A little late, but I did an all Brett L. Alt. It is great! Malty, stone fruit, and on the dryer side. Quite the unique combo! 10/10... would recommend!

I have plans for all of it! It is just a matter of getting through my rotation. I think 3 would be a good number to have in my fridge. I dont think I will be washing or saving any more cakes unless it is a great sour cake, just to keep it going. I rarely do any lagering. That is something I...

HEYOOOOO... touché... or should i say *****é... It is some important stuff!

Also, I have a smackpack of lambic blend. I also will be harvesting a few more yeast cakes over the next few months.

I pitched a big ol' starter into 9 ibu wort. Let ride for 3 days. I got to 3.8 or so before it stalled. I will be harvesting off of grain hulls next time to see how that goes. I pitched my belgian ale yeast a few weeks ago, I will test it next week to see if it dropped any. I use an...

Sampled the farmhouse with 670 yesterday. Man, I'm very pleased! Nice and dry. Mild spice. No funk yet. I think I might rack to a keg next week and put a few psi on it. Perhaps pick up a few bottles of Orval to pitch the dregs. Then pressure secondary. Sent from my iPhone using Home Brew

Here is the thing. I have about $200 dollars burning a hole in my pocket. I have a 4 keg, kegerator, a deep freeze ferm chamber, I have basic yeast equip(flasks, stir plates etc.) and I am making 5 gallon batches. I cant decide whether my money would be better spent on: a. a grain mill...

Sounds good! I sampled my 670 yesterday. Still a little sweet. I got the Brett a. From love2brew. It's tasty! Pretty dry already. Nice and fruity. I'm excited for this one. Sent from my iPhone using Home Brew

I've got 670 going right now. Good choice. I'll have a big cake of Brett a. I could use. I'm using the basic strain from wyeast. I could give the lacto a good head start, then pitch the Brett cake with a big starter of pawn or Chico. Sent from my iPhone using Home Brew
