I know typically lambics mature over years but I just tasted mine after 9 months and I can't possible believe it can get better. Tart with mineral funk like font. Lambics. My fear is it will change over time. I know I'm working on the bugs schedule but I would like it to be stable at this...

was thinking of a similar idea. Trying some Belgian beers to see which would be a good ideal base. Was thinking of strong golden or dark. Had a duvel and feel rye spicy would overwhem the yeast character. Was thinking rare vos with rye maybe? I believe their yeast is similar to 550. If you...

The raspberry ciders I've made were 1# per gallon of cider gives good raspberry flavor still having trouble with bottle best success is pasteurizing after crabbing up enough. Jon

I have a wheat wine and pLambic set for next year. Looking to brew a wee heavy and an imperial red.

Should be able to get something going, but I would make a low gravity start to get things going. Two ideas would be one just ferment with the dregs or add at secondary. Worries would be contamination from the bottles getting a hold with just a ferment from the dregs. Also some of pLambic...

I have a wheat wine that needs to age some is there any benefit to aging in bulk vs bottling and aging? Thanks Jon

Jz has a good base beer brown porter in the brewing classic styles that worked well for me. Coconut rum porter/ v bourbon porter. The brown porter is a sweeter less roasty then porter/ stout.

How long has the beer aged? I had a bitter that was band aid like when it was young. Almost pitched it just needed time to mature.

looking to make an IPA in the near future and would like some suggestions on great hop combinations. was thinking about cascade, amarillo, sorachi for a citusy IPA? thanks for the advice. jon
