Comp feedback can get - well subjective. You win some and you lose some. I've had good feedback and I've had feedback that was utter useless garbage (basically you can tell the style is not the judge's cup of tea). I really only heed the constructive feedback - where it seems the judge...

you can try a local distillery - well AZ - a winery for neutral barrels or barrels they are parting with.

Yea my Brother-in-law has always had cilantro taste like soap. He welcomed me to the club. not the end of the world and definitely a situation I would rather have than some others.

lost my taste/smell from august until early December when it started coming back - Roughly 85% normal now - raw hops still do not smell anything like they did prior to COVID. C hops are really muted and all beer smells really yeasty to me. proceeded to drink all of the beer in my fridge that...

totally on my radar with All the Bretts (: I just know my friends and Id be stuck increasing my beer gut drinking that entire keg myself haha

You can ferment Voss Kveik Hot for more orangish-marmalade. If you're not using Lacto bugs, you can hop to assist with your citrus/pineapple. Bretty can go funky barnyard.

I mashed 154. I also ferment closed. Open fermenter you can get wild inoculation and YMMV. Currently i have the same grain bill for both Omega Sour Cherry Funk and Imperial Sour Batch Kidz. Not impressed with Sour Batch Kidz so far after about 1 month of sitting. Not sour and bland. Sour...

GB150 - Sour Cherry Funk + OLY 218 All the Bretts GB150 on 33% white wheat, 33% Pils, 33% Flake Wheat - cherry sour to a T with only malt. OLY218 will give you that funk. Mash high to give your Brett some food. age long and Brett will continue to get weird eating all the dead yeast and...

I use Styrian for porters and stouts with great results - major fan of it with WLP026. I have used it as both main bittering and/opr aroma. EKG I use typically 30 min or less in the boil for bitters. EKG seems much more floral vs earthy I get from Styrians YMMV

Attempting to Post sour with Voss. I used the below probiotic after primary and after 48 hours, barely a hint of sour. Pitched 2 (opened and dumped) in capsules 1. Any opinions on this probiotic with L.P? 2. Would it help to make a larger starter with this probiotic and pitch back into the...

Same - Cereal Killer does exactly what its name implies. have hundreds of lbs through mine

Nice Glass - Lived right over the hill from their original brewery in SC!

Sipping on a fresh Rye IPA - Cascade & Columbus - my first spin with Lutra Kveik

More like re-planting but - year two for Comet and Cascade! First few shoots are starting. Have 3 of each! Cascade Comet

I 2nd a Cereal Kill + motor or use a drill. Crushes like a boss, cheap and cant be killed. I have a few hundred lbs of grain through mine with a $12 harbor freight drill. save money and buy something else shiny!

Used Bar-keepers Friend - works great as well with a scrub pad.

starsan will not hurt you - it's safe. I cant keep my aussie out the bucket when I mix up. She's still alive and a velociraptor....

@inkbird Hey Inkbird, any update on this?

protein coagulation. only way to find out is to siphon to a fermentor, pitch yeast, close it up and let it rock :rock:

I actually converted all of my 5g ball locks to fermentors. I bent the dip tube about 1" off the bottom of the keg and use a SS braided line as a filter pinched off over the dip tube. Spunding valves relieve pressure. I serve straight from these. Burst carb 30 PSI for 24 hours at serving temp...
