I have four questions regarding yeast derived phenols that I hope someone can shed some light on. 1. Does anyone know of any studies (published or unpublished) showing that stressing yeast fermentation via lack of oxygen, low pitching rate, or high gravity can cause phenolic off-flavors in...

I am looking for help on filling this in. If you know of any information-forward commercial brewer video interviews (not just typical craft beer interviews, but process-centric interviews), or anything else that I may have missed, please post them! Thanks in advance...

My take on it. Any feedback is welcome! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6jNgc5Nu46Q

My fellow Americans, let the butchering of the pronunciation of "Motueka" end! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mxEUMdntWt8

A very detailed video geared towards beer brewers on how to make a mead in one month! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U1gJmPsaSFE

I threw together a video on airlocks and sour beers. Let me know if you have any feedback/corrections/additions and hopefully I can make an annotation in the video. Thanks and cheers! http://tinyurl.com/k36ow9s

My buddy Barry did a great interview with Charlie Papazian last weekend while he was touring New York. Good job, Barry! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v3KdfudVKU8 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4NaNAfrgXJg

So there are a lot of references out there about how Brettanomyces can metabolize micro-oxygenation. But how much is too little? I'm not talking about 100% Brett fermentations or fermentations that rely on Brett to do the primary fermentation, but secondary fermentations of Brett that are geared...

Hopefully in good humor... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PU1TODL6ziU

I made a video about my "Framboise". I used a method of blending a sour brown ale with a raspberry brown ale, and keep the blend cold to prevent refermentation. Please forgive me if my babbling is annoying/boring. Keep in mind that my youtube audience has a broad range of experience with...

Please forgive the link to another homebrew forum, but I thought this was just too interesting to not pass on here. A Venezuelan posted his story of recently opening a nano brewery in Venezuela despite having access to basically no ingredients or resources, and a corrupt government that has...

I've seen this term used to refer to Brettanomyces, as well as "other yeasts". Here is one particular source from Wyeast, for example: http://www.wyeastlab.com/com-lambic-brewing.cfm The Wyeast page seems to suggest that Brett is not in the category of "oxidative yeasts", but I have read other...

I brewed a Wee Heavy and accidentally used too many salt additions (I use distilled water). I didn't realize it at the time because the heavy malty body covered up the mistake (it came off as a very slight bacon flavor). I brewed the same recipe and soured it this time. With the bugs thinning...

How to make Goozie

I've been trying to find some information on if Brettanomyces can break down oxidized compounds, and what the effects on flavor would be. So far, I have found a wine-related paper that says that Brett can interact with oxidized ethanol to produce acetone aromas (bottom of page 4). I have a...

Title says it all. Enjoy! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qw7zdSYLJQY

I've documented the last 2 years of brewing a sour beer as a playlist on youtube. I think that the evolution of the beer and how my process has changed over that time could be of interest to some. Special thanks to: Almighty's "1 Gallon Sour Beer" thread. BasicBrewing's Solera...

I did a short tutorial on how to calculate your Brewhouse efficiency and Mash efficiency, as well as take full advantage of the real power behind what makes Beersmith the best brewing software! Hope it helps!
