I just brewed a recipe from the back of Wild Brews, a quad that is supposed to be soured with WLP655 after primary with WLP530. The problem is, it is currently at 1.014 from 1.092, which my software says is 10.2% ABV. So I'm worried the pedio will be inhibited and it would be a waste trying to...

Just wanted to post some info about my successful attempt to filter my cider with lots of thick apple sediment with my fancy new Wilserbrewer viole BIAB bag (http://biabbags.webs.com/). Still haven't gotten to brew with it, but I'll take it. I had some apple cider I had juiced at home with...

Thinking about brewing some partigyle in a month or so and the book American Sour Beers was inspiring with a very basic recipe that mentioned working great for second runnings from a big beer. This will be my first multiple step infusion mash. Looking for high fermentability and some light malt...
