If I lived in USA instead of an igloo in Caada I would order one to play with. Shipping across vorder is a turkey I guess from dog sled elivery charges!

I plan to find out using their lab to test results of trying to set up a homebrew method that is a good roadmap. I am also going to see if I can test their commercial yeast for evaluation/taste. This will be my 53 rd year brewing so not my first rodeo!

Thanks for everyone's input. I want to try some new yeast products soon developed my way ( Canada) from Escarpment labs called NAY (ABV=.3%)( maltose-negative yeast for commercial brewers) and it is non-phenolic and non-diastatic. They have HYdra yeast for home brewers ABV + 1.3% They provide...

Great advice above!

I carb my stout taps kegs at 7 psi CO2 and serve at 12-18 psi and get perfect pours at 38 F. To each their own! I get the cascade and it tastes great! Yes I use beer gas 70/30

If I lived closer I would be there from Canada!

and it is a winner!

I live in Ontario Canada. Could you provide more details and can sources. Thanks

I am now ready to keg this recipe again. Number 50 in the keg department so far this year! Killer recipe. I like the Makers Mark idea but don't want to play with such a great beer! !

I brewed this one in 2020 when we had lock down and pubs closed. Hands down a winner! So balanced.... so good. It is on my brew list again. I have made 37 kegs so far since late March. This recipe is worthy of two kegs for sure. A real keeper that should be in a "tried and true" brew category!

If you could take a moment tell me the size of the burner holes. Thanks

This is a solid recipe resulting in many layers of flavours. I will be doing this one again next year.

If you can age this beer it just gets better! I am the one adding honey malt to the recipe. I think I will give the original a go for two kegs and make more notes. It is a keeper and crowd pleaser.

Thanks so much for updating your brewing experiment. We do not see agave in this part of Canada so I perked up when I saw you do this take on enhancing it! It sure has been popular here and will go into at least two or three more kegs this year. Since late March i am on keg 20 for the year so...

Keep us in the loop please!

Sorry to pull your leg. I remember studying about "Eric the Red" who was an explorer when I was in grade three (one room school house) before you were born. This is my 51st year brewing!

Love your sayings. Do you have any issues if I put a few of these on my beer labels? Thanks

I think it is pronounced because I know that honey and honey malt are present even though the honey converted to alcohol. My neighbour thinks that it is a subtle addition. I think we have our own "biases". I wish I had an original to compare it to. Since I live in Canada it would be tricky...

I served this last night to a crowd. Several said it was the best beer they had ever tasted. You can taste the honey malt in this recipe. I do not know how the original recipe without 4 oz of honey malt per five gallons tastes. It was a hit.

Should we call you Eric the Red?
