Had some success souring a 15 IBU wort with a starter from my solera. Lots of different Gueuze dregs. Its not in your face but mildly acidic. Complex flavour and you get to drink the Gueuze. I am going to play about with the culture some more. Also works well with just a dry hop or a tea. Goes...

I wet mine and dip in brewers sugar. The friction stops then popping out. Either that or parcel tape.

I never got on with my manifold so I installed John guest splitters with a shut off valve on each line. Replied to wrong thread somehow lol.

Off topic but if you like onions I have done this a few times. Bring to boil equal amounts of vinegar and stout. Add salt sugar and pepper corns and pour in a jar onto sliced onions. Leave to cool, refrigerata and eat. Don't last long. I would say the Korean chilli flakes are essential for...

Sliced onions fermented in brine are wonderful.

Drinking a lager pressure fermented at 18c and it tastes like anything I have fermented at half the temperature to me. Quite incredible., Drinking and clear after 17 days instead of my normal 28. Have to read this thread again when I get time. Cheers

Not tried it yet. Really like mittlefruh though. Have to give hersbrucker a go.

Not used it yet but just bought a kegland meter for about £30. New probes also available. Seems pretty sturdy.

Thank-you. That explains why some of my vinegar went watery. Very interesting.

Thanks for the replies. I had had a few when i posted this and realised i had already binned it so problem solved. :). I am going to attempt another strong beer so i will zest some oranges. Must get a decent utensil, seen some really good ones but for now will have to stick to the peeler. Any...

I only put chloride in a lot of my lagers. 2 or 3g for a 25l batch.

As the title says is old dried orange peel good to use or should i buy new. Probably three years old.

No boil brett sour saison Made a sour Saison that i am really happy with. Been making lots of dark sours so its really nice to brew something lighter again. Dry hopped before Christmas intending to drink then but ended up leaving it on the hops for 10 weeks in the garage. No grassy flavours...

This is a starter i made with 500ml of beer from my solera. Has a bit of everything in there. Last addition was some Kernel foeder beer dregs.

I put the probe in a small bottle of water so the fridge doesn't turn on if I need to open it. Don't have fans and set the delay for about 5;minutes.

I toast raw nibs at 100c for 15 minutes. Same with coconut but it takes longer to brown and will need stirring.

I used this yeast with brett and lacto. Going to keg/bottle in the next few days. Fingers crossed it's gonna be good. Its about 4 months old now.

Amoreti coconut cream is good stuff. I used some with 700g of toasted coconut and 150g of raw nibs toasted for 15 minutes. Amoreti stuff is pretty awesome in ice cream too.

I always say if its after or before 9am your good to go. Cheers my fellow drinkers.

I see now what your saying now. You inject it into the dip tube, suck a bit of beer up to dilute it then push it back down the dip tube with co2. Then shake. I will do this next batch for sure. I havent had a rice lager for a while and forgotten how much i enjoy them.
