That is a brilliant fn idea! I've lost a ton of stickers to dieing fridges!

And a brew in my belly! Belgian NEIPA? French Brux Trois IPA? Hoppy Saison brewed with French Saison and Saccharomyces Bruxellensis Trois using Falconer's Flight 7 C's and YHC CryoHops Citra

Two butts in the brine!

Watch the temps. It will ramp up on its own, probably into the upper 60s. I'd pay more attention to temp and krausen but I don't like checking gravity. Seems like a needless risk of infection unless you have a sanitary way to grab a sample

How cold? The fermentation is going to produce a lot of heat (exothermic) so unless it's in the 50s I'd be comfortable letting it ride until it slowed down, then add heat to keep it up and slowly drive it up. What's your planned upper limit?

You're fine at that temp. And I'd let it free rise until you see the temps and fermentation start to drop, then start ramping it up to dry out.

I just talked to the president of our homebrew club and he said they just tapped a beer they made with a culture they've been building up for a couple of years from a Crooked Stave Nightmare on Brett brew. He's also a microbiologist, so he's a great resource. And he said I can have some of that...

Bueller. Bueller. Bueller...

Hadn't thought about ropiness from pedio, thanks for the reminder! There are obviously a lot of ways to approach this but I'm curious as to everyone's opinions re: fermentation process and vessel. Here's what I can think of, please add anything I might have missed and tell me what methods you...

Since I use Speidel fermenters for all my clean beers I have 5 or 6 carboys and I'm barrel hunting. This is already out of control, just ask my wife!

Oh, and for anyone else trying to figure out a good way to ship/ store (at least for a little while) yeast or bugs. You can get Nalgene bottles like this Nalgene Wide Mouth Square Storage Bottle (2-Ounce) https://www.amazon.com/dp/B001OPJLGY/?tag=skimlinks_replacement-20 but way cheaper at REI...

PM sent. This is why I love this place!

Especially since I checked Love2Brew and it would cost more in shipping than to buy the yeast for a whopping $25 for one ECY bottle! Wow!

Wow, that would be awesome! I live on the Western Slope of Colorado

So no bacteria other than than lacto from the probiotics? How would you describe the flavors you get from the base beer? I imagine you can get some good tartness and acidity and then the brett adds complexity. One of Mary's (and my) favorites from Crooked Stave this go round was Member Berries...

This is me (the ugly one [emoji12]), my buddy Michael, and his lovely wife Mary at Crooked Stave in Denver. I just met Mary today and found out they already eloped to the courthouse! Mary is a wonderful and beautiful person and I'm thrilled he found a great friend and partner, he deserves it...

Have you been to the doctor to have that checked out? [emoji87] [emoji86] [emoji85] [emoji12] I won't say you'll like it, but it's VERY different and weird and wonderful. Give it a couple of episodes and if it's not for you, cest la vie!

Have you checked out the show on BBC? I like it but not what I imagined while reading the books. The Long, Dark, Tea-Time of the Soul is also a Dirk Gently book

Very true, they're cheap! But I'll upgrade the wiring and make sure I use spade connectors or solder
