Have RR Supplication and Lost Abbey Red Poppy. Any interest? Sent from my iPhone using Home Brew

Who's all in Puyallup? I'm near downtown and always down for a brew session. Brewing at least monthly on my 10 gal system. Let me know if you guys want to get together. Sent from my iPhone using Home Brew

Thinking about racking a gallon or so of future batches when kegging into a bottling bucket and pitching a smack pack of Brett. Pack them away just to see how they come out. Don't think I'll be able to duplicate this but would be fun to see what happens.

Cleaning out the garage and found an old bomber tucked away in a box of brews from an event last October. Had no idea what it was so I cracked it open Well, it was a gusher so I knew it must have picked something up at bottling since I counter pressure fill. Well it sure did, and somehow it...

As with any starter, either ferment fully crash and decant or pitch while the starter is very active. You want your starter pitching temp and wort temp to be as close as possible. More importantly, with a lager you will need to closely monitor your ferment temps. If you are just trying to...

If this is a recipe you enjoy by all means go for it. I would recommend dropping the carapils though. You want a tripel to finish dry. Not sure what the Chinese rock sugar will contribute. You can use simple table or corn sugar and the difference in your finished product will be minimal if...

If your starter has fully fermented, crash and decant. After you decant, bring your slurry to pitching temp.

I was listening to that episode too and it does sound interesting. Have to agree with bootsy though about the high mash temp to keep it simple and eliminate variables if you run into issues down the road. I've had good success with that. You could always split your batch into two boil kettles...

I use Brew Pal on an iPhone 4

https://www.homebrewtalk.com/f14/top-3-underrated-beers-415302/ After reviewing this thread and drinking some "underrated beers" along side of some highly acclaimed beers, I felt maybe a blind tasting may be in order. Full thread write up to follow. Cheers!:mug:

Looking to conduct a blind test to see if these IPAs are "that good". I know that hype can diminish availability and sometimes these brews can be underwhelming given what some folks will trade for a limited distro brew.

Definitely fast, from grain to glass in under two weeks!

Haha. It's definitely rockin'! I wasn't really worried about the primary yeast as much as the other folks I threw into the party, the pedio, lacto and the Brett. Thought maybe they had worked there way out and was gonna pitch one the krausen fell. I'll definitely let it ride its course...

I figured as much. Thanks!

Yeah, I figured it would take me all day. I hope all the extra time is worth it on this batch. I'll let you know how it turns out next year, when its ready :)

I'll be doing a double decoction version of the Westy 12 clone on Sunday if anybody wants to cruise through. Gonna get started in the morning and be at it into the afternoon. Not sure how long it will take but definitely be at it for a while. Cheers!

Brewed a batch of Supplication clone yesterday and pitched WLP530, 665 and two bottles worth of dregs into the primary. Fermentation started within hours and overnight and today I've lost a few liters' starter worth of yeast from blow off, maybe a little more. I didn't leave a whole lot of...

Been wanting to tackle this for a while and finally knocked out a batch today. This is the recipe I did for a six gal batch: 10 lbs 2 row (71.4%) 2.5 lbs Vienna (17.9%) 1.25 lbs C40 (8.9%) 0.25 lbs Carafa III (1.8%) 60 min mash at 156-158. 1 oz hallertau 5% @ 90 0.5 oz Saaz 4% @ 90 1.5L...

That's why I mash in my boil kettle. With the process I use the only thing that gets contaminated is whatever you are using to take samples to taste. I've got a dedicated glass thief that I use for all my sours so no worries of cross contamination there.
