Here are the dried cherries I use. They have no added oil or sugar. They work great.

The other thing to consider. What did you plan on for FG? The reason I ask is that most brew software way underestimates FG. So it may suggest that it would finish at 1.008, when more often than not it will finish well below that, giving you a much higher ABV. Most of my saisons finish in the...

+1=2225 Did not realize it was broken. Dropped it into my test jar to get a fg reading, went straight to the bottom. Luckily I always keep a spare. Not too bad only second one broken in over 350 brews.

I don't have a clue where that is, but it is an amazing pic.

I'll pass on the bass, The blue gill mmmmmm. Morrells. double mmmmmm I moved to the East Coast and miss those spring rituals. My Michigan ritual , I used to do Brook trout, morrels and wild asparagass my favorite spring meal.

Hey Revvy.. good to see you back. It has been a while. Listen to Revvy. Bottling should take no more than an hour. With clean bottles I usually bottle when I Brew and it is more like 30-35 minutes.

Altai Mountains, Siberia.

I went to Ireland a few years ago also. Links courses are so much fun. Different golf than we are used to here. My favorie course over there that I played was Lahinch. Awesome. Took a caddy and he had me hit shots that I would have never thought of. amazing.

Look at my screen name.... I play 4 days a week in the summer. (mid May to September) Rest of the year, weather permitting probably 1-2 times a week. Amazing game. Usually shoot around 80. Personal best a few times 74. My goal is to shoot even par sometime. I am close to putting it all...

That is a great price. Thanks for the link. I may pick up another one. I use mine constantly for both brewing and cooking. With grilling and smoking season starting having a spare may be a good idea.

Belle Saison is a pretty temperature tolerant yeast. If you are using heat to keep the temp up, you would be fine to just let it clean up at room temp. If you are at 1.005, I would not be surprised to see it drop down a few more points. Belle Sasion is a beast like 3711 and will always finish...

It really does not make too much of a difference. If you do add it to the boil, just make sure to make a proper sized, healthy starter and aerate the wort very well. If it is a really high gravity beer, adding it a few days into fermentation can be helpful in trying to get the beer to finish...

Not mine, but the coolest one I have seen https://www.homebrewtalk.com/showthread.php?t=365850

Let me know if you think this brew is done yet... https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=4jzT_KTTZ0Q

How do you know they are low alcohol. I can give you a 9% Belgina tripel that definitely does not taste like a 9% beer. The only way to tell is to get gravity readings( with a hydrometer) before fermentation (OG) and after fermentation is complete. (FG). Then you can use the formula. (OG-FG) x...

I do not drink super cold beer. My beer fridge is set at 45 degrees.

There is no need to complicate it. Somewhere in the 1.25 Q per pound will work. A little higher or a little lower will work. No need t get super stressed about it. Then after the mash, just measure how much run off you got. I do like puddlethumper does, using a measured stick to measure the...

Kettle sours beers are decent, but lack complexity. Brewing sours is actually very easy. They just take a long time. Get a pipeline going and it is very easy Just get a recipe and boil it up. Add a pack Roselare blend. Now the first generation of Roselare is pretty tame, but the best thing to...

Centennial and Chinook make a great combo. I really like this combo in a Rye IPA.

Another vote for fermentation temp control. It is the best way to improve the quality of your brews. If you are not making starters now, that is another thing to look into.
