@SFC Rudy - which specific systems do you have?

To answer your questions I'm as technical as I can be with my system I like all stages of the brew day (except clean up!) LoDo?? My recipes are both. Probably 65/35 Singe/Step I'm fairly varied with my styles. I tend to favor Belgians and European Lagers, but also do a variety of ales (IPA...

I currently have a three vessel, low tech (gravity fed, coolers for mash and sparge) propane system. Couple years ago upgraded to 15 gallon Spike kettle, which works great and gives flexibility. Have been brewing on this system for 5.5 years, nothing wrong with it, but would like more precision...

I too use Pilsner, pale, Candi syrup and WLP530. I also add a spot of Special B. Seem to get the Belgiany aroma and taste on my quads

Right before Christmas, I hosted a Belgian quad tasting event with 3 other home brewers. We had a blind tasting, and judged each sample. Lined up best on the left to right. 9 (un-labeled bottles) of the 12 Quads were home-brews. My brews placed #2, #3, #5, #7 and #9. See pic. Good times. I...

My first Munich Helles I made with WLP838 and it game out good. I have scored some WLP860 and I plan to use that for the next one - anyone have experience with that. I'd also like to save the yeast from that batch and make a second beer using it. Any suggestions?

Typically my Trippels mature a bit faster, so if starting at the beginning, I'd do Quad - Dubbel - Triple - Single. In any case would like to hear how yours turned out!

Anyone have any good updates on this one? I LOVE straightjacket and would like to attempt a clone

Typically anywhere from 1-8 weeks (since I have 2 steel fermenters). So you take a dry paper towel, fold it, then clamp down the lid of fermenter?

76 for S05? Seems a bit high?

I have a Helles Lagering a Belgian Dubbel Conditioning a Scottish Export fermenting

I do a fairly thorough clean of my steel fermenter after fermentation. Scrub it out, soak in hot PBW, rinse in hot water, sanitize with StarSan. Looks good and smells good. Then I put it away (in a clean, dry pantry closet). After x weeks, I will take it out for brew day. When I pop the...

@dperrigan Thanks for your post. Would like to know how the beer truly finished and the taste. Of course it's still a young beer for a while!

@BrewCityBaller Do you enjoy your version more than the GL version?
