Planning to bottle my Kolsch and try washing the yeast. I was thinking about trying to brew an Altbier on Sunday, reusing the washed yeast, but I'm not sure if that's going to work out. Might get pushed to next weekend instead.
Going to bottle 5.25 gallons of American Black Ale on Friday evening and brew a 5.25 gallon batch of Brown Ale on Sunday. That way I will still have 25 gallons in fermenters. So far in the last 10 weekends I have bottled and brewed 9 times.
I have a busy brew weekend, I am making three beers for a good friends wedding....1) Pineapple, Passion Fruit Hefeweizen 2) My version of Shiner 3) My version of ***** Modelo!
My first Dunkel, trying to clone Weihenstephan Weiss Dunkel.
Any suggestions for this beer? I am not sure whether to bring out the banana or clove flavor more, or try to balance them. Any suggestions/opinions are welcomed!
