replying to a thread is fun - but winning is more fun!

Since my last post, we've brewed our porter twice again, once with no changes, and once with changing the SafAle to liquid yeast. The licorice flavor was still present in the first batch, and gone in the second. Sad to say, but I think it was the SafAle that was doing it. We still use SafAle for...

More updates please! Any other Tumbler clones been sampled yet?

I'm not sure why no one answered this already or if anyone is reading this thread anymore, but in response to your first question, no it's not recommended to use a starter with dry yeast. First, the dry yeast already has enough cells for recommended pitching rate (and if more is needed, just add...

Our licorice flavor was strong at the beginning and is subsidin somewhat as time goes on. It sounds like those that have had this flavor in their beer and then attributed it to chlorines have said that it gets worse overtime. Can anyone confirm this? Dmfa200 - you might want to try searching...

This thread has a lot of good ideas including chlorine from my tap water (which I always use): https://www.homebrewtalk.com/f39/all-my-beer-tastes-like-black-licorice-159504/ Also, in searching "licorice" on this site, it sounds like a lot of folks with this problem have been using SafAle...

My porter has a licorice flavor to it that I wasn't planning on - and I most certainly didn't add any brewer's licorice. I've posted our recipe here: https://www.homebrewtalk.com/f12/need-help-our-porter-217272/ Anyone figure this out yet?

My all grain porter has a licorice flavor that is unexpected so I doubt it's the extract twang. Any other thoughts?

Thanks for the thought Mrk305. You made me think, "yeah, maybe that IS a lot of choco malt..." so I checked on some of the winning porter recipes and they all use between .5 and 1lb of choco, most toward the 1lb end. And the more I think about it, that black patent malt is so tiny it probably...

Hi Folks, Just beginning to drink our porter and I've noticed what I can only describe as licorice. It's most prominent in the first few sips and mellows out to an acrid coffee, chickory kind of flavor. Some days, I love it. Some days, I wish it wasn't there. My question is, what do you think...

Plenty of good options for coolers out there, but this one I liked because of size and shape that is good for both batch and fly sparging (although I only batch sparge). Cheap, easy to build, and fun. Lots of "aftermarket" parts available Price Payed: $29.00 Recommended? Yes Pros: Fun to build...
