Water while waiting for my coffee to brew so I can hit the road.

Homemade peach shine.. Good to end the late shift with

 

[Hopinista]

Since everyone else is having one, thought I'd dig this out of the back of the fridge

 

[CliffMongoloid]

Coff.... Oh Tuesday

 

[Hopinista]

Glass #5 of water before bed

 

[Remmy]

Can't go to the office because my day care won't allow one of my kids there with a cough. So, I'm staying home and brewing. Not so bad.

Coff.

Sounds like an inspiration for naming a new brew. Something like "Coughing Kid RIS" or "Nobody Cares Day Care IPA". You get the idea.

Well, this Saison is going to be sick. I'll think of something. :rockin:

My kid stirred the grains. This is his second time brewing AG with me.

 

[Remmy]

More Coff.

154 is a little hot for a saison, dont you think?

 

[Remmy]

Settled at 151 after mixing it around some more. It's been at 151 for 90 minutes now.

If this is the one he is adding brett to it doesn't really matter, just leaves more complex sugars for the brett to chew through :rockin:

Good to know! You always seem to teach me something. Now you know why you are my go to with recipe help Thanks!

EDIT: to stay on topic, water.

I'm a huge brewing science nerd... If you are interested in learning more about brett check out brettanomycesproject.com, lots of good info from the guy who opened Crooked Stave after doing the research and dissertation.

2nd cup o' coffee here

 

[unionrdr]

Had coffee & chicken flavor ramen with scraps of chicken & french cut green beans. Colder then a well digger's bumm here today.

Long-chain sugars are its friends. The first 20 or so minutes of the mash were at 154.

I need a beer.

 

[WesleyS]

Coffee....need more

Due to a minor glitch in the system on Sat (small batches don't work since the levels are below the thermometors in the kettles) I wound up mashing my all brett saison at 160

 

[Remmy]

Boil is underway. Need to finish this beer before a big call at 2:30.

Drink the beer or brew the beer?

Either way it'll be close

I've also read that all brett beers behave differently than beers where brett is added at the end of primary fermentation, in terms of attenuation (due to initial oxygenation, non-stressful environment, etc).

Really only have a few examples of recipes I've seen, and no personal experience, but I'd be interested to hear how that beer turns out, and what FG it ends up reaching.

This is true. You won't get that Brett "funk" if you pitch as a primary (without Sacc). You need to let the Brett do it's work (eating long-chain sugars and Sacc) to give you some funkiness. That is what I will end up with.
