Thats what I was thinking. I kind of want to prime with the malto dextrine that way only the brett is working in the bottle. This is where my problem lies because i do not know how much co2 is created by brett when eating malto dextrine so do I prime as normal like say 3/4 of a cup of malto and...

So im wondering when I should bottle a saison I brewed. The primary yeast was 3711 and that got it down to 1.010 then I pitched in a 1.5 liter starter of brett b which now has the beer down to 1.002 and tasting amazing (kinda like peaches). My question is when do I bottle and not have worry...

I used 28 lbs of two row for a 5 gallon batch of a barley wine and the used the second runnings for a 10 gallon batch of an esb and the esb came out phenomenal. So i would say if your going to do a partigyle you need to do 5 gallon first runnings beer and a 10 gallon second runnings beer and...

Right I see where you are coming from but in that episode jamil wasnt planning on pitching brettanomyces. He was mashing low so the saccromyces could handle the job and dry out the beer. I mashed high to create long chain sugars that the saccromyces cannot handle but the brettanomyces can that...

Thanks for the suggestions everyone. I am planning on mashing at 156. Do you think this will be enough food for the brett and I am going for a farely pronounced brett presence.

Ok, so I am wondering when I should pitch the brett. I have never used wyeast 3711 before but from what I have heard from other people is that it will bring my fg to about 1.003. If it does actually do that I am concerned that the brett will have nothing to eat when I pitch and therefore will...

I got a 12 gallon cooler for 19.99 at dicks sporting goods. Just wait for a sale. id say 40 bucks was expensive for a 10 gallon cooler

Well since I was already planning a trip to Capone's I will most likely go there first and then if Im still looking for stuff I want I will look elsewhere thanks for the recomendations.

Im pretty sure that Sam Adams cherry wheat is pretty widely regarded as one of the worst beers of all time.

By the way does any one in the area know the place that would most likely have anything from Russian River and Bell's in Philly?

Thank you for the offer but I think I have decided to just drive down and then go over into philly and pick up some russian river and bell's beers because we cant get them in Jersey and I am dying to try anything from both of those breweries and Im just going to use the grain pick up as my...

So is there anyone in the central or northern NJ area that is picking up grains on the 27. I am about two hours away from the pick up location and was hoping it was going to be on the weekend but on a wednsday is pretty tough for me. I can get down there if I have to but if there is someone a...

I regularly pay more then 20 dollars for bombers of certain sours from cantillon. I love sour beers mmmmmmm

Count me in for 2xBD-MOPA. PM me or something for the paypal information so i can pay in a timely manner.

I made a barley wine 17 days ago that had an og of 1.125 and is now down 1.042 :drunk:, im hoping it drops some more which im sure it will since there is still very clear signs of fermentation going on i the carboy. gonna rack it onto some oak chip in another two weeks :ban:

I upped the special b to 15% and made all the hop additions a full ounce. This saturday im racking onto 2 ounces of oak chips for a week and then I am bottling it. From what I can see from my hydro sample I nailed the color in a side by side with the special b at 15% so that could be the number...

Yeah I forget sometimes too but I actually replace my braid about every ten brews because they tend to get stretched out and start letting stuff through and its not very expensive to do so why not.

Congrats on the first AG batch. Im pretty sure people like the ss baid so much, including myself, because it is easy to implement and easy to replace every once in a while. I doubt you were doing anything wrong from it sounds you were doing everything right. I just take a pitcher and open the...

Well I lost my sense of smell in an accident 6 years ago and I can still taste impecably well and actually excel in picking up off flavors in my and other people's beer. The doctor's explanation was that when you temporarily lose your sense of smell food will taste flavorless like when your...

I want some pliney so bad I will def take this survey
