I'm looking for some advice. I typically brew Belgian inspired ales and Pilsners but I'm looking to brew a pale ale for an upcoming fantasy baseball auction being held in Las Vegas. I have this habit of needing a few ounces of something, but buying in bulk and the result is that I have lots of...

Hindsight is 20/20 but I guess making mistakes is part of the learning process. I brewed a Belgian Dark Strong a few months ago and then racked off 1 gallon onto a # of cherries and Russian River's Consecration bottle dregs. I bottled the remaining Dark Strong 10 days ago and decided to taste...

I brewed a Saison on Saturday, the grist I'll include below not that it really matters. I split the batch into two 3 gallon better bottles and pitched the Saison Brett blend from Yeast Bay in one and Brett Brux Drie in the other.

Does anyone have a suggestion? So the day is finally here, my first batch of beer. I get my yeast starter going, cool down the wort to 72 degrees, shake my vial of White Labs Saison Ale Yeast prior to pitching it into the flask and when I open it up, it explodes like a bottle of tonic water. I...
