Pictures of Bugs

[Evan!]

Just for your general amusement, here are my 3 bugged batches that I have going right now. The first is the oude kriek that I brewed last August. It's a lambic right now, technically, but I'll add oregon puree cherries in a couple months:

Next is my second Flanders Red. I racked the one I did last July to the keg last weekend, so last Monday, I brewed up another and transferred right from the kettle to the old nasty bug-filled carboy from the last one. It's really taken off over the last 24 hours...

Lastly, I brewed a berlinerweisse on Friday, ended up pitching less than half a vial of lactobacillus D. into it, but apparently, that was all it needed. It's somewhere in the 80's right now...my fermometer only goes to 78f. I never expected all that co2 production from the lacto...looks like a normal krausen to me!

Anyway, that is all...

Hey Evan, I started a thread (shameless plug: https://www.homebrewtalk.com/f127/started-my-first-berliner-120848/), can you let me know what all you pitched in the berliner? Was it just the half vial of bugs, or did you pitch a yeast as well?

It was just the last 1" of a vial of lacto d., no saccharomyces. I want it sour as a whore twat, so I may not add any sacch at all...
