I’ve got around 16 batches under my belt and I still stress about my yeast not taking off , never have had it happen but I worry myself way to much over it . Waiting on some Wlp029 to get started on my Gose as we speak.

+10 gallons of Gose = 1951

Well it’s been 40 hours so I tasted it , it’s pleasantly tart , and it tastes good and clean . It has a smell, not unpleasant, much like raw squash and raw dough . I’m chilling to 58 now and will pith my other yeasts as soon as it hits temp Edit , it’s raw pumpkin I’m smelling and tasting . I...

Opps , is there any negative to what I did other than wasted money ? It seems to smell good

I didn’t have time for a starter but had 2 fresh containers of Swanson’s tablets I figured both pitched into the wort should sour up pretty good as it’s almost the same tablet to liter of starter ratio people use . That pic is a pic of a 6.5 gal carboy. Does lacto usually multiply like this ?

I have two :( both were empty lol

so there i was , brewing a Gose. This will be quick , even quicker than I anticipated due to my short sightedness . My wort was 1.036 . I was pretty happy as this was made from raw wheat from the family farm. Was going to boil 30 min to get to 1.042 . I was mistaken . Temp got to 196 and the...

Brewing it now , wish me luck !

Is it ok if it’s 3 pints ?

I haven’t had an issue with their caps . I’ve used several hundred of them no complaints so far.

Ehh , I’m off for a week , I guess a 3rd beer wouldn’t kill me

one more

Finally carbonated

I’ve heard of this before , one of the podcasts covered it quite a while back don’t remember which one , supposed to work really well

I put them in plastic bags and label them , then put the bags in a plastic bucket with a lid for storage
