A blended sour with Kumquats took first in european sours as a fruit lambic and a Cherry Berliner Weisse with Mahlab spice took 3rd in fruit beer as a fruit and spice beer.

Philly is posted. I have two going! Woooooo!

Would there be any interest in a group bottle buy? I am specifically looking to pickup a lot of heavy duty 750ml and 375ml champagne bottles for around 40 gallons of mixed culture blends I will be bottling soon. Anyone have experience in a bulk bottle buy have tips or vendors they have used...

This is almost exactly what I was just thinking. Anyone every try this? It would be great to have a TC fitting on the lid for pressure transfers, dry hop, blow off, etc. Anyone have a measurement on the bung hole? I was thinking this piece might work...

I have a few pounds. They are quite old at this point. Very herbal/cheesy smelling last I opened some. I am using them in mixed culture/spontaneous batches as an alt to aged hops.

Just adding to the the discussion of mash temp fluctuation. I made a 3 layer reflectix jacket (no air gap) and a 1 layer lid that pretty much covers the entire unit down to the top of the controller. While temp on the controller dropped a few degrees during the mash (it did overshoot initially)...

Thanks for the info! Looks like my "pre-order" went pretty quick because it is out for delivery as of this morning! Looking forward to getting started with the M&B.

Well I took the plunge a pre-ordered one. Not sure how long it will take to receive. I still would like to know some more specific measurements of the kettle & mash pipe if anyone has that info to share. Still thinking about recirc options and potential bottom screen to help with keeping grain...

Anyone have inner diameter measurements for the inside of the pot and also the inside of the malt pipe? Looking to maybe use the ss brewtech mash manifold for recirc/sparge but not sure if it will fit in at 12.6" diameter. Also want to make sure my immersion chiller would fit in the pot.

Any idea if an alternative like dried apricots would work?

Where are you guys sourcing golden raisins that don't have sulfites? Can't find any. Even the Trader Joe's brand has Sulfer Dioxide.

Resurrecting this thread for 2017 as I am using it to brew my first batch. Holy cow is it a lot of work picking petals! Hope it's worth it!

Thanks for this info! One more question. Even though you let yours sit for an extended amount of time, how long do you think it actually took FW#2 to reach terminal gravity?

Don't fear the termcap! I had the same fears and dealt with multiple step starters and yeast gunk all over my counter. Stupid. I have been using Fermcap on all my starters for a while now and haven't had a single issue. Give it a go. You will kick yourself for not trying it earlier. Also, I...

Digging this one up. Did you ever sell this? I am in the are and would be interested. Let me know.

Yeah I was thinking about going for the Vintners Harvest Puree found in most home-brew shops. How are the oregon brand cans? I see them in my supermarket. I wouldn't mind it being thin if I could just give it some sour/funk character. Would it be worth a fresh pitch of some bugs or dregs as well?

So my first foray into sour brewing is just about 2 years old and I am at a crossroads. It is the Northern Brewer Oud Bruin de Tabla extract kit. I pitched Roeselare in primary and transferred to secondary (probably a mistake) after a couple of weeks. Checked in on it twice. After not much...

This is the first beer I ever brewed and we continue to brew it every year. It is pumpkin pie in a glass. I already brewed mine two weeks ago. Brew it now and it will be tasting great around halloween! Murray's Pumpkin Brown Ale Style: Spice, Herb, or Vegetable Beer OG: 1.080 Type: Extract FG...

Any ideas?
