    Black IPA thing of the past?

    Love the use of BRY 97. Possibly my favourite yeast.

    Attaching a Soda Stream bottle to a regulator

    I see precarious situations trying to climb that ladder with one hand. Or, having 4 or 5 full beer glasses on a serving tray, trying to balance, climb. Party tricks!

    IPA burnout

    I get the idea of burnout. I am actually losing interest in "chasing" the new styles. Don't really care about NEIPAs, milkshake ipas, etc. I kind of think the apex of the bitter IPA was Arrogant Bastard. Since then...meh. The last really hopped beers I made, IPAs of course, was a couple of...

    Brewers Gold Dry Hopping

    Coming in here almost 5 years after this post, unfortunately that silly citrus phase hasn't disappeared. I'm pretty done with these tropical fruit/citrus-forced beers. Anyway, checked in to see the concensus on using Brewer's Gold for dry-hopping. I have two bitters ready to go so I am...

    Ordinary Bitter advice

    That's something I've never tried nor thought of. I like a pretty simple mash routine.

    Ordinary Bitter advice

    Thanks for that. If I swap out those other ingredients with 1# Crystal 80, it won't quite get to the 7SRM (but I really don't care about that). I just don't want it to be too sweet.

    Ordinary Bitter advice

    Good morning and good brew day everyone. I'm getting ready to grind grain in a few minutes. I'm getting ready to do 13 gallons of Ordinary Bitter. This will be a split batch with different yeasts. I am just playing around with different grains and I wanted to get some advice on their use...

    Danstar BRY-97 American West Coast Yeast: A Review

    Also doing a revive; I used this yeast a lot over the past year. I wanted to make an American stout and it ate the sugar up like crazy. I mashed on the lower side so it was a dry and palatable 7% offering. Just quickly, what would stand out as primary reasons to make use of US-05 over the...

    Danstar London ESB Dry Ale Yeast - Anyone use it yet?

    Regarding my bitters, very different ales with the different yeasts. The London ESB tastes like it stripped the hop and dry-hopping profile right out of the beer. It's more sweet. It's not bad, but it's just lacking. It's Nottingham twin, even though it went through a greater attenuation...

    Nottingham for high gravity brew?

    So instead of Nottingham, which of S-04 or S-05? I am a big fan of Bry-97, but this imperial brown I've made might need something more resilient.

    Danstar London ESB Dry Ale Yeast - Anyone use it yet?

    Kegged today. Essentially the same beers but for the yeast. The Nottingham is somewhat neutral, even with the dry-hopping. The ESB, however, was pretty damn good. It's allowing for the flavour of the hops to come through.

    Danstar London ESB Dry Ale Yeast - Anyone use it yet?

    It's not infected. It's really, really dry. I think my thermometer isn't calibrated any longer which impacts the temperature I am actually mashing at.
