    Does Jolly Pumpkin use a bottling yeast?

    Hello, thanks for the link. It appears the MF has significantly updated the brett/bugs list, since that last time I viewed it. I printed off a version of that list as quick reference about a year ago, but haven't checked back for updates. Even if they JP uses a dry/wine yeast for bottling. I...

    Does Jolly Pumpkin use a bottling yeast?

    I recently pitched the dregs from a bottle of JP’s La Roja onto a mixed-fermented golden ale. Upon pitching the dregs within a few days time the beer has already showed signs of fermentation. A friend of mine with more experience brewing sour ales stated, sometime in 2012 JP began filtering...

    Who has combined WY Brett L and WLP Brett Trois?

    I’m looking for any feedback, experiences, comments, and tasting notes good or bad. Thanks. I’m starting to planning for my first 100% brett beer. I’m leaning towards a low gravity & IBU Saison/ Blond ale base with some acid malt, flaked maize and wheat. I’ve always been intrigued by WY Brett...

    Anyone fermented a Flanders Ales (Red or Brown) at higher temperatures?

    Last night I blended the two beers (s-05 and WLP 500) with equal ratios to achieve a SG 1.022 across both. So I have two carboys; 2.5 gallons (3 gallons BB) and 6 gallons (6 gallon BB). I have one packet of WY#3763 Roeselare Blend, and plan to acquire one packet each of WY#5335 Lacto and WY#5733...

I have heard people keg their keg beers within a few days or overnight to then serve them immediately. Are there any tricks or...

    Wheat malt in high gravity beers

    If you use a fining agent such as Irish moss at end of boil, this should help settle out lot of protein causing haze. However, that is only one variable in the whole process from wort to beer in glass. Other things to consider yeast flocculation, length of fermentation, fermentation temperature...

    Baltic Porter

    So I bottled mine last week after 3-4 weeks of lagering at 32'F. I added a 1/4 tsp of Nottingham dry yeast during bottling. Assuming all yeast has settled out.
