Has anyone brewed with this yeast? https://bootlegbiology.com/product/ob-belgian-yeast-beta/ Brewing up a Tripel in a few weeks with this yeast and interested if anyone has an experience or two to share. Will likely pitch at 64F and let naturally free rise.

Can anyone recommend how to modify this basket for recirculating below the liquid level during BIAB mash? https://www.brew-boss.com/Brewing-Filter-Clearance-p/filter-cofi-ncit.htm Bought it for $65 when they normally sell for $425, but it does not have the center infusion tube. I use camlocks...

Finally have a great excuse to invest in an at home RO system. I’ve seen great things said about @Buckeye_Hydro here, are you shipping units right now? Here are a few pics of where I would like to install the system: Looking at this system (50 GPD)...

Just noticed a new seasonal release from Imperial: https://www.imperialyeast.com/organic-yeast-strains/yeast-types/seasonal/julius/ This appears to be the same strain (by listed characteristics) as the previous A34 - Riverside See here: http://www.bottletobarrel.com/liquid-yeast/ Can anyone...

Creating this thread to keep track of a sour solera I just started and to post a few questions. Brewed up 13 gal of 1.060 wort (65/35 Pilsner/wheat malt, plus 1.5 lb maltodextrin) last night. Mashed at 160F. Added 6 oz of debittered hops at 60 min. Pitched two vials of the Yeast bay Melange...

Straight forward question. What is the best way to bottle beer with minimal carbonation (unblended lambic) while avoiding too much oxygen in the bottle? I will be using a mix of capped 12 oz bottles and cage/corked Belgian bottles (no preference of ratio of the two).

I recently acquired five 1-gallon fermenters for experimentation purposes. For my first test batch, I’m planning on brewing up 6 gallons of BCBS-type base beer, bottling ~1 gal, and then splitting off ~1 gal into each of the 5 fermenters. I’d like to then hit each one with unique pastry stout...

Purchased this yeast blend in July, but haven’t seen hardly any commentary on the interwebs... Brewed up a NE IPA last night: 68% 2-Row, 14% Flaked Oats, 14% White Wheat, 3% CaraFoam, 1% Honey Malt 6 gal, OG = 1.062 10 IBUs at 60 min (HopShot) 20 IBUs at 5 min (Amarillo) Whirlpool- Citra...

Long story short, scientists have engineered a yeast strain (starting with WLP001) that expresses monoterpenes (eg hop oils, linalool and geraniol). https://www.nature.com/articles/s41467-018-03293-x This strain “out produced” the same style of beer even when dry hopping was incorporated with...

I really enjoy the yeast character WY1318 provides in IPAs and I also love fruited kettle sours (sometimes dry hopped). So, why not combine the two? I normally use US-05 with great results, FYI. Does anyone have experience with the pH tolerance of this strain? I haven't had issues with...

I am just getting into using a spunding valve. With the first batch I used it on, I transferred to a corny once primary fermentation appeared to be slowing down (gravity was at 1.020, expected to hit 1.015-1.018, mash temp hit 156F urgh) and added the spunding valve. So far, 48 hours later...

Just recently got into brewing kettle soured beers, using OYL-605, can't recommend that strain(s) enough! Anyways, I normally store glycerol stocks of my yeast cultures in the freezer (-80C, but -20C is doable as well with the right setup). I hadn't seen much information RE making lacto...

Looking for a list of online suppliers that will (heavily) discount the price of expired yeasts (dry or liquid). Similar to Norcal (http://www.norcalbrewingsolutions.com/store/Clearance.html) Thanks!

I've seen blog posts about this kind of thing, but didn't see any threads when I searched HBT, so I thought I'd share how I decorated my kegerator. Last December I mailed envelopes, which included a self-addressed, stamped envelope and a letter asking for stickers or anything cool to 20 of my...

Long time lurker, finally decided to be productive and join the community. So I am a biochemist/structural biologist (bacterial pathogenesis) and I love making/drinking IPAs (homebrewing for 2+ years) of all kinds. I was drinking a Tree House Julius with a buddy of mine and we decided that...
