I have some friends who chatted with the dude from Black Man Yeast at the Blue Bonnet home brew shindig. They said the dude was super cool/nice, and has a reputation for being a stellar home brewer.

Can confirm, nice guy, delicious sour beers! Some of the best stuff I tried at Dixie Cup last year.

Still waiting for the poster from yesyerday to update

The packet (German sour mix) is in the mail. It'll be next week before I get the yeast, and at least one more till I brew! I have finals the next two weeks; it'll be ~1-2 weeks before I brew. I will update as soon as I can!

 

[badlee]

Looks like I might get mine and brew before you.
I did not order the German though,so still very much looking forward to hearing your results.
Good luck with your finals

I may do the same.

 

[badlee]

What are you guys thinking of brewing with what you orderd?

 

[MaddBaggins]

No idea yet. Probably basic grains and try to hi lite the yeast. Maybe add some Brett as secondary.

This in answer to my question about the sacc in American mix;
The American sacch is light phenol and fruity. Cool ferments for primary in the mid 60s for cleane less fruity. Then rack and let it go mid 80s for some acid. This will make a nice American saison. Also dry hopping does well with the American blend.

So,I am thinking my usual hoppy Saiso grain bill-ish

@Malloy,did you put an order in?

I'm mailing in a sec

 

[Malloy]

Got swift answer.

48$ for 4 packs, shipped to Denmark. Payment made through Paypal, now there's only the wait

 

[mors]

Well that was quick. My 4 yeast packets arrived today. Even came with a few stickers.

 

[badlee]

Get in there!
As the first to show pics,what are you brewing?

 

[mors]

I think I'm going to brew a Berliner Weiss on Big Brew Day. This upcoming weekend I am already doing a large brew event in which the beers must be clean ferment only as the brewery doesn't handle bacteria.

... Of course that's over a week away... who knows maybe I'll change my mind and brew a farmhouse ale...

 

[badlee]

When I get mine I shall brew a Saison 35% each vienna and pils,20%wheat and 10% sugar.
The Belgian mix is not so easy. Thinking Oud Bruin

 

[badlee]

The BlackMan has landed.
Now,all I need to do is split these up. Half for me half for a friend.

Well I used the G4 in my beer yesterday. We shall see. I'm curious to see how it turns out. I will say the packet was different than just dried yeasts I've used. It had the dried yeast look/texture but it also had a very fine powder (which I assume is the lacto).

 

[MaddBaggins]

Just ordered the American and Flemish packs.

 

[mors]

One thing I have noticed with the G4 blend... It's the most sulphorus batch of beer I've ever made. It's strangely kicking out a ton of sulphur.

I wonder if it has a hefe strain of sacc in it

 

[mors]

It's suppose to be a German Alt strain of sacc.

 

[badlee]

The G4 is expcted to do that early on,for sure.

 

[mors]

Yeah I'm not worried about it, just seemed strange as I never really get that much sulphur in my beer fermentations. An under nourished cider or wine fermentation sure. I fully expect it to be fine.

 

[MaddBaggins]

Got my two packs and some stickers today. Super fast and a personal note written in the package. Cool guy!

 

[badlee]

Right?
I got some info on the back of a sticker.
I had questions,emailed twice and had super good answers within a day on both occasions

 

[badnewsblair]

Does anyone know if it is recommended to rehydrate these before pitching or just add the packet directly to the wort?

 

[mors]

I rehydrated mine.
