I wasn't sure if I could mix different ale yeast strains. So I went with the safe route , lbs recommended the wine yeast, but the flip side i rarely use dry yeasts. So my experience is a little light.

Long story short. On 1/25 I brewed a saison and used wyeast 3724 Belgian saison. Pitched at 68f and had no activity for a few days. Slow fermentation and lead to becoming stuck at 1.042 after 10 days, raised carboy temp to 85 and it continue down to 1.035, and now is seeming like it's stuck...

I've only had this flavor from doing this specific batch. Everything else has been fine. And I don't do anything to my water. Mainly because I haven't had a problem Sent from my iPhone using Home Brew

All grain, and I've been using my local water which has been pretty good for the past half dozen batches. Sent from my iPhone using Home Brew

So this is my second attempt at a bells two hearted clone, used the beer smith recipe and nailed all my targets. I have this nasty medicinal taste, just like the first time I brewed it using a northern brewer kit. I've done 6 batches between with absolutely no faults or off flavors. What the...

Oh yeah the picture looks off, the burner is on the lower tier, will be transferred to the top to heat mash/sparge water. And then transferred to the bottom to boil. Top pot sits about 8in higher. Sent from my iPhone using Home Brew

Yeah last three batches have been spot on for OG and volume. This is the first that's been low... Makes sense now. Sent from my iPhone using Home Brew

So I did a saison today, and misread the beersmith recipe which called for 1lb of table sugar as a "mash addition". So I added it during mash, cause that what it said... But when my timer went off and I set it to "boil mode" it instructed me to add the sugar... My og was a hair low (called for...

I'm thinking 2 row and saaz? Sent from my iPhone using Home Brew

My kegerator is set up for two cornys, but I have yet to have one corny make it to the point where I can have a second in there, keep drinking them too fast! So I had a thought, could I do a simple base recipe, use two different yeasts and possibly dry hop to achieve two beers in a 10gallon...

But the flavor was not In the bottled beer. That was bottled off the keg. Just being anxious? Sent from my iPhone using Home Brew

Update! So, I let the keg sit and kept sampling every couple days. Has improved but not 100%. Prior to all this I filled a couple grolsch bottles off the tap and stored them in the back of the fridge. Fast forward two weeks or so, that bottle tasted completely different then the beer out of the...

im more so confused, SWMBO's father went from brewing to kegs in 3 weeks, carb'd and it was delicious! whats the difference?

i thought the motto was dont fear the foam? so its likely that my beer is just green?

All seals on the kegs have been replaced and sanitized before use. all hardware and lines are new, and were sanitized before use. I did not use campden tablets. Didnt know of their existence until lately.
