    Sour Cherry Wheat (Fast and Fake Kriek)

    I am not the OP but I have done this recipe. What I did was the following 1. The grain you have listed under "Grist" is for the brew day mash? So I would need 3# more for the sour mash? Total of 12.75#? Yes 3# more for your sour mash 2. When do I add the sour mash to the rest of...

    Low Efficiency

    Personal experience, I had the exact same problem. What I tried: Bought a big paddle, stirred the bejesus out of it - didn't do much Bought an electronic thermometer checked my temp throughout the mash - maintained 2 degrees during the entire mash, so thats not the problem. I had a mash tun with...

    Sour Cherry Wheat (Fast and Fake Kriek)

    Just a public service announcement... if you try this, make sure you maintain 100-110 degrees for the full 48-72 hours because if it drops below... it smells like death and it doesn't get sour. I speak from experience. I'll try it again but this time I will use a pot and stick it in the oven on...

    Vomit\Rotten Cheese smell from Berliner Weisse

    About a month ago I did a no boil Berliner Weisse. I pitched lacto on it and let it rock and roll. About 4 weeks later I came back and tossed some dry yeast on it.... I think it was s33. Anyway. About a week later I went to grab a sample and MY GOD does it stink. I nabbed a sample and there was...

    Hydrometer reading changes with temp?

    I have been brewing for some time now but I just noticed something last night and this morning and I was wondering if someone could clear it up for me. Last night I did an all grain batch of and English ESB. As I was chilling the wort, I snagged a sample at about 80 degrees and put it into my...

    Funny things you've overheard about beer

    Guy at work tasted my oaked imperial stout, said its too strong for him. Fair enough, I know that style is not for everyone. A few weeks later, he is explaining to me that if I make a better quality beer I do not need oak.... all the best beer and wine in the world don't use oak. Asked him what...

    It smells soooo bad.....

    I hate to resurrect a dead post, but i noticed i never got back about this. Turns out the beer was bad... it was UN-DRINKABLE, we let it ride a few months, put it into a keg, carbed it up and it was like drinking black windex... or what I would think windex would taste like. So we pitched it...

    Pitching beer onto wine yeast cake?

    after doing a little research on DFH 61 they said they brew their 60min IPA and start fermentation, once the fermentation is most active and you have maximum krausen they add the must. So my assumption is that they do not use wine yeast at all it is simply a must addition that gives it its wine...
