    What BIAB brewing actually is (Mythbusting for traditionalists)

    I'm new here and that's exactly what I have in mind. I have another hobby that involves fermentation, but I want to brew my own beer, KISS is the right philosophy ... your beer looks great, what recipe did you follow? I'm waiting for some silicon hose, fittings and camlocks. I was born in...

    My adventure in Blending a Gueuze

    @goodolarchie maybe you and some others should carefully read what I wrote, I wrote each blender has their own tradition and method which makes the difference amongst competitors... 33% is just the rough value! Cantillon isn't my favourite, they are known because they opened a kind of a museum...

    SS Convoluted Counterflow Wort Chiller?

    Thank you, my mistake, I skimmed your first reply too fast, and did not get it correctly. I don't know whether I said so, but my mother tongue is French. But now I do understand what you mean, in fact my question does not make sense oops. I'll go for 25' Aeration is also a good idea. In my...

    My adventure in Blending a Gueuze

    Funny, you are challenging someone 1-who lived in that area and got gueuze and kriek in it's cellar for years 2- who worked in that field and got many of those blenders and brewers as customers (who gave me that explanation by the way...) That's the standard method but each blender has got his...

    SS Convoluted Counterflow Wort Chiller?

    @fragged -Thanks for answering the point here is that wire is available as left over from my electric installation I made myself. We live uphill, in de middle of our rubber trees and orchard, 3km away from the next village on solar cells and deep wells... -so it's free so far I'm concerned. I'm...

    Welcome Beginning Brewers!

    I'm figuring out my BIAB set up and I'm ordering parts right now - so far I have some stainless steel pots I use for another hobby which also involves fermentation. I always poor boiling water into my fermenter to pasteurize it, in fact T° is above 100°C because of a higher density... What I...

    SS Convoluted Counterflow Wort Chiller?

    This is indeed the info I was looking for... I have some 40 or 50 feet of 3/8" copper and intend to make a counter flow chiller (I guess this is the CFC...) using a water hose. May I ask you the batch size that you can knock down with such a 25' length? Would it make sense to solder a copper...

    Orval Dregs

    Sorry, my mistake, don't expect me to compete in that field, my mother tongue is French... Can just confirm E.Coli is correct as an abbreviation for Escherichia coli... Here a link to an Orval clone recipe: Recette : Clone de la célèbre bière trappiste belge de l'abbaye d'Orval some of it...

    Thank you! Hopefully Belgian beer but it all will depend upon what kind of malts and hop I can get down here.

    Indeed it is an oxymoron, if you consider all varieties and the new ones that are always increasing in number... While some classical disappeared like Vieux-Temps in Mont Saint Guibert, closed by Interbrew. I visited that brewery with the school where I was a boarder (Basse-Wavre), it was...

    Frankly speaking, I would be very happy to get some palatable stuff at my very first batch which is still to come... I'm ordering some materials right now (quick connectors, hose...) My dream is a clone of Orval, I found recipes but not sure whether the ingredients are available down here.

    bottle caps

    I was just wondering... It's just because one can hardly find those crown caps down here...

    Just bear in mind that at least 30% of the English vocabulary is French... Maybe not so obvious in the States.

    I do not mind... where did I write unpredictable over-attenuation Those people do not make any kind over measurements of whatsoever, they follow a tradition. Over-attenuation by saccharomyces cerevisae var diastaticus will not occur in Lambic, Saccharomyces will not survive in a one year...

    Thank you. I know this and ask my friend Gravity for help.

    It's allright! Thank you for your message. Maes Pils is a high quality beer due to a very clean brewing process, but I prefer(-red-not available here) a Jupiler.
