence the reason most clones are close but not the same. Cali-bel uses a belgian yeast not stones yeast.

A big flavor component that is overlooked is Stone's yeast strain.

I am going to transplant two rhizomes from containers to the ground. One is a year old chinook the other is a 2nd year fuggle. Should I do it when they go dormant or when I would plant a new rhizome?

I usually give my 4 chickens half of my spent grain, use a little for dog treats, and put the rest in our compost. I haven't had any smell sour but i had a rat go bonkers eating out of the compost. Now I secure my compost.

I don't know about fixes now but for future reference maybe your capper isn't working?

I pulled off a cone to see what the lupulin content looked like. Think I should pick them now or wait? Its a first year chinook and i have about 20 cones that are close to this size and more that are just starting to bud.

My fuggle is going crazy now. Shooting bines all over the place.

I have a bottle of Cantillon Iris and I'm not sure what to do with it. Should I drink it now? cellar it for a few years, keep it for a special occasion (what occasion?), stop asking hbt and drink it or what? If I understand my cantillon's right the Iris is made with fresh hops and a little...
