Just bottled the rest of a keg of Rum Barrel aged Porter a friend an I brewed last year. We aged it in a small 5 gallon oak barrel that had been used for Rum. Going to plan out some brews, the pipeline is in rough shape.

Don't have access to WHC here in Canada unfortunately.

I've been reading through this thread (it's awesome). Trying to land on a dry yeast for English Styles as I don't have a homebrew shop near me and buying liquid is expensive and inconvenient. I really don't like S04, it has a twang to it that I find off-putting. I see lots of talk about...

Amarillo! How is it these days? Used to be one of my favorite hops, especially paired with Simcoe but I found it got a bit underwhelming for a few years.

Sorry to necro this but you wouldn't happen to have a recipe for this? Looks amazing

Single Decocted Helles today. Have a nice big pitch of Augustiner ready to go.

Awesome, thanks so much Gary. That's helpful, I'm a Brewfather user as well so all good.

My Grainfather needs a spa day badly. Maybe I'll do that this weekend.

Yeah, you are on to something. I tend to brew a lot of WCIPA, and I think I'm a bit burnt out on the style. I'm actually looking forward to brewing some more Porter/Stout and malty styles.

Yes please!

Yeah , so I undersold it a bit. I've made improvements to my process like , closed transfers, pH and water adjustments. I just meant I'm still brewing on the G30. I have thought about RO, and may try that.

Unfortunately I live in a small town with now brew club, and only one other homebrew. I belong to a virtual club, but it's difficult to share beer obviously.

This speaks to me. I've decided to focus on lager brewing as they are some of my favorite styles I'm going to start with Helles and really try and tighten up my process. It will give me a sense of focus which I think will help. @Basspaleale do you have any resources on LODO? I've looked into it...

Great post, thanks. I agree with you on dumping beer, I actually don't feel bad about it. Annoyed? Sure, but life is too short to drink bad beer.

I've been toying with doing smaller batches lately, in order to get out of a brewing funk. I have the V3 G30, did you just copy the equipment profile, and make one for your smaller batch size? Cheers

I'll check out the thread, I love talking about this hobby :) I mean the commercial beer I buy tends to always be what I expect. And it's not that my own beer is bad... it's just not great. And when I have 5 gallons of a meh beer to get through, I often end up dumping half of it. I had...

Background, I've been home brewing since 2007. I've won multiple competition awards, and like to think I can brew pretty good beer. Lately, it feels like I can't brew a beer I'm happy with. I'm not sure if I have a bad case of house mouth or what, but styles I've brewed dozens of times come out...

I mean, Janet's Brown is probably my most brewed recipe. I brew it once or twice a year.

Session American Brown from the Session Beers book. https://share.brewfather.app/D8Kk7K6YVvfXxt

Pretty happy. My first time propping up my frozen yeast and it worked awesome. 6ml of LAIII. I pitched into a 250ml starter to get it going and then used a 1200ml. This pic is only 48 hours after pulling it from the freezer! Thanks @TonyB for the guide.
