    How to make a big, low-abv Stout/Porter

    So, after reading all your information I'll stick with MO and have a mix of roasted barley and carafa. For the sake of my interest and this thread I'm thinking of doing a split batch. One fermented with windsor (2 packs) and one with wlp 002/004 (medium starter) or an equivalent from wyeast...

    How to make a big, low-abv Stout/Porter

    Wow, loads of Information, thank you! I think I`ll try to do it without lactose, if it works I can rename the thread `make a vegan milk stout` ;) One more follow up questions: - will a shorter mash not mainly bring a lower efficency (but a similar ratio of fermentable/unfermtable sugars)...

    How to make a big, low-abv Stout/Porter

    Thank you everyone for loads of recommendation. I will look deeper into them tomorrow. Some follow up questions: Do I hear 'windsor is low attenuating but... also not a really good yeast' or will the yeast also be good/ineresting? I usually try to avoid dairy products and have friends...

    How to make a big, low-abv Stout/Porter

    Hello Everyone I`d like to brew a big Stout/Porter, best case scenario it is better than Lil`B, Soft DK or Imperial Biscotti Break ;) So I want to do a thick and sweet Stout but I also want it not to have too much alcohol, an abv around 6 would be perfect. How do I achieve that...

    Ordered an inkbird, got an stc-1000, help? :)

    Hey everyone, So I ordered an inkbird and somehow have gotten the stc-1000 instead of a plug'n'play one. I wanted to start brewing this weekend and yeah, the stc 1000 obviously isn't plug'n'play. Is there any way to get the stc to work without soldering? I don't have that kind of...

    Belgian Dark Recipe Feedback

    I don`t think the whole batch is infected. I didn`t see the ring in any of the other beers. And the beer doesn`t have any noticable off-flavours. And they all produce massive fountains (only leaving about 1/5 in the bottle). Overpriming I can not imagine to be the only Problem, as I only gave 3...

    Berliner Weisse with Elderflower

    Thank you very much for this Explanation. It`s very helpful. Maybe you could even make that a wiki-entry or something similar, for all the absolute beginners to see :) I`m actually not too concerned with esters. The l.plantarum which I`m going to use is supposed to be super-clean, so some...

    Berliner Weisse with Elderflower

    About temperature control, I`ll probably get an inkbird and some simple immersible heating element. I`m really not tech savy and I can`t find the Basic Information I Need. So I have a question: If the room temperature is 68F, I want the wort to sour at about 95F. Then the inkbird would turn...

    Berliner Weisse with Elderflower

    Hey Casedeville, Thank you very much for your advice :) I`m going to use pure strain l.plantarum aswell, I`ll do a small starter to save some cost. I can`t get WL-yeasts at all, do you think there is going to be a huge difference between the safale and the wyeast?

    Berliner Weisse with Elderflower

    Sorry abou the link, not sure why it didn't work. I meant the first page that shows up when you google 'bottle conditioning with brett'. Your link is very interesting aswell. One comment he made about the cell count startled me a bit. He mentions that the cell count in a white lab vial is far...

    Berliner Weisse with Elderflower

    Haha, great write up on your brew. Is it possible that the sourness doesn`t come through because there is just still too much sugar in suspension? From what I`ve read, Brett can work pretty slow but steady after a while. So maybe give it another couple of weeks? [If I could read I would have...

    Berliner Weisse with Elderflower

    So, I`ve made some semi-specific recipe. I`ll do it for 7.5 gallons in total. 7lb of bohemian pilsner malt 3-4 EBC 3lb of pale wheat malt 35 EBC WYeast 5335 (Lactobacillus Buchneri, only lacto I can find here) Safale US-05 Wyeast L5112 or Wyeast or 5151PC or Wyeast L5526 Simcoe...

    Berliner Weisse with Elderflower

    Hey Calder, Thank you very much for your detailed Information :) Sadly I don`t have any heating pad that would work with my plastic buckets (don`t judge ;) ). And spending too much on it I`d like to avoid at the Moment. Of these two Options, which one would you say is better? - kettle sour...
