Fun fact, Fritz Maytag, the person that saved Anchor Steam the first time, brewed with 5 Star yeast for a period of time. Fascinating interview, and you can listen to the interview here: Master Brewers Podcast - Fritz Maytag

What beer yeast(s) would folks here recommend for bread baking? Some random websites claim Nottingham is a good one and makes the bread smell like oatmeal (in a good way). I have Notty in stock, so will probably try that. I have another 20+ beer yeasties in the library, so checking the...

@Cool_Hand_Luke Condolences on your brother. Dang, I missed this thread the first time around. Any conclusion on the yeast? I'm fine with a higher 1-2% ABV outcome. I bet an oat stout could be fine-tuned for something decent.

Do update once you have brewed and tasted the dark mild. RonP has often stated that US milds may look right, but usually don't taste right because typically use adjunct grains instead of invert. That said, when Ronnie was at Machine House Brewery in Seattle with his two sons, he took a big...

Enjoying a bottle of Samuel Smith India Ale, 5% ABV. implies this is the 1896 recipe done at the Tadcaster Brewery using Yorkshire Squares. I like it, pretty balanced, estery, and a good beer I could drink pints of.

I had chang with Tibetans back in the 1980's. :ban:

I've tried this. Unfortunately, I used Windsor 'cause I had it. I really don't like Windsor. Tainted my results and I quit experimenting quite a while back. I haven't tried with London ESB, which also doesn't ferment maltriose, but I like the London ESB far more than Windsor! I think I'll try...

I have a couple of plants (N Brewer, East Seattle Goldings, Tettnanger and Willamette). This year I was just not feeling it and haven't done anything. The East Seattle Goldings are getting close to harvest. I've posted this before, but my experience after about 10 years is to make a lightly...

NY Times today had a really interesting article on : Luton’s Kenilworth Road… A Premier League stadium like no other Is this a "typical" looking English pub? It looks fantastic! And has anyone on these boards actually been a patron? The ABV's were also interesting: Shine summer ale = 1.7%...

I live near Seattle and have been doing pieces of the Mt. Rainier Wonderland Trail. It's a 94 mile (150km) trail around the solitary active volcano that includes 22,000 feet (6700m) vertical gain during the circumference. If you ain't going up, then you're going down on this alpine trail. There...

Recipe or it didn't happen. ;)

Traditional Mild, according to Ron Pattinson, gets it color and flavor from Invert #3. As in, MO + invert, and generally mild is lightly hopped. However, most folks these days use adjuncts. Here's a link to a most awesome non-traditional mild recipe that comes from Machine House Brewing in...

Been there, done that. I have floating dip tubes now and use a hop ball (tea infusion ball) to keep the pellets from clogging up the system

Lesson learned, double check your White Lab orders. So, WLP038 Manchester was released from the vault. I put in what I thought was an order for WLP038 and WLP705 Sake #7 yeast about a week ago. Got some confirmation emails, shipping notices, yadda yadda yadda. only looked at the header and...

And his Birthday recipes are great: Make your birthday special - by brewing a beer originally made on that date. Had my kid get one for my birthday a few years ago with these directions: I’m looking for a recipe for my dad’s birthday June xx, 19xx. He prefers ABV below 4% yet hoppy beers and...

White Labs has Manchester WLP038 available. It's a yeast strain but have released a limited quantity. IMHO, this is the yeast if you're trying to do a Tony's Boddington's Pre-1970

Machine House in Seattle will close at the current location on June 11. Waiting on permits for the new place and fingers crossed there will be no downtime and be open soon

Machine House will close at the current location on June 11. Waiting on permits for the new place and fingers crossed there will be no downtime.

Sheesh, were those (regional) macro's still in production? Rainier was sold out and ended up with Pabst, who closed the seattle brewery in 1999. So, it was closed when I started going to Seattle in the early 2000's. Machine House is in the old Rainer Malt House, and Elysian Brewery is in...

That's 2.5 hours without traffic, and you're pretty much guaranteed to have traffic. :eek:
