Thanks! I'm going to try the primary with the WLP Saison II Yeast then add the Brett on the secondary. Give it a whirl and see what happens.

Hello, I would like to make a peppercorn Saison with a Brett yeast. My question to the yeast enthusiasts is should I use strictly a Brett strain or perhaps blend a Saison yeast (such as white labs Saison yeasts) and add the Brett after the initial fermentation flurry has died down? Just...

Sorry the iPad is messing up my replies. Plus I've been drinking all day!

Thanks guys. No time to make a starter although I'll do that next time. White labs vials have worked well for me with 5 g batches before. I will probably just go buy another vial to be safe....

Hey, I bought my brewing supplies for a brew day tomorrow 7 days ago. I just found my vial of WLP 001 in the bag. So it was out at RT for 1 week. It is now in the fridge but will it be ok or should I buy another vial? Thanks yeast friends!

By far the best beer I've made! Thanks for the recipe!

I can't wait to try it. I tried sweetwater a month back and that got me looking for a good pale ale recipe. CAN NOT WAIT! Moving to the secondary tonight!

I want to try this recipe. But I gave a question. The recipe says 2 row brewers malt. Is that 2 row pale malt? Also, the toasted pale malt. Is that just more of the pale malt that is toasted? Thanks for the info!

I figured it would be 10 min left in boil as well. Was just getting a second opinion...

Recipe calls for In the grains and adjuncts section: 1.66 lbs Pilsen @ 60 min 0.5 lb caramel 60L @ 60 min 0.33 lb candi sugar @ 10 min 0.17 lb corn sugar @ 10 min It is a 1 gal recipe for a Belgian dark strong ale. I'm just wondering if anyone has added sugar in the mash step before the boil...

I have a recipe that says add the grains at 60 min. I know this is for the mash in. However i also need to add candi sugar and corn sugar at 10 minutes. What I don't know is of this is 10 minutes left in the mash or 10 minutes left in the boil? Does anyone know if I should add the sugar...
