Looking for Aaron Burr, Albemarle, Virtue, Foggy Ridge, Farnum Hill Kingston Black specifically, or any similar. I've got beers to trade...mostly cellared stouts and sours. I also have plentiful access to St. Louis beers such as Perennial, 4Hands, Schlafly, etc.

So my wife decided to add a few flower pedals to 2 beers I have fermenting for Heritage Fest in St. Louis in June (not for experimenting reasons but instead, cause she was pissed at me). Ones been sitting for 1 wk and has since finished fermenting and the other is at 2 wks. I sanitized a...

Anyone know if they use the Conan strain in these as well?

Last October I started a cider experiment. I gathered 5 gallons unpasteurized fresh juice from an orchard. I let this ferment naturally for a week in a 5 gal carboy and then added campden to kill off the wild stuff. I then waited a few days and added some Belgian yeast and some bottle dregs...

I've only brewed a stout one other time in all of my homebrewing "career" I am roughly going from Jamils American Stout recipe in Brewing Classic Styles but tweaking it a bit based on my efficiency and ingredients on hand. I just want to make sure I'm not crazy and going to ruin this...

Hi guys, I brewed a basic saison recipe with just 2-row and malted wheat around 4 weeks ago. I used solely Jolly Pumpkin yeast for fermentation. I grew this yeast up for around a month. At two weeks my gravity was 1.002 and almost 3 weeks after that it's now 1.000. It's been in a ale pail...

Does anyone have any experience or knowledge of adding a very small amount (1 oz or less) of roasted barley or even crystal 10 malt to a saison? I'll be using 3711 so I'm not worried about poor attenuation from the crystal. I'm working on a table beer style saison with a low gravity but...

I brewed an oatmeal stout and added a healthy starter of Brett L that I built up twice that was from white labs. I began to see active fermentation after 6 hours and thought things were great. My basement temp dropped to high 50's low 60's and after two days of going crazy it stopped so I...

My parents have an apple orchard in thier town, so I had them get me 5 gallons of unpastuerized cider to play around with. Unfortunately, they were not able to bring it to me within a day or two. Now, it is going on 5 days they have had it and they are finally bringing it to me. I had them...

I have brewed the same brown ale recipe multiple times now and have tried changing it up a bit everytime. The original recipe won first place in a local competition, it is basically the same recipe in Jamil's "Brewing Classic Styles" book. I am wanting to experiment again with the recipe and...

What is the best way to isolate a leak from a keg? I had my two kegs hooked up at 12 psi and on day 3/4 when I went to check on them, the co2 tank was empty and the kegs had no pressure. I did have a leak from a faulty o-ring on one of the kegs gas posts that I had corrected. I will test the...

Can any MA folks help me out? I'm looking to try Pretty Things. I'm looking for any of them, but especially the barley wine, Jack D'or, and fluffy white rabbits. I live in St. Louis, so I have a large amount of excellent local stuff available (Schlafly, Perennial, Civil Life, 4 Hands...) Or...

I searched for it, but couldn't find a definitive answer. I have a brett beer that is 4 weeks in. Starting gravity was 1.067 and I checked it two weeks ago and it was at 1.012 and another two weeks later it remains the same. From my understanding, all brett beers do not super attenuate like...

I've been tossing the idea around for awhile, but does anyone have any thoughts on doing an all brett version of arrogant bastard? I was going to try it with the 90%2-row and 10% special B version and substitute simcoe or amarillo for chinook. So really, it wouldn't be a clone without the...

I just qualified for MCAB and entries are do January 18. I don't have time to rebrew my winning IPA, so is there a good way to slow it's aging? Refrigeration?

I'm using some hops I have no experience with and am looking for some advice of when and where to use them in an IPA. The grain bill is 12 lbs. 2-row, 1 lb. munich, and 0.5 lb c-60. I'm looking to keep the IBU's within the upper end of 70 or 80 ibu's. What I have are: 5 oz. Simcoe...

First let me start off by saying that I opened this beer after only two days in the bottle. I'm not very patient. I dry hopped it with 2 oz. cascade pellets and was expecting it, even after only 2 days in the bottle, to have "citrus" like aroma. I know that green beer will taste different...
