Just split a bottle with the GF. Good balance of sweet and bitter. Quite complex - Nice Carbonation. See you next year westy :)

That is OK but I will be the ultimate judge. Drink 1 now - I have 5 more to cellar.

This is going to be like bedding a virgin. Whats the optimal procedure!?

Wow - Had a great time. Did everything, Drank everything. "Smuggled" back a few friends @ 10 euro each!

Hey man, No worries. I just finished my build with a collar height of about 11.25" and thickness of about 2.25. No need for extra insulation my temp is consitant throughout the keezer, perhaps just a 1-2.5 degree shift between the collar and the bottom of the unit. I simply wired a old 12cm...

generally all starters in my opinion have a tart smell, the taste test is actually more accurate. If it tastes ok then you are in the clear, you would definatly be able to detect contamination even the slightest bit by tasting your starter. Have no fear and pitch that bad boy.

Guilty. Have an M.eng in Bioprocess & cell sciences.

I have brewed belgian styles with palm/jaggery sugar. It works but it has a very distinct and strong caramel-like notes. They do mellow out during conditioning/aging but it may take a year or more to not get as harsh a caramel blast to the pallet. If it is used I do not reccomend using it 1:1...

update: After cooling in the fridge I decanted and pitched into a 1 L vol. I tasted the decanted volume and it didn't taste sour or spoiled so adventure continues. Pitch last night at 9pm, today its now 440pm and the krausen surpasses the volume of wort, pretty impressive. I am curious on...

I gave it a quick whiff, nothing aggressive or affensive as far as odors. Did have a slightly tart aroma but generally all my starters have a slightly tart yeasty aroma. Maybe once the fermentation stoppes and the critters drop out i can crash cool and decant a taste of the wort once it...

I am working on a beer recipe with a similar profile as orval. I used the wyeast ardennes yeast as primary and wanted to build up enough of the orval/brett strain to pitch in secondary during dry hopping. I essentially made a small amount of wort with DME to approx 1.035 OG, enough to fill a...

All iknow is that the sam adams cranberry lambic was god awful

I am interested in either of the two boilermakers without a falsebottom. Let me know or PM me about shipping to 02474 / Boston Area.

When you say pineapple I think a slightly acidic green flavor... Acetaldehyde: Remedy: Use lower pitching rate Dont underaerate use a cooler fementation temp To clean up the flavor: Use warmer ferm temp keep beer on yeast and dont rack to secondary too soon rouse yeast to keep it suspended...

I always do a starter, I get much faster start and more optimal attenuation.

put a balloon into the neck and then inflate it with the mice sitting near the neck of the bottle. Slowly pull the balloon out and it should pop those buggers out.

You mean bend it up? If I bend it down then I get less space.

Drove by a yard-sale and picked up this model thinking it would be perfect to fit my kegs. WRONG! There is not enough clearance due to the freezer pan, and from my research on the net there does not seem like there is anyway to remove it or anything to make this work out. Lost cause?

Try yeast energizer and rousing the yeast that dropped out. I got my saison from 1.020 to 1.008 by doing that.

Haha Revvy I knew it was a matter of time before you would come in here with that graphic. Gold!
