I used fresh roasted whole beans in the keg with great success. I went with 6oz in a mesh hop bag and in about 36 hours the beer had a fantastic smooth coffee taste.

124+3 gallons of sour cherry jalapeño wheat ale = 127

Homebrew whiskey barrel aged barleywine

Belle saison yeast would be my suggestion before wine yeast.

I've used both and prefer the A20.

Congrats on 10 years!

I would give it some more time. I recently used wlp099 on a 1147 Barleywine that stalled at 1050. It took a week or so to start but after it has knocked out a point about every 2 days. Last gravity sample was at 1042 and there is still airlock activity.

For something different, make a Farmhouse IPA.

I soured 8 gallons of wort with 5 caps in 6 days held at 100 degrees.

Just got a bmb with the new lid. It pops out by itself with little to no pressure. When I purchase something I don't expect to have to modify it to work properly. I will not be purchasing a second.

I have found that it behaves the same as any other saccharomyces strain. I've heard that it is capable of creating a pellicile but have not seen it. Have it fermenting in a pale ale now and it will probably be done in 7 days. I ferment at 72-75 and get more fruit esters from this strain than any...

IBUs might be a little high for the L. Brevis and 644 isn't actually a brett strain but it is great yeast. 5-10 IBU is what I shoot for when souring with lactobacillus.

Was the gravity reading taken with a refractometer or hydrometer? If hydrometer did you adjust for wort temperature?

Chest freezer with a temp controller should be all you need.

There is a South Florida brewery makes a berliner with Gatorade powder, Haterade. It tastes pretty good and just like fruit punch Gatorade.

Homebrew clubs pour at various beers related events around the Tampa area. In many cases event coordinators will invite clubs to pour. My suggestion is to contact one for more information.

Little over a month ago I pitched a vial of WLP566, no starter, that was best by 12/30/13 into 2.5gal of 1.041 wort... for science of course. 5 days later and bam fg .998.
