pellicle porn
When you read the title of this particular thread, what did you expect? While you claim we are dick swingin pics of pellicles you seem to not have anything to share here. Therefore, I think TNGabe's question IS a good one
 
What style of "sour" beer are you knocking out in 3 months?

Unblended and blended New World sour ales, both fruited and unfruited. It's all about recipe, microbes, and fermentation technique. Years are not needed to make these types of beers. They get sour and funky very quickly and as they are not meant to be Old World recreations in the lambic or Flanders tradition, they aren't fermented or blended as such.

I've also done a series of barrel-fermented and barrel-aged saisons and bieres de coupage.

Roll your eyes all you want. You have no idea what you're talking about. It shows in your responses. No information or counter argument.

Just a gif.

Wow . . . you can post a video! Congrats! You've won the internet.

I'd genuinely like to try your beer. You seem like one of those 'beer scientists' who aced organic chem but can't brew a beer that actually tastes good.

Just barely passed o-chem, fwiw, but that was decades ago.

As far as how my beers taste, I've definitely had hits and misses, but, overall, the fermentations weren't the issue, rather the combination of ingredients.

You can listen to reviews of them on Basic Brewing Radio, if you are interested.
 
in fairness, one can make a very nice tart beer that is not kettle soured, etc in about 2 months.
those of us that do tend to refrain from needlessly antagonizing others though...

Am I antagonizing? Maybe. I am, however, more concerned with people using well-tested, proven techniques to make consistently better beer than I am with making "friends", so . . . .

more than 1 way to skin a cat.
just because someone put a process in a book doesn't always mean it will work practically for end users due to many variables.

Corrrect, but there are some things that are constants. Like keeping oxygen away from beer.

This is just going in circles but I will say this- my brewing got significantly better when I stopped trying to control every single aspect and just let the recipe, fermentation, and environmental conditions dictate the beer. Old world techniques adapted to modern brewing have worked better than anything for me personally. I think there's something to be said for that just like there's something to be said for the dudes who always have their nose in a chemistry book or staring down a microscope. A little oxygen exposure has never resulted in significantly bad flavors, and in some cases I find it adds a nice character if done at the right time. But YMMV.

Care to swap some homebrews? I am very curious.

If you genuinely are trying to share your wealth of information, coming off as a blabbering know-it-all isn't the best way to get an audience.

Agreed.

Sure. Happy to send you something.

No body-fluids, brah. ;)
 
Nothing to share? Did you, perchance, read the last couple pages?
Yep, I've read a lot of **** that you've said all over this site in the past 10 days. This thread, like I said, is pretty much a "show and tell" (re: I'll show you mine if you show me yours (pellicles)). You have SHOWN us nothing, while making jokes that we are....
what amounts to dick pics of your pellicle

...off on the wrong foot, you started. (simply bc you love gifs)
