So I ran hot PBW through my chiller before brewing for 20 minutes and then before finishing the boil, I ran boiling hot work through the chiller for about 10-15 minutes. Chilled worth down and everything just fine. After I ran more pbw through and was cleaning up and noticed stuff coming out the...

I thought so as well....

awesome! Thanks! I seem to remember listening to a Can you Brew it podcast about Dogfish 120 clone and I thought they said they hit it with O2 at least 2-3 times, but it's been a long time! I'll do it again today at least and then if someone else chimes in about any other thoughts. Thanks!

Hi there! I brewed a BIG IRS yesterday with OG at 1.134. I dosed it with a little over a minute with pure o2 with o2 tank and stone and was wondering if I could/If i SHOULD do so again today? I wouldn't be able to do so until about 24ish hour after yeast pitched. I used 3 packets of Safale...

Look forward to brewing this sometime soon!

Has anyone else made the OP recipe? It looks pretty solid although I don't think I would use the 1lb of Lactose right off the bat. I would probably cut that in half and see how that would be first but it could be right on. Anyone have any comments on this recipe?

I kegged this after letting it sit in the carboy for 3 months and primed in the keg. I tasted after 2 weeks and it was sweet and slightly carbonated.... Like the yeast did eat some sugars but not all.... really strange as after 2 weeks the sugars I would have thought would be totally gone...

Anyone have any oak cubes/chips that were used in a dirty dozen batch or anyone willing to inoculate some wood and send it over to me since I doubt I will be able to get anymore of this strain for awhile? If so, please PM me. Thanks!!

Funktown I really enjoyed! I used it in a citra/galaxy hopped combo pale ale and it was fantastic! No funk but really nice!

This was kind of done with some stuff on hand, so here is the recipe: 58% Pils 12% Munich 11% 2-row 7% Rye 5% Wheat Malt 7% sugar IBUs 8-10. I blended this wort that was about 5IBUs with a higher IBU wort so it should be around 8-10 if measurements are correct. Mashed at 156F Saison...

I finally got around to tasting my Farmhouse Sour blend after it's sat for 2 months in my garage at around 68-72 after fermentation finished (fermented at 68, then ramped to 75 by the end and kept there for 2 weeks). It has no sourness at all. It's a good tasting beer, but it's actually kind...

I'll try mine hopefully Friday and get a pH reading then! Mine is about 1.5 months old

If you send in a water sample to white labs (or another lab) to get your water chemistry info so you know what you are dealing with, does it matter if you use RO water or not to build your water profile up? I was told that you could build a better water profile from half RO water and half tap...

What temps are you fermenting this strain at?

How long have most of you that have used this kept it in primary/secondary before bottling/kegging it? I have had mine going since the 5th so alomst 3 weeks. Will it help it much/dry it out much more to keep it in for another few weeks? Have most of you found that it's pretty much done after...

Yes, even brett, say for instance the amalgamation blend from the yeast bay or even just a single brett strain. Anyways, it was more just curiosity and to see what would come of it. I doubted that it would make a crappy horse piss beer taste amazingly good, just maybe a bit interesting~!

Anyone ever try this? Figured it was low IBUs and low abv, not much base beer though... i'm sure people have tried this before. Anyone's thoughts on this? How it has/would turn out?

Won't the bugs go out of wack a bit if you make a starter on this? I plan on making a 5.5g batch with it of probably around a 1.070 OG saison. Thanks!

So far I have 10 gallons going of a 1L starter of Lacto Brevis into each for 4 days at 85F then pitched 1.5L starter of Amalgamation into each and has been sitting for 3 weeks now at around 72F. I'll probably taste it in another couple weeks and see how it goes. I also just ordered their...
