Late to the discussion, here. I’m trying to collect some wild yeast for a solera. I snagged some organic raspberries and a persimmon...

I had my eyes on the solera blend. I'll revisit this tonight

I started one with a 2nd generation Roeselare and the other one with a starter raised from jester king dregs. I dump dregs into each...

Any advice for specific brett and LAB to pitch? My LHBS doesn't carry anything in this space. I've recently done the uncrushed grain...

Right! I forgot about trub. I'll brew a larger beer, ferment clean, then put two gallons in the solera. Right now, the IBU are too high...

Planning to dedicate a 5 gallon glass carboy to a solera. I have about 3 gallons of a rye lager (20% rye) that isn't wowing me. Ive...

Racked to a keg yesterday. The flat beer does taste more “wild” than “sour,” although there is some tartness. Could be the IBU or the...

I’m not familiar with Ultra, but I have her half-sisters, crystal and Mt. Hood in my garden. They’re destined for a Kölsch (I know about...

Here's the beer that (finally) convinced me to like IPA. It's local for me, so I'm not sure I want to clone it, but glad to see how...

Right. So, stick with classic C hops and throw in a bit of mosaic, simcoe, Ciara or strata if I feel like getting crazy. Might need to...

I’m no noob, but primarily brew German beers. Lately, I’ve been drifting toward classic American pale ale and a few west coast IPAs. I’m...

Perfect. Thanks! I definitely have the German strain. I read it was similar to wlp 830 (which I like) and W34/70. I’m trying to come...

It’s not Baja, but I just snagged a pack of German lager from cellar science. I’ve never used their product before, but it’s so much...

+1 for underpitching. But, you have movement on the gravity, so it will likely ferment out

Thanks for the info about Ester production in dry v. liquid. Based on the discussion here, I've procured a couple packs of dry yeast...
