no i havent tried making a fig brew yet but i hope to this year , think ill make a lighter ale with some wheat and a clean yeast to help bring out the fig flavor , might have it in time for the sam adams longshot homebrew contest lol.

i have a massive amount of honeysuckles growing near my hop plants and was just wonder if anyone has ever brewed with honeysuckles before .

so its my second season of hop growing and i was just noticing that some of my plants leaves have very crispy edges and holes in them , it really doesnt seem like any sort of bug bitten holes , and the rest of the plat looks fine it seems to be the leaves towards the lower end of the plant i...

ive started to culture yeasts from other breweries maybe i can capture the chimay strain and try using it

yeah i would just sanitize everything and it should be good to go, but if ur unsure you could try doing a few bottles with reusing some screwtops and see how it goes

indeed, next spring ill have to try making a fig beer with what i can muster and use some homegrown hops :)

i wonder if maybe some flavor comes from the type of fermentation vessel they use maybe its a copper that adds a flavor or something like that, i too quest for a perfect clone of chimay , also trying to make a westvleteren 12 clone...well see how that goes hope my recipe is close.

i was just thinking about weird beers the other day and was like ive never seen a beer made with figs and i have a huge fig tree so has anyone ever seen or made a fig beer? i mean i dunno if it would be good lol but you know.

hey was just wondering if anyone had a really close to or exact match clone recipe to the chimay triple and or westvleteren 12 beers ive made a few chimay clones which come out well but just a touch off so i want to see what other ppl have done and ive never tasted the westvleteren 12:( but i...

humm i dunno if the raspberries you used still had seeds in them maybe that could be why , i made a raspberry beer with a can of seedless puree raspberries and it had good flavor i think it was a 49 oz can.

ive got the yeast from the flying fish exit 4 american triple but thats all ive got havent done yeast snatching in a while

yeah i made a ipa with cascades and it smelled great but after bottling the hops mellowed out a bit , it was still really good but next time ill probably do more to account for this so i say do the dry hop. my 2 cents :)

nice little setup :mug:

just by making a beer with such ingredients and then being able to taste that they are there or buy a beer with types of ingredients and then see how well you can tell them apart , it takes a little time to be able to taste the difference between all the different flavors in beers.

regardless of anything theres nothing to lose in my book by repitching yeast other then a few bucks , it can only help to have the extra healthy yeast , but thats just what i would do i that situation.

well if ur worried the yeast is dead you could always just add another pack of the same to it with out anything bad happening but i think the sooner you get the yeast going the better if it was me i would just add a new pack of yeast just in case , most of my beers start fermenting within 24 hours

annapolishomebrew and another brew store (i forget the name ) are in MD that i know of , i get my stuff from annapolis home brew 2 cases of 12 ounce bottles are 30 bucks also if you order online it shows up in like 1 day if its to long a drive

im not 100% but im pretty sure they shouldn't sit to dry untill they turn brown i think they might still have the smell but lose the AA that you want , the way i hear to do it is to let them dry just untill they are papery but dont shatter when squeezed my cascades i harvest and dried this year...

side note hops can kill ur dog i didint know about that untill i started growing my own hops and planted them far away from my house and put a small fence around it , just thought id share the info for anyone who might not know. :)

hummmm i would use PBW and let it sit over night then scrub it out with a brush or maybe ever a piece of steal wool on a stick or something and if that doesnt get it out i would personally get a new one but thats just cause im afraid of infection and out of 30 batches ive never had an infection...
