    Stone Xocoveza Mocha Stout

    Bumping because I'm about to brew my annual batch. Absolutely delicious beer to have around for the holidays. This year, I'm going to make it a bit bigger... maybe 9.25% or so.

    LALBREW® VOSS KVEIK ALE YEAST

    To be clear, it went up about as expected due to the increase in gravity from the added sugar. I was originally expecting it to drop back down to where it was before the sugar addition. Both of your explanations are probably correct. Ethanol is less dense than water so it makes sense that it...

    LALBREW® VOSS KVEIK ALE YEAST

    So, I couldn't leave my RIS alone and decided to add 0.45kg (1 lb) of table sugar after it reached terminal velocity at 1.026. I heated the sugar with just enough water to cover for about 1 hour, possibly inverted, til it turned a nice toffee color and flavor. At the end of the heating process...

    LALBREW® VOSS KVEIK ALE YEAST

    Where I live, we get annual floods and typhoons. I can totally relate to this.

    GOOD on Netflix STREAMING?

    I watched the new season of this too. It's decent. Definitely entertaining and worth a watch. Not my favorite show though.

    Any Lallemand Philly Sour feedback or experience to share?

    I used 27g of yeast for this one, so basically 2.5 packets. I've always had success pitching two packets/5 gallons of standard gravity wort. This one was a little higher gravity so I pitched a bit more. I'd probably do it the same again next time.

    Any Lallemand Philly Sour feedback or experience to share?

    The sugar cane juice sour has cleared up nicely (now that it is almost gone). I used a lot of wheat and some Vienna malt in this one hoping to give it some interesting character to compliment the sugar cane juice. I'm quite happy with how it turned out. Very sour, but pleasantly so. Nice body...

    GOOD on Netflix STREAMING?

    I've watched a few shows since the last time I posted here. Squid Game was pretty solid. Maid. Holy sh*t. That one was really good but painful to watch.

    This is exactly the information I was looking for. Thanks so much!

    LALBREW® VOSS KVEIK ALE YEAST

    Don't tempt me! I have enough trouble doing any base beers as is. The original recipe (Jackie O's clone) called for Belgian candi syrup and walnuts. I might have to start tinkering :) On a slightly different note, how long should I let this sit in primary before kegging and conditioning in the...

    LALBREW® VOSS KVEIK ALE YEAST

    I brewed my Russian Imperial stout 5 days ago. Mashed between 145-147F (63-64C) for 90 minutes. I pitched one pack, fermented at about 75F (24C), let it rise up to about 85F (29C) and it appears to have reached terminal gravity. OG 1.095 FG 1.026 (apparent attenuation 72.6%) Once it got going...

    Any Lallemand Philly Sour feedback or experience to share?

    Looks delicious! I've fruited a couple of beers with this and it always turns out nice, especially with raspberry.

    What I did for beer today

    Hooked my keg up to the faucet after a nearly one year break from brewing. Nice to be back at it!
