Hey Guys I plan on drinking a bottle of Sour Monkey (for science of course) tonight so I can get the dregs in a starter. Does anyone know for sure if the yeast in that beer is viable or has it been filtered/pasteurized? I'd rather not waste the time and ingredients if it's dead. Thanks!

I followed the original recipe almost exactly using Notty yeast just over 2 weeks ago and my gravity is sitting around +/- 1.024. I didn't bother with an OG but I figured it would drop pretty low because it's almost completely simple sugars. Hmmm. It's great tasting just still very sweet and...

Last night I picked up a bottle of Unibroue's Don De Deiu and was shocked to find that it tastes ridiculously close to this cider (at least the version I brewed). That beer is a wheat triple brewed using no fruit. Call me crazy, but go do the taste test for yourself. Don De Deiu

I've got a pumpkin ale fermented with S05 that I'm keeping in the primary for another week and a half. When I rack out I'm going to dump this recipe onto the yeast cake. Should be interesting, can't wait to see how it turns out.

So is everyone pitching 2 packs of S05? That's not too much for a beer this size?

I bottled this last weekend and got to try a bit. When I read this described as pumpkin pie in a bottle, I thought yea pretty common description for this type of beer. It'll probably be a pumpkin spiced brown or something. But man, right down to the awesome mouthfeel, this is like taking a bite...

I brewed this beer last year. Follow the link. It was awesome. Just try replacing the Raspberries with cherries. Requiem Raspberry

Has anyone tried bottle priming this recipe with brown sugar?

How reliable is the OG reading? I assume it may read way higher than what it actually is due to 60 oz of pumpkin sediment floating in the wort.

Did you just pour your entire boil in or did you try to filter through the pumpkin? I'm going to brew this up next weekend and I'm thinking I'm going to just dump it all in. Also thinking of adding 1/4 cup or so of Molasses spread over the pumpkin bake? Has anyone tried something similar with...

That give me about a Gallon starter. Is this correct, seems really big?

I am going to brew an expected 9% ABV. I would rather use a starter than double pitch just to save 7 bucks. I have made a pretty standard starter a few times in the past (about 1 L or so) so I know what to do on that front. But I will probably need a bigger one for this brew, what would you...

I would add it now before it ferments. I would be very careful at this point to add water. Just be certain it's sanitized. You'll probably be fine without adding any, it will just have a higher grav. Leave it be and see how it turns out. Live and learn, ya know. It shouldn't be terrible and a...

What would be an expected result if I were to mix a pack of s-04 dry yeast and White Labs Irish Ale Yeast? The reason I ask is I ordered from AHS 4 days ago and it's arrived today (sitting on my porch in the GA heat while I'm at work.) I'm worried my WL yeast (packed w/cold pack) may not have...

This is a 5 star beer in my book. I brewed this last month and am down to a six pack. Amazing and packs a punch.
