Interesting Please post link to that podcast when available! Cheers! --yfb--

thanks mvktr2! Would you mind posting links here to any of your own posts relevant to this subject, and when you have one, for the basic brewing podcast? Cheers --yfb--

This is shooting from the hip brewing for sure, but without knowing yeast characteristics, one can still apply experience and common-sense. I did contemplate on the pitch rate, and my rationale was that the right amount of *dry* yeast for the batch would have been around 10g. When reconstituting...

Double post, sorry...

Happy new year, brewers! A small update on this post. The beer fermented down to around 1.010, I bottle conditioned it to around 1.8 vol co2. I'm perfectly happy with the result. It has a malty body and nice yeast profile reminiscent of a typical English ale. Flocculation was good and it...

I was thinking the same, but the airlock has had a very easy job. Fermentation has been quiet, sivilised and steady. Yesterday's sg measured 1.013, and it was still chugging quietly away.

Cool! thanks for sharing!

Thanks for input! What temp did you ferment at? Mine is sitting at 70°

Go for it! See above post for this evening's status. Cheers!

It's been chugging away for 24 hours. Sg sample measured 1.020, and smells&tastes neutral, not particularly yeasty or estery. No funk. Still chugging steadily.

Awesome! At least the airlock smells nice and sweet, nothing funky. Fermentation has been steady and controlled since it started. Will take an sg sample and taste it tonight. Og was 1.032 so it's a small beer, should be easy to pick up flaws. Cheers!

You're probably right. I'll post a taste review in any case. Cheers!

I used grains, water and yeast, so if it turns out not to be liquid bread, I'll be disappointed 😃

Hello hbt-community. I went grocery shopping on Friday, and on impulse, with no intention of baking, I picked up a cube of fresh bakers yeast. Today I brewed up an all grain mild ale, dissolved the full 42 grams cube in some luke warm water. I proofed it with a few drops of my about-to-chill...

Brewer's friend water profile calculator has a function for "boil water". Boiling water is supposed to rid off temporary hardness, leaving the permanent hardness components intact. From what I understand, Brita filters also remove temporary hardness. In France we get our tap water profile...

Steeping in the context of brewing, means to make an infusion or soak something in liquid (normally grain in water) at any temperature, to extract sugars, color and/or flavors. You can e.g. cold-steep ground coffee beans in your fridge over a longer period of time (days) to extract a clean...

Cheers! Second last bottle on top of the box, very last bottle inside. (Latter also goes for the Aryoung's dunkel). The Old Imposter has aged exceptionally well, and tackled oxidation like a nice port wine. Rich aroma of malt, prunes and figs. Intense flavours of malt and dried fruit, rounded by...

A little update at my end. The label doesn't look so great after several months storage in my cellar, but the beer is still good. Flavors have mellowed and changed quite a bit, I now pick up a licorice or phenolic quality I don't remember from previous bottles.
