Somehow I left a half pint of blonde ale in the garage a couple weeks ago and just discovered it.

Stick a straw through it and drink up.

I realize this is not an impressive photo, but after sitting on 10 gallons of my Duchess clone for a year we finally have white matter. I'm stoked.

Here is two and a half gallons of sour brown ale that is sitting on a pound and a half of mulberries.

Yumm! Please update with tasting notes.

Whoa that is beautiful.

 

[BryanThompson]

I know. I felt bad destroying it to transfer onto blackberries. haha

I'll add one of mine to the mix. A 100% Brett brew with Brux Trois and Claus. It's about 5-6 months in right now. Sitting at room temp. Trying to decide when to bottle. I have another I'll have to get a photo of. It's coming up on 11 months in the fermenter, way back in the dark depths of a closet. It smells amazing.

4 month old Sour Rye Farmhouse racked on top of a Temptation clone cake. Pretty much no visual anything up until yesterday. I added the toasted Oak dowel four days ago.

Lambic mead now has a full pellicle at 6 months. This is WYeast Lambic blend + dreggs of Boulevards 2013 Saison Brett

11 month old Thimbleberry pLambic. Added 11.5 lbs of hand picked thimbleberries between 10 gallons of beer a week ago.

You don't play with headspace, I like it!

This is a one gallon Berliner Weisse with mangos added. It smells like a chemical smell. Almost like those little tubes of balloons that you would blow up with the straw kind of smell. Is this okay to taste or drink?

 

[Rys06Tbss]

I don't know what this is but it's ment to be a non funky blonde. Oh well

This is a poor picture, but my first pellicle! I pitched a woken up (pitched two days before into 100ml of 1.020 wort) vial of Bootleg Biology Pithos Lambic blend into 4 gallons of 1.040 wort made from some DME, and a partial mash of two-row, wheat malt and a pound of raw wheat. The started had had a small krausen prior to pitching, although it had receded a bit. Fermentation and a krausen started within 12 hours, and a loose pellicle formed over the krausen. This is 10 days later.

I brewed on my birthday, so I'll remember when to sample it. I don't plan to pitch any dregs because I want to see what this Bootleg Biology stuff will do.

How big is that barrel? How long has it been in there?

 

[hunterlab]

It's about 6 gallons or so and a well used barrel, it has been in there since February 13'. It smells absolutely amazing!

 

[dcHokie]

"Repas du Matin", a low gravity sour saison/table beer. About a year old, with a ton of different bugs in it

 

[Billy-Klubb]

who ever was the first to say, "I ain't dumping this beer I forgot just because it's growing skin." needs an award.

Do you have wax on the outside of the barrel? Limit O2?

 

[mors]

Lambic-like beer I made during a 13 hour boil of a barleywine.

The barrel is all waxed on the exterior to limit o2 absorption.

What's your technique to wax?
