Shelton Brothers closing has had an impact on availability and sadly Ommegang isn’t brewing Belgian-styles anymore. I’ve brewed them for many years and am about to bottle a Blonde based off of St...

    Will kveik continue to evolve outside of Norway?

    Was wondering if you think that kveik will continue to evolve outside of Norway? Seems that the homebrew community around the world and some yeast labs have taken a serious liking to kveik. From what I read in Lars’ book, the reason kveik evolved so well over the years was it was hand selected...

    Can someone explain the lack of head retention in alot of modern craft?

    As I peruse photos from newer craft breweries via social media I am always struck by the lack of head retention some of the beers have.

    Naturally Carbing a lager in keg

    So I have a lager that I was to naturally carb in the keg by adding priming sugar (didn't save any wort). I fermented this thing around 56 degrees in my basement. Should I carb the beer in the keg at the same temp or bring it up closer to 68 degrees and carb at that temp? I've only done this...
