Sold?

Unfortunately I tossed the bag before checking the batch number. I got the sack from a local HBS that turns over a lot of product, so I'd be surprised if it's all that old. Mill gap is .035, which I use for everything. The grist looks normal, and a different Pilsner batch I did in between...

Yep. That was one of the first things I checked after the first lousy batch.

Hello brewing friends. I recently acquired a new bag of Thomas Faucett Maris Otter and have had a hard drop in kettle efficiency with the bag. I can't say I've used TF exclusively in the past, my bags have probably been a mix of TF and Baird, but I've never noticed any difference in...

Teromous: I got the seeds at a local independent grocery store. They're packaged in a little 2oz clear packet with a generic store label, so I'd guess the store is just repackaging from bulk. Good point on different characteristics of seed varieties, I might stop by and see if they can give...

Good question. The competition was also a festival with ~2000 attendees that floated the whole 5 gallon keg in just over an hour, so I didn't get to spend a lot of time with the finished beer (it was a new recipe). I should've held back a bottle to sample while reading the judges notes. From...

Hello brewers, Last month I entered a home brewing competition and got some interesting feedback on a Grapefruit Gose. It was a pretty standard gose recipe, with 50% pils, 50% wheat, 1/2 tsp coriander and 1/2 tsp sea salt in a 5g batch. I kettle soured with Goodbelly to about 3.5ph...
