Hello, this is the 2nd time I’ve used this yeast and the first time I had the infamous stall and pitched 3711 to finish it off. This time around I’m aiming to finish completely with 3724 Note: I used 7.5 lbs pilsen DME, and 1.25 lbs dextrose) OG: 1.072 Pitched 2 packs (made a starter 24 hours...

Last year we tried a Belgian tripel extract recipe but it called for mostly LME, which we believe was the cause of our brew coming out much darker than expected (it looked more like a dubbel). So this time around we're thinking of trying all DME as well as adding dextrose to the recipe. This is...

Hello, I'm having some trouble brewing this extract recipe kit: https://www.northernbrewer.com/products/saison-de-noel-limited-edition-extract-kit This is not my first time brewing this kit. The first time (also my first ever homebrew) we used wyeast 3711, and after 2 weeks our gravity reading...

Hello, I'm brewing a Belgian quad using wyeast 3787 and its now reached FG at 1.018 (OG was 1.091) so its roughly 9.6%. Now we're 9 weeks out from brew day so I'm planning on adding yeast for bottling as its likely the Belgian yeast has gone dormant. My local home brew shop says they only have...

Hello, I'm currently brewing Northern Brewer's Northy 12 extract kit and after reading the instructions they call for a secondary fermentation of 3 months. My main concern after reading some reviews is this length of time has caused some people's bottled beers to not carbonate fully (or at all)...

Hello, I'm currently brewing a saison using wyeast 3724, and as many of you know its a very finicky strain of yeast. I've been using heat wraps to keep the temp at around 93 F but its been very hard to gauge just how close we are to it being done, because there has been a layer of krausen...

Hello, we're thinking of brewing an extract saison and planned on using the wyeast 3724 strain. Our last brew was a tripel which although tasty had a higher final gravity then we'd like (we used the wyeast 3787 for that one). After doing further research on the 3724 strain it seems like it also...

I recently brewed northern brewer's tripel extract recipe. It tastes much more like a dubbel than a tripel and I'm trying to figure out why. I have a few ideas though, our fermentation stalled a little bit with a FG of 1.020 (OG 1.074) which was likely caused from bad yeast choice (wyeast 3787...

Hello, I recently have been brewing a triple: https://www.northernbrewer.com/products/belgian-tripel-extract-kit. Brewing day was around 5 weeks ago. I used the wyeast 3787 with an OG of 1.072. Today I moved it to a secondary and took a FG reading of just 1.020 which is a bit high. Now after its...

Hello, I recently started brewing a Belgian Tripel and quickly realized the krausen or foam at the top of the fermenter was going to spill over my carboy. So I quickly went out and got a blow off tube, filled a bucket with water and starsan and taped the end of the blowoff tube to the bottom of...

Hello, I'm brewing northern brewer's tripel extract kit Belgian Tripel Extract Beer Recipe Kit. I'm using the wyeast 3787 and created a yeast starter the day prior to brewing. The yeast starter had tons of activity, and it was constantly bubbling over for the first 12 hours. The last 12 hours it...

I finally tasted my first home brew using this starter kit: Saison de Noel Extract Beer Recipe Kit It only called for 1 oz of magnum hops which I assume is a quite small amount of hops. The beer smells fantastic, classic Belgian dark fruit yeasty smelling beer. The taste follows the scent and...

Sorry if the image is a bit big, I compressed it down and its still massive lol FYI this is my first home brew ever so I’m very new to this. Also I now know it’s not recommended to bottle condition on the bottles side. We did use a secondary fermenter and it came out quite clean, so I’m shocked...

Hello, I'm about to start bottling my first ever homebrew, and am brewing a Belgian style dark saison. I thought it would be fitting to prime the bottles with Belgian candy sugar, and on northern brewer's website they have a nice calculator that says how much to use. Homebrew Priming Sugar...

Hello, I recently got into homebrewing and am just about ready to bottle my first homebrew. I used the following kit: https://www.northernbrewer.com/products/saison-de-noel-limited-edition-extract-kit Starting gravity came in at 1.070 and the Final gravity reading right before transferring...
