I'm planning on trying out this Northern Brewer Patersbier kit next. Anybody brewed it before?
Sounds delicious :cross:
Sounds delicious :cross:
yea...my grains always seem to be mostly whole still from NB. Not even remotely drushed usually.
We brewed up the Patersbier a couple weeks ago. the wort tasted great. should be bottling soon...
mountainbeers, how long do you plan to primary?
The reason I ask is because I just brewed this as well (10/03/09), and was wondering how long you plan on letting it sit. I heard the WY3787 takes a while to settle down
Did any of you who made this before repitch any yeast at bottling?
I'm getting a lot of conflicting info on whether or not I should.
Thanks
I'm wondering if this would work with Safbrew T-58, or if the flavor really is dependent on the Wyeast 3787 Trappist High Gravity? I want to try something like this, but I don't have 3787, and I do have a cake of T-58 in the house. T-58 definitely gives some spicy phenolics, and the original beer sounds delicious.
Anyone tried the substitution?
No, but what harm is there in trying it?
Well, it's funny you should say that. I went ahead and made this beer on Sunday. I had ordered and pre-paid for the Wyeast Trappist High Gravity yeast from my LHBS (they have a website), as well as the grains to be pre-crushed.
When I picked up my order on Saturday, I was informed that they actually didn't have the yeast in stock, and it was going to be Wednesday (tomorrow) before it was going to arrive. Of course, with the holiday upon us, I wasn't going to be able to brew on Wednesday, and the grains were already crushed, so I was faced with the only option to pitch onto the Safbrew T-58 yeast cake.
Well, here it is Tuesday, and the Safbrew is bubbling away like an old-school chemlab. I don't know exactly how similar to the original recipe this will taste, but I will certainly be able to find out, since I will now have two batches in the pipeline of the same grainbill, the only difference being the yeast.
Side-by-side yeast comparisons For The Win!
Has anyone experimented with racking it to a keg and letting it lager for three or four weeks? Because it sounds like folks have just kegged/bottled and are drinking it as soon as they can?
