Hi Guys- Has anyone ever made the comment that one of your beers with a high % of wheat has an "acidity" to it from the wheat? I know wheat contains some type of acid but I've never had this feedback. What causes these flavors to come through? I brewed a Belgian blonde with about 30% wheat. It...

Hi Everyone, I have a batch of 22oz bombers filled with a belgian blonde concotion I made and filtered. I also wax dipped all of the tops for some extra coolness. Yesterday I went to pop one open and got a big puff of carbonation smoke out of it. When I poured it out, I noticed that there...

Hi Guys- I'm working on a recipe I'd like to give a shot soon and I have a question. I know Belgian Pale Ales should have a nice rocky head on them, and noticed that not many, if any at all, of the recipes I've seen explicitly add Wheat Malt. Are there typically enough proteins in the other...

Hi Guys- I've done some poking around and found mixed feedback regarding WLP500 Trappist yeast. My problem is that in the last 2/only 2 brews I've ever used this yeast in, I'm getting a stalled fermentation. In both brews the yeast will attenuate down to say, 1.040 and just stop. Here's a...

Hey Guys- Brewing up a belgian IPA tonight and I wanted to make sure my hops schedule looked right. I'm trying to make this a hop forward beer (kind of like Houblon Chouffe) but I still want the hops to be traditional in the sense of a belgian beer. Here's what I've got: 1.5oz Perle 60...
