Makes sense. It's like they're all in their own little carboys.

Thanks again. I usually make a couple twelve ounce bottles as testers so I can monitor what's happening. I popped one at 5 days because I was super curious. It was all the way flat. Other beers that I've had in secondary for a month usually carb up pretty quick. Maybe just takes the full...

Thanks so much. When you bottle a beer that's sat for a few months should you ever add wine yeast? I heard this at a yak the other night.

i brewed a Berliner weisse and then threw in some brett and blackberries for two months. a secondary fermentation went down and then the beer was at 1.002. i bottled it and was wondering if it will be slow to carbonate. any ideas?

Interesting. I started brewing because sours were so expensive. The brewing has become an obsession. The sours don't have hops very often so I haven't looked into the hop world that much. I have a few Flanders reds going that have hops and the smell is great. Thanks for the info.

https://www.craftbeer.com/styles/american-wheat You're totally right. I'll just use hops next time. Actually...dry hopping for a 10-15 ibu might be kinda rad.

My curiosity was because I wanted to figure out what the batch would be without souring or coriander and salt. I like your answer. The batch has a great light taste to it that I want to repeat with a very low ibu Thanks for the input

Thanks a ton

no hops. it was soured. I've done this with salt and coriander to make a gose. so i guess the question is...whats a gose with no salt and coriander?

hi everyone. i just brewed an extract batch where i switched to dme in place of lme. this was to try and get color where i wanted it. i was also getting a malty taste i wasn't in to, so i switched yeast as well. so i used 66% pilsen light dme and 33% bavarian with safale us-05. primary for two...

Thanks a bunch. I really appreciate this

Oh. And can I just up the percentage of pilsner to say 60

Hi everyone. I have a quick question about late addition dme brewing a gose. I've been trying to get my color as light as possible and routinely come up darker than anticipated. I know I can do a late addition with the dme but I'm coming to a point of confusion. I don't boil my wort at first...

thanks a bunch. i did an extract brew and found it was sort of like...cheating. ill give this a go soon. I'm running the gose recipe off of milk the funk. look fun.
