Homebrew bitter in a Hillbilly pint glass.

I am modeling the recipe from this source - http://sjworthogs.org/documents/Old%20British%20Beers.pdf. So this is more of an curious experiment. I after reading up on this yeast strain I am beginning to wonder if this yeast may have been involved in old IPA's. This is a long term project and...

So my LHBS sold me WLP644 because I wanted to do a 100% brett. Well, I now see that won't be the case but the discussion around this yeast seems it's still an interesting yeast. I have a special recipe I have been wanting to do and would like some feed back about using this yeast. It's an Old...

oh and the mash got very VERY stuck. I ended up having to stir/lift a giant pudding from the bottom of the mash tun before it would drain. It was probably all the corn. I think I should have used some if not all 6-row instead of the maris?

So I brewed this last summer and planned on bottling before labor day but life happened. I thought it got infested by fruit flies (heheh I know but I planned on the name before then) and when I opened the fermenter I thought it was ruined. Lots of floaties and a big ring in the middle. Moved it...

Count me in!

yea I noticed those in the picture. Fermented with WLP 565. What's there to lose now but time.

I brewed this saison in April and opened the lid today to see this. It smells sweet/good. RDWHAHB? And bottle?

That is an option but it still about 66F and the temp fluctuates.

So I am planning on brewing a tank 7 Clone but have some issue with ferment temp. Still very mild weather here in Colorado and my basement is parked at 60F. My though is make a starter with WLP565 let it go for 4-5 days then pour off spent wort and add new wort and pitch with a more aggressive...

Thanks! Have to try this soon and getting the fast turn around allows tweaking before the concert.

How long from brew day till drinkable for you? I am planning a special brew for labor day and wondering when I should brew. Tried the original the other day and loved it. Be a great hot afternoon beer.

Most Awesomeness! Very steampunk.

What is the reason behind using so much flaked corn? Does it add to the flavor profile or more to ferment out drier. Also, when I calculate out Boulevards dry hopping rate for this beer I get something like 12.5 grams/5 gallons which seems like a pretty low dry hopping rate.

sweeet.
