    Reusing or cultivating yeast

    I’m late to this conversation but here it goes. I mostly use Krispy Kveik and I repitch ALL the time. Kveik will last forever but it did start as a liquid (well, it’s still a liquid). Yesterday I did a double brew and had saved Novalager from my last brew. It had only been 2 weeks in the fridge...

    What are you drinking now?

    This is the most delicious beer I’ve made out of 27 batches. First time trying sequoia hops and I think that’s what makes it great. The recipe is on Brewfather. Look up Vienna Sequoia

    That’s crazy. Isnt usually the other way around with the stout on the bottom?

    For Easter I try to make a Cadbury Cream Egg stout. It’s my second year trying and my second time not getting the flavour I want. Both times however, very good stouts. This one finished with a 1.020 gravity, so it’s very thick!

    Here’s my Scottish Wee Heavy. It’s a little under carbed but, I ran out of everything else. I will be making this one again. Delicious!

    What are you brewing now?

    I’m about to keg an oatmeal stout fermented on Kveik. I was looking for some vanilla flavours but I don’t think they came through. I’ll have to wait for carbonation and serving temp though.

    What are you drinking now?

    I just finished the keg on this one. It’s a Pilsner Urquel clone. I don’t know what the real beer tastes like but this was really nice and looked great. I’ve never used so much Saaz in my life.

    All "my" homebrew tastes the same!

    PH should be between 5.2 and 5.6 for home-brew. If its 7 then you are not converting enough sugars.

    How Many Gallons Brewed In 2021

    My first year as a home brewer: I made at least 80 gallons. I say at least because the recipes called for 5 gallons but I often got 6-7. Boil off isn’t great with Brewzilla.

    What are you drinking now?

    I made this holiday brew with Kveik lager yeast. It’s SO tastes like Christmas. 3 base malts with some cara II, 2 cinnamon sticks and 2 zested oranges. Added some molasses to bump it up to 7%. Christmas means stay home at my place!

    Made a bottle washer!

    I got 10’ of 3/4 pax (pvc) with corner pieces and t-connectors. 2 - 12 packs of red pens from the dollars store and a 3/4 inch FNPT X FHT PVC Swivel to connect the hose. I had the fastrack (they’re pretty cheap on Amazon) and measured it all out. I got the adhesive recommended for pvc. It dries...

    Am I the only one who enjoys bottling?

    I don’t mind when I have a couple helpers. We plot through 2 cases in about 15-20 min. It’s just an excuse to drink with friends. By myself, I don’t overly care for it.

    Molson Export / Stock ale clone

    Did you ever figure this out? I’d love a stock ale clone!

    Who's smoking meat this weekend?

    I’m about to smoke a brisket on my Weber Smokey Mountain. Up early for the task!

    New to the Game

    Officially it’s Sunday. I tried one 4 days after bottling. It was much better yesterday...as you can see, I don’t have much patience. I’m going to start using Kveik because of this.

    on the bright side, I got my thermometer back just as the weather started warming up for smoking some ribs!
