Lovin' the resin

My ginger brew now that the boil is underway.

The lacto starter seems to have already taken off, just grain and warm water after a few hours. Going to feed it with some wort that I took out before adding the first hop addition.

Lacto starter huh? What kind of yeast did you use?
 
That website is incredibly awesome. Always looking for new recipe sites and this one is hilarious and the recipes look awesome! Thanks!

We have made almost everything and have yet to be disappointed. The broccoli chick pea burritos are my favorite.

Whilist listening to the NIN Hesitation album....after A FEW HOMEBREWS and a glass of Smashed Pumpkin, Im on to my last 4Way IPA 12 pack with Blindfold-which is a pretty nice black ipa. No I didn't drink the whole 12 pack in one session. I would pee everywhere if I did. In a drunken zombie sleepwalk kind of peeing everywhere/even secluded closet/corner kind of way in the middle of the night.

Always sad. I have a wine bottle and 2 bombers of mine left.
Second pint of hb white ipa while waiting for beer lines to be cleaned before another fruit salad blonde goes into rotation.

Eh. This wasn't the best and I won't really miss it. I've never made a cider (or derivative of) worth sharing. Drinkable, but not great. They always come out...off.
 
The bigfoot:
2013 vs 2014
The 2013 started climbing out of the bottle as soon as I popped the cap, the 2014 is very sedate

The 2013 is also so hazy I can't see through it at all, where the 2014 is quite clear.

Edit
OK, so that was a waste of a 2014 Bigfoot, but man was the 2013 good!
 
Lacto is on the grains. So all you need is wort and grains (usually uncrush) to get lacto.

Having the neighbor of the beast

HA! I can't believe I wrote that...I must have had yeast on my brain. I meant to ask what type of grain? I've made many starters using apple juice, honey water, ginger water etc. But, I've never used grains to make a starter.
 
I'm not sure what wild bugs are in my house but, once they get going and a feed them over a few days/weeks, they are beasts! I've fermented Apple Juice to over 10% with just wild airborne yeast in my house. Always tastes good to. Maybe I'll get many small ones going and sell them.
 
Started with that bomber of HB Nut Brown and started tinkering with a recipe that I hope to get to tomorrow. Next thing I know, I've finished the bomber and two 12 oz HB Citra Citrus American Wheat...they go down SOOO easily! But I think I've got my partial mash recipe sorted out...it's a Costa Rican Chocolate, Kona blend coffee, Mocha Milk Stout. Uses cocoa husks in the grain steep, nibs in the secondary, and 36 oz cold brewed Kona blend coffee concentrate at bottling. Fingers crossed, brewing the coffee now.

Drankin a growler of Hop Killah from Cellarmaker brewing. Citra, simcoe and CTZ, and lots of em. Drool. Crazy good! Tropical pine forest in my mouth!! This is for sure my favorite local brewery. Is it weird that my mouth is watering while writing this?

My friend peed in a girls dresser drawer before in College years. Ive been kinda haunted lately if I drink way too much which is rare and then I pee in weird places in the middle of the night like sleepwalking. I woke up one pretty unusally drunken night and was peeing near a plug in light socket by my tv. Not good. I was pretty ashamed when My wife woke me up and was like what the eff are you doing- it was like I was doing it on purpose cuz I dindt care but then got caught and then I came to reality at the same time. Possibly demonized that night. I still have guardian angels looking over me. I know so, I seen a white dove blasting out of the snow in front of me the other day and then had a sense of Euphoria/peace overcome me, kinda deep for some shallow words but it was real to me. I requested the guardian angels too. Its kinda what you are suppose to do, to get them- you see? Then again you need to follow through. Pray to God. Pray.

You only use raw grain for the lacto. I haven't done it that way. I scaled up bottle dreges.

Had a G'Night on tap with dinner, then a red IPA that was a collab with Boulder Brewing. Now time for this! It doesn't smell like gasoline, a diaper full of Indian food, or bigfoot's d***, but it is delicious ImageUploadedByHome Brew1394253818.721417.jpg

Any grain should work. Like DC said, the grain husks are the source of the bugs in this case

Gotcha. Definitely going to give this a try. Much different than buying yeast or harvesting from dregs. Sounds like a Lambic thing.
 
Just realized that this Lambic has no mention of ABV. I'm wondering what the potential is.
