So I am in the process of getting everything together for my first sour beer and I want to do a La Folie clone. I have read several recipes and have searched all I can. The main question is do they use cherries in the real thing? The aroma just hits me with cherries and the BYO clone...

Since I am cursed with being on the east coast and away from all the great west coast breweries, I have not been able to find the elusive Pliny the Elder. So I went with the next best thing, brewing my own. Brewed the all-grain recipe from Brewing Classic Styles and hit all my marks right on...

My Dunkelweizen has been in the primary over 2 weeks, and is still stuck at 1.02. I checked it at day 10 then again at day 12 at is was 1.022. I posted on here and the guidance was to give it a gentle stir and maybe warm it up a couple degrees. I did both, went from 68 to 70 and gave it a...
