Hi all. I wonder how to proceed if I wish to blend two different beers. Should I just mix them just before the priming and bottling ? Should I mix them and then let them rest in a fermenter for a while ? Any ideas ? The project would be to blend a Gose and a Belgian Blond.

Hi all. I wish to do a clean tasting IPA (for example). My beers have well improved since my first batches. But still I get a strong yeast flavor going a bit bitter on the end. That doesn't really bother me in my Belgian style ales, although I would prefer them to have a better aftertaste. I...

Hi all. I have a Braumeister and I really enjoy it but I can only brew max 15kg of grains for a 50l batch. That gives me max 1,060. I heard that there is a way to brew for example a RIS in that thing. Double Mash. These are rumors because I can't find anything well documented on this. My...

I use dry yeast most of the time. I used liquid yeast with a activator in it without doing the starter and it worked OK but had to use 4 of those packs. I wish to do a real yeast starter for 13gal batch and all I find are tips for small batches. Would you mind giving me some tip or...

Hi all. I wish to brew a Flanders Red and age it in oak barrels. I was thinking brewing a red ale and pitch it with Brett and lactic bacteria and leave it for 6 months in an oak barrel. Anyone had any experiance with it. Can this be any good ? Will I have to blend it with a sweet beer ...

Hi all. Since I do AG I get a very unpleasent taste and aroma in my beers. The this smells and tastes a bit like sulfur. I'm getting discouraged since my LME/DME batches are really good. I wonder what I do wrong. First I tough it might be DMS but I do whatever it takes to avoid it and I...

Hi all. My first brew with Braumeister was all about DMS. I did all the errors possible : covert the brew kettle, boiling 80 min only and a bit longer cooling. This time I did 110 min of boiling with an open brew kettle. I sense the same corn, in lower intensity. It's still a first day...

I have issues with my beer ending to have a diacetyl smell. My first batch ever, fermented with US-05 was turning ok until I bottle conditioned it in a very cold temperature. Primary fermentation - 2 weeks Secondary - 2 weeks Second batch was a Saison that came out fine. Primary - 3...

I finnaly got to try my first brew. It's a brown colored double IPA like. Used US-05. 2 weeks fermenting and 2 weeks secondary. Now it is 2 weeks after bottling. The head is great. The carbonation is weak. The taste is red fruits and tart. But I worry that the tart notes are a bit going...
