I honestly used to know enough several years ago about that topic. I do know corn meal/grits/polenta is fine to use. Just watch the sodium content, they sometimes like to add salt in them.

Umm...no that's false. It's the same corb, the thing is you can't use it because of the oils present in corn on the cob in it's current state. Don't do it, use corn meal or maize flakes. On your typical corn on the cobs there are oils present in the kernels. Those oils will ruin your beer.

Sorry for the delayed response. You I wasn't able to harvest any live cultures. I ended up taking 24 5ml samples in search of viable pacman yeast. I didn't come across any viable cultures. :(

And...a monster of an infection. My infected Rye Saison My mouth is just watering looking at that!

Don't worry about the coffee, if you soaked them in vodka or bourbon for awhile then you're golden. I didn't sanitize my coffee out of curiosity.

Boring beer? Never heard such madness?!? :P My yeast does tricks in my pint glass to entertain me lol

I plan on kegging this bad boy either tomorrow or next weekend. I will repost my findings with a picture of what I found under the scope. I also want to take a gc/ms headspace sample to see what coffee components made it through the final product. :D

Indeed I do, and I do believe I know where you're going with this..but correct me please if I'm wrong. I use star san to sanitize everything, but the minuet amounts that is residual from the carboy is irrelevant as it sufacting capabilities degrades when beer takes its place in the carboy. That...

Or make a strawberry lambic, that would come out perfect in the flavor and tartness.

15 minute decoction boil will get you the color you're longing for.

I know right? I want to take a sample to work at let the lab guys take a look at it. They have an awesome Nikon they use to look at pathogens...lol

This is my Foreign Extra Stout that I crafted. I decided to rack this to my secondary and I dropped 3.5 oz of coffee grounds without sanitizing it first just as an experiment. Then three weeks later I got this going on! Yayz!

wonderbread23, you were right. although I didn't read your reply just til' now. I figured it out after i made the post when i went through my notes. lol, under normal circumstances i would of known better...this deployment coming up has been keeping me from my game on the brewing side...

Here's my problem, I brewed a variant of Cheese's VCCA several weeks ago and I'll post the recipe/specs if needed. I achieved a 1.053 OG and used wyeast 1056 (6th generation) on a stirplate (1 liter). A krausen came and went and a nice yeast cake as normal appeared on the bottom of the...

I may have to enter it in both and find out then, huh? :ban: Thanks for the help! I honestly never brewed with spalt before. My normal hops I play with is Hersbrucker, Challenger, Northern Brewer, Target, Whitbread Goldings Variety, Cascade, and Amarillo. Haha, which episode was that pjj2ba?

No it has a subtle NB flavor and aroma. I thought so, but a friend of mine was adamant about if it doesn't contain Spalt or any other noble hop it can't be a spalt.

I was under the impression that using "speise" (sugar) was legal under Reinheitsgebot to carb beers with. Please correct me if I'm wrong...

I dig the Hefe ideas on this, You may think i'm crazy for suggesting this but use coriander at .5g/l and lemon zest in the boil. Then add strawberries in the secondary and leave in until its ready! Hops I suggest Whitbread Goldings Variety because they're irresistibly fruity in the 15-20 mins...
