no expert here either. my first sour is 8 months old and still in the fermenter...unsampled. a saison with 3711 and dregs added at the same time in primary. from what i have read if you add sugar the saison yeast will eat it up before the brett has a chance to do its thing. if you do...

nice looking recipe.... i recently did a porter/stout that ended up more astringent/bitter than i wanted. i'm working on refining my process for brewing dark beers, and i have a couple questions for you if you don't mind. 1. how much water did you steep your grains in? 2 when you...

What I ended up doing was just brewing a straight up porter/stout recipe with adding any peppers to the boil and without plans to add them to secondary. All the research I did pointed me in the direction of making a habanero extract by putting sliced peppers into vodka for a week or so and...

Planning to try to make a stout with habanero peppers this weekend. This is my first attempt at a stout and my first habanero beer attempt, so we'll see...below is a basic recipe and plan for using the peppers... any feedback on the base recipe and the use of peppers is greatly appreciated...

thanks for the info....that's interesting that you are able to do a 3711 plus dregs beer without any maltodextrin. is your beer pretty sour? i may just give that a shot... i really like the idea of saving some of the yeast cake too....great call. thanks.

beeber... thanks for the reply. i guess my problems and questions right now illustrate the beauty of homebrewing well....lots of opinions and no 'best' way to do things.... i included the maltodextrin in large part because some veteran homebrewers suggested it was a good idea because the...

Hi All, I'm really new to homebrewing (6 batches under my belt), and I'm brand new to sour brewing and this board.....in fact I'm so new that I don't really know what I'm doing post wise. i attempted to make this post last night, but i think i must have messed up because it is no where to be...

Hi All.... I'm new to brewing....6 batches under my belt, and I'm brand new to sour brewing and this board.... Here is a link to a recipe I am planning to do soon...in addition to the 3711 I will be pitching dregs from a jolly pumpkin "the firefly" and one bottle of orval...
