I brewed a Gose in August that turned out too salty for my taste. I decided to let it ferment a few months and see if the additional acidity would further balance the perceived saltiness. Five and a half months later, the salinity doesn't dominate as much, but I still find it a bit unpleasant...

I got dregs from two bottles of Bam Biere. Pretty sure they were both around 6-9 months old. Not the freshest, but... In this case I made a starter with the dregs. That being said, I would advise against the starter because the different bugs require different amounts of oxygen and can grow...

I brewed a Bam Biere clone in August, fermented with Bam Biere dregs. I split the batch into 2 three gallon carboys. I bottled one today with a FG of 1.004. It was extremely sour! The other I racked onto a couple pounds of paw paw fruit. Fermented with the fruit for about two weeks- paw paw is...

Good advice, indeed. I haven't taken a gravity sample in a few months. Going to do so soon and see how the beer is doing. Perhaps a dryer beer with a more lactic bite will favor the salinity more so than how the younger beer tasted in october. If I were to blend it, would you recommend...

Tomorrow I am harvesting my Chinook hops. I have to wait until night time for a screen to arrived for my drying table. Do you think there would be a problem if I harvested them in the early afternoon but didn't start drying them until the evening? The lag time would be around around 7 hours I...
