    Tamarind brett saison

    This beer ended up being blended to a sour beer. No where near enough tamarind to serve justice hardly noticeable unless your refined pallet is searching for it.. Next time i will use tamarind paste.i would not use the above recipe again with only saison yeast. at least not 3711, although maybe...

    Tequila inspired ale

    I haven't had it in a couple of years but Fortuna from Avery Brewing Company is one of my favorite sours. not that this will taste anything like it but it's probably what inspired me to brew it. As long as it doesn't taste bad the clean beer at 10%+ will be gone quick, even if just for the...

    Tequila inspired ale

    pulled kegs for souring today and dry hopped. Fat dragon you were right it attenuated to 1.008 its 10.11% ABV. + the bottle of mezcal I am very pleased with this beer. very pleasant feedback from the warm no crab samples handed out. After pulling the two 7 gallon platic kegs i added an...

    just threw togther something weird...

    i would never pour boiling water into cold glass. i waited for it to cool a bit after i boiled it... anyway i really wanted to talk about rice syrup solids and shanghai yeast balls but i guess thats not the interesting part of my post. I have never seen anything about no boil with rice syrup...

    just threw togther something weird...

    word?i put hot water in glass every week. i routinely clean my carboys with water over 160F with PBW. What temp do you use? brewing aside i pressure cook ball jars all the time. 250F+ at 15 PSI. not only did i put hot water in a jug i shook it around for like an hour. Is that bad?

    Blue beer: lets beat this dead horse

    if i go the nitro rout i can add a decent amount of corn to the recipe lowering the srm even further. What alkaline adjuncts would work well in a cream ale?

    Blue beer: lets beat this dead horse

    It would be cool to see if (dry)hops alone will change the acid enough to change the color. I should have my clitoria in a few days and will do some experiments before using them in a beer. but as far as the beer goes im going to brew this recipe 35.5% white wheat 23.5% rice syrup solids 23.5%...

    Tequila inspired ale

    Pulled a sample today, gravity of 1.014 tasted sweet and pleasant. I would say sweet is the main flavor but with a hint of complexity. I would say i do taste the agave as an ingredient. Its a stretch to say it taste like tequila but with 83% attenuation- 9.3% alc your mind(my mind) does...

    Blue beer: lets beat this dead horse

    thank you so much for your response ninjabear. That gives me a lot to take into account. any pictures of close attempts? peas themselves not the flower have a ph from 6-8. maybe some snowpea in secondary could help with color retention.cucumbers are pretty high aswell.I also see on a chart here...

    Tequila inspired ale

    k say my LHBS only had oak chips 4oz-$2 so thats what i got. I decided on mescal and not tequila because i wanted a slightly smokey flavor from the beginning. I bought the cheapest one at the liquor store my options were 33$ 46$ and 55$ so i went with Sombra mezcal for $33. this brings the cost...

    Blue beer: lets beat this dead horse

    I'm not sure what that would test, personally I dont think would do anything except make a magenta-ish nasty flavored drink. im pretty sure the trick here is going to be a combination of adjuncts.
