I did a porter with Vienna as base malt many years ago. It was very good. Long time ago but it was basically Vienna with a little Special B and pale choc

Tried this out recently. Very easy to use and quite a good yeast. I make rice lagers mostly, around 4% and this gives a nice character while still being easy drinking. I thought I saved some of the first starter ( standard practice ) but it appears I didn’t, or my wife or kids threw it out. The...

I never thought lutra was clean at all the few times I tried it. Not bad beer sure but never super clean like people claim. Certainly didn’t want to brew lagers with it.

Just wait. It’s a great yeast. Bit quirky but definitely worth the wait. I’m future 3726 is very similar in character with no slowing down.

I use my old biab bag in my robobrew when I want to max out the volume. I also bought an extension pipe for double batches, and I find it easier to lift out than the pipe. No difference in efficiency that I’ve noticed.

I’ve done 30% spelt malt with great results, a nice earthy flavour. I think it suits saison. Massive rocky head as well

3726 is a fave yeast of mine. Never had a problem with it.

Bjcp has a style for every known combination of every ingredient known to man, it’ll fit somewhere 🤣

I was sceptical when they first came out but dark and hoppy does work really well I think, surprisingly

Seems like an appropriate Fosters experience haha!

Do you know how many places sell fosters in Australia? None, I haven’t seen it for over 20yrs 😆 and even then it was rubbish if you could find it 😆

When would the mustard go in?

Doing a Koelsh today, just waiting on the yeast to do their thing with the water.

I always saw the drama and stopped reading but recently found some common sense info around it and have just done my first attempt. Looking forward to trying it out.

Saison. Pils and a little wheat ( or 30% malted spelt for something different). Long low temp mash. Wy 3724, or 3726 ( much faster to finish ). Champagne bottles and wait 3 months
