    Hop stand

    Not scrubbing could be the problem. I only tear down and srub my kegs once a year. I only have 6 kegs so I just keep the same types of beer in each one. I have one for Apfelwein, 2 for PA and IPA, 2 for stouts and dark ales, and one for lagers (I tend to only do vaieations of Vienna lagers)

    Hop stand

    I've been using this technique for a while now. When I first started, my beers were too bitter. I adjusted by adding my bittering charge at 30 minutes left in the boil but enter it in beersmith as a 60min addition. At flame out, i add all the rest of my hops calculated in BS as a 20min additio...

    The EPIC 5 year vertical tasting of BIGFOOT

    Awesome. When I'm due to pcs next year I am going to set up up a few great vertical tastings. I have bottles of 2010-present of Bigfoot, Abyss, and the annual Black Butte. Should be good times. Unfortunately I do not know anyone who enjoys craft beer. My buddies here all think green stinkies are...

    Westvleteren 12 why the hype?

    I agree. I lived in Belgium between 2007-2010. I went to St. Sixtus Abbey a few time when people came to visit, but for me Rochefort is a better beer. The beer I really miss right now though is Orval. Man I wish I could just drive down to the GB and pick up a couple of cases for less than 2...

    re-pitch to bottle kriek lambic

    About two months ago I bottled my first kriek without re-pitching any yeast. The kriek sat for 14 months before bottling and had no issues with carbing up.

    Has anyone seen or drank this?

    I've been to that castle but didn't notice the beer. I tend to ignore the tourist souvenirs, especially when touring on motorcycle. I do wish I had seen this though. I would have picked one up to drink at a campsite.

    I take it this isn't normal

    The big bubbles on the side of the bag look like infection to me. If those weren't there then yeah I would look like yeast to me as well.

    Official US Retail Locations For the Westvleteren XII

    Don't buy into the hype. It's not that good. I lived in Belgium for 3 years and took many people to St. Sixtus to try the "#1 beer in the world" meanwhile I drank their blonde. The beer is good. Is it $85 a six pack good? Helll no. I like Rochefort 10 better anyway.

    for all you sanitation freaks! :D

    I didn't watch the whole video but I doubt those Kenyens who are using bannanna leaf filters and funnels and fermenting in logs burried in dirt are using packaged yeast.

    for all you sanitation freaks! :D

    The reason we sanitize is the same reason they don't, wild yeasts. They wan't them we don't. For them the wild yeast is what gets their fermentation going. For us it just causes off flavors compared to what we are originally going for.

    Low Output on 5 Gallon recipes

    Amen to that! If you like your beer now and don't want it to change just suck it up and deal with a few bottles less. If getting more beer is more important than keeping your beer as it is now, it's best to add the water pre-boil. If you do not have that option due to kettle size then you...

    Best single addition to your brew day procedure

    For me it was to not drink while brewing and instead fire up a pipe or cigar. For some reason the stupid mistakes just quit happening, plus it's nice to not be drunk by lunchtime on a brew day.
