I forgot I had a batch of Kolsch hiding in the beer cave. It has been in primary for 3 months. The unlock is on but empty. Thoughts?

Ok. I've read this while post and I get getting really....stinky lemon cheese aromas before I boil! I remember some saying the death and vomit smell are normal until after the boil. This was a Berliner recipe with lacto de. At 100*f. What the heck??

Do you recommend this unit? Still love it? I am about to pull the trigger and order one.

Let me know what you thought no when you get the new brewery!!

Done!!

Is this issue with DMS just more pronounced with Pilsner Malts or pale malts in general?

The recipe was basically 5lbs Pilsner malt and 3.5lbs Vienna. Maybe .5lbs dextrins. This was sampled on its way to the secondary. It had been in primary at 54F and then crashed to 34F for a few days before racking off the yeast cake. This was a 60 min boil so maybe the DMS did not boil off...

Howdy y'all. I just racked a Mexican lager over to the secondary and had some odd favors. I fermented it with Munich lager yeast at 53F for 2.5 weeks and did a Diacytl rest at 64 for 2 days. Then crashed it to 34 F before transferring. I am getting a good corny, malty aftertaste that's not...

I keep seeing this Gose recipe posted from BYO. Has anyone done this recipe and how did it turn out?

This may have already been posted, but can't seem to find the answer here. Is it better to capture the yeast slurry from the primary or secondary? Is this he same in carboys as if I'm using a conical? Thanks

Ah ha! Will do!

Anyone have any keggles or kegs in the DFW area??

Yikes to the open fermentation! And honestly I use vodka in my airlocks. I would rather have the airlock suck that in than sanitizer any day!!

Awesome. Thanks for that! I will give that a shot in my brew schedule next week! Primary and secondary with this recipe? Did you add fruit in primary or sec? Thanks so much, this has been a really helpful thread.

This may have already been posted in this fantastic post but how long is this type of spur taking to ferment. I am looking for something faster to supplement my Roselares that take 2-3 years
