For some reason I thought 3538 was dubbel. But I suppose they could use the same strain. Guess there's only one way to find out, harvest, brew, and compare with 3538(that is to say that they are bottle conditioning with the same strain). And it seems like I have started getting some...

I'm trying to harvest some strains from commercial brews. I got westmalle, and a corsendonk agnus tripel. Boiled 1/2 cup DME per 2qt water. ( about 1.040 SG ) Let cool around 76 degrees. dumbed dregs from each kind into the 2 different jars. Westmalle kicking off nicely, The westmalle...

Batch involved partial mash and I had added a honey/ coconut/ almond mixture to primary. It sat 4 week primary, transferred secondary 3 week, went to dry hop @ week 4 secondary. I noticed what looked like spot of mold floating with krausen, has about 10% abv but extremely alcoholic/hot... All I...

What changes to hop schedule would you recommend if one didn't want it as hoppy? Also what was O.G and F.G Sent from my iPhone using Home Brew

I'm using wlp575 now on a belgian abbey kit, with 2lb extra belgian candi sugar, that I got from my LHBS. Did not use starter, saw airlock activity the next morning ( 16 hour ),and have had solid airlock activity for nine straight days, fermenting around 74 degrees. Hoping it comes out good...

I was just keeping in mind the alcohol tolerance of the yeast . On the wlp575 it has medium-high , I I was considering a yeast strain that has high tolerance, and possibly for flavor purposes too. For instance gulden drakk uses a super yeast (wlp090 or similar )although I doubt my brew will be...

So I got a Belgian abbey ale kit from my local HB shop, I told the owner I wanted to go for a trippel. He sold me an additional 2lb of belgian candi sugar (dark), which was added last 10min of boil. I bought some crappy red stripe 12pks ( because they were like10.99) and the little grenade...

My brew pot was almost at boil point, so I opened my warned liquid malt extract getting it ready to pour, then thought I should give the boil a few more minutes, while setting the liquid malt tub back down in sink, it tipped over and I lost about 1/4 of the tub. I'm doing a pilsner, what are...

Omg did I ruin my batch? I don't know what came over me. I was brewing a black IPA and right about flameout I grabed some ambrosia 100% colorado honey and poured some in my batch. Will the yeast eat it all up? I hope so because I'm not too sure I want honey notes in my black IPA , it wasn't...

Does longer time in bottle improve clarity / flavor for all beer? Or just certain types ? Sent from my iPhone using Home Brew

I just made my first batch ( bsg saison kit) and I bottled after 6 days, the SG was at intended range ( 1.010, and instructions said 3-7 days). It's not clear at all, perhaps more time will help. I tasted it and it was good just flat and smells good. But my question is; does longer bottle...
