Hi guys, gonna make this short and sweet. Tried to brew this on Sunday: (Biere de Garde recipe) OG: 1.075 FG: 1.012 IBU: 27 (Noonan) 5 kg pilsnermalt, 3 EBC 1 kg munchenermalt, 25 EBC 300 g crystal malt, 120 EBC 25 g black malt, 1400 EBC 400 g cane sugar 44 g Styrian Goldings, pellets, 5,1 %...

So....I've never done this, but yeast is expensive. Sounds interesting. Does this mean if I brewed an IPA, for example, and just removed the yeast cake after fermentation into a sanitized sealed container, I could store this and use it on another brew ? How would you even know how to calculate...

Thanks man, I'm doing all grain BIAB. I am aiming for a crispy and dry feeling actually, so maybe a pound more of pilsner malt and 200 grams of sugar would do the trick?

Hi, I was just wondering something in general as well as something concrete when it comes to Kölsch brewing. I am not aiming for a perfect Kölsch, I want to make one that is more in the 5,5 to 6,0 % area. Simply because I prefer beers in general when they are around 5,5 and up. The question...

Thanks, I doubt I will age it for 9 months, I don't have that kind of willpower ;)

Thanks for all the advice, probably gonna brew this next week after tasting the selection i ordered. How much is a "light" hand for a typical 5 gallon batch? I was thinking maybe two late hop additions of willammette, 20 grams per addition approx.

I ordered: Comtesse Des Flandres 3 Monts Grande Réserve Jenlain Ambrée - 75cl x2 Jenlain Blonde 75cl Random selection really, just to sample a small selection. Would be interesting to try growing the yeast, though I have limited experience with yeast starters. I also saw this on the...

to be honest, I think I'm gonna go ahead and order anyway ;) This style is fascinating, so I just gotta do it. aaaand I no longer have 50 euros! five bottles on the way, including the ambre that you suggested. thanks for that!

Truer words have never been spoken! Checked the link and did a test order, seems 5 bottles will set me back about 50 euros including shipping. So that's about 10 euros a bottle not to mention the import taxes. Alcohol is highly taxed here in norway

Man that site looks awesome, Wish i lived in France ;)

The problem is that it is not available commercially over here, not a market for it I think, so I'm gonna have to go by lots of research and the fantastic info I get from you guys.

Haha no, not that bad, that would be a bit weird. I was just thinking of adding some willamette @30 and @15 maybe, something like that. Thanks for the mash tips, the recipe I'm using as a base requires a little sugar as well as 25grams of black malt, for color. My wish is just that it becomes...

Yeah, thanks :) I've outlined my ideas, any suggestions are certainly welcome as I have never brewed it before.

Yeah, I know, I know ;) I am definately going for wlp011 in this, and a combination of pilsner malt and dark munchener malt. I plan to use Fuggles hops for bittering (although I know, they are not typical bitter hops). My idea was to add some willamette late in the boil to give it a slighly...

Hi guys, thinking of making one of these traditional french farm house ales. I'm trying a recipe creatred by a local homebrew guru in my country. Is there anyone who's got any kind of experience with this style? I was playing around with the idea of making an India version of it, just looking...
