Thanks for the thoughts guys. I still think about her multiple times a day. We’re in our new house now and starting to get life back together. I have some material now for a stand so I’m just going to be making a single tier stand now. What a difference having a three car garage...
Thanks for the response guys... Once again, life has gotten in the way. I was originally planning this stand before my daugher was born. She passed at three days old. Now were going to be purchasing a new home within the next couple months so my brew equipment is now in a storage unit. I will...
Sorry to bump this thread but I was looking at my older subscribed threads and thought Id add to it once again. I almost feel with the Huge craft beer movement though-out the country, the "stigma" of being a homebrewer has changed a bit. Ive noticed people done give you a weird look or have...

I'm just slightly concerned about the viability of the sacch since this vial is fairly old. I guess I can get some clean ale yeast that doesn't have high attenuation or I could just mash hotter.
I plan on a starting a 15 gallon solera project in a few weeks. The plan is to make a decent base beer transfer it after primary for souring. I made a really decent flanders red a year and a half ago and I'm thinking about using that recipe again since I know it's good. Or I could find a lambic...
I had a batch of roselare that didn't develop a Pellicle after months. There was no sign of active fermentation after a week or so. I'm not convinced that's the best blend in any way shape or form. Maybe I had a bad batch but I won't be buying another pack.
