Probably, but I've seen most people say that fermenting out before adding the Roeselare means less or slower sour character.

Great advice, thanks. Sad to hear about Petrus, I love that stuff. I've searched my local bottle shops and found some other good sours that are on the lists of useful dregs, but not as many as I expected.

Hmm, interesting. It requires having some extra fermenters, but I'm not completely against it. Do you think that if I did just ferment the saison with 3724 and then with roeselare, then dropped the oud bruin on that cake with the mixture of the two, I'd get too much saison character in the oud...

OK, I'm about to brew a sour, but I have a few options and would like some advice. I have the ingredients for a Saison and an Oud Bruin. Originally, the saison was going to be fermented with Wyeast 3724, but now I'm also ready to brew a sour, and the Oud Bruin was going to be fermented with...

Ha. I'm doing something similar, but mine would be "inconsiderate Greek-Scotch-Irish bloke." Otherwise, an "Oktoberfest Style Ale" is the first beer I ever brewed several years ago. I liked it quite a lot, so now that I know what I'm doing more than I did then, I'm trying again. Different...

True! Honestly I didn't even consider the thing paying for itself when I was building it - I just wanted a kegerator, both for homebrew and commercial. But then I realized, wait, I just got 5 gallons of Brooklyn Brown for $59? And so the spreadsheet was born. But yeah, as far as being a...

I just have a bowl on the floor right now :) What? It works!

I assembled mine this week (pics to follow once it's worthy and the taps are mounted on the wall behind my bar!), and like a good geek, I threw together this spreadsheet to track savings and determine when the kegerator would pay for itself. Including the initial $30 deposits for 2...

Please let me know. I may be interested.

This is from 2008, but I just want to make sure everyone knows that while I know it's fun to let dogs drink beer (especially when it has spilled), alcohol is bad for dogs. http://www.aspcabehavior.org/articles/71/Foods-That-Are-Hazardous-to-Dogs-.aspx I love my beer, but I love my dogs...

Well let me clear this up, what the instructions said to do was to boil 4 pints of water and pour it into the bucket where the contents of the can and the sugar (or in this case the dry malt) are already waiting. Then stir it to dissolve everything, then add the remainder of cold water to the 5...

Today I got a brewing kit (called Ale Pail) which comes with a brewing pail and a bottling pail. I got a John Bull india pale ale kit as my first experiment. It comes with instructions and everything, but the guy at the store suggested using malt extract (powder form) to give the beer a higher...

I won't be trying this too soon since I'm a complete amateur, but I'm very curious. Buying a mix and brewing it is great and all, but how do you actually create a recipe? Where can I find information on how much of what would be good together to create certain types of beers that I can call my...
