Its on amazon now. It sellsnout quick.. its 14 a case and do not pay the scalpers prices







It looks like a beginning of an infection. How does it taste?

It's a 100% brett B ferment, only a gallon, smell fantastic,very fruity.
Not sure how to proceed, if I take a couple of samples I losing a large percentage of the beer.
I want to do a 5 gallon batch this weekend.

Last bottle of 1.5yr old hoppy rye saison that was hiding in the back of the beer fridge. Glad this one is gone. Rye IIPA with late Saphir hops = excellent beer, hoppy rye saison with late Saphir hops = beer I'm ashamed of.

Well then of course it's infected. Lol. I bet it's delicious. Brett in the presence of oxygen will form a pellicle.

What he said. You did not say it was brett. Thats normal because of the oxygen in the carboy that creates a pellicle. I dont take samples often for that reason. I usually try it before i bottle.

Proceed as normal with separate equipment. I usually add fresh year (us05) for bottle condition to insure it will be carbed.

Hahaha, touché. Work has kicked my ass this week and turned my brain to mush.

Another surprise in the back of the beer fridge. My first pumpkin ale that has been in bottles a week over 3 years now. 6lbs of roasted fresh pumpkin in the mash and a little under spiced fresh. No hint of pumpkin or spice now, just tastes like a malty English ale.

Fins Saison v2
Pretty tasty beer. Nicely done Ryan.

 

[onetoeddogbrewery]

all I have left after brewing and cleaning up once I got home. Looks like a trip to the liquor store is in order tomorrow.

 

[DanzigsMISFITS]

This... which closely resembles my Pumpkin spice ale

 

[TCGoose]

Coffee, water, protein shake.

 

[wobrien]

Drinking water at work but thinking about sour beers.

Has anyone split a mash and done a clean beer and a sour from the same grain bill? I'm thinking I'll have to do two separate boils due to hopping schedules, but not sure. I'm leaning towards maybe a blonde or a Tripel as the base? Or maybe a stout a la Tart of Darkness?

 

[Billy-Klubb]

more coffee and contemplating a review on ranch dressing.

I bet a tripel or saison would work as long as you keep the ibus down around 20-25. Sours are all ive been thinking about since sampling my "lambic". Ill hopefully get another one brewed up this month, if not two.

Edit, i think the biggest thing to consider is mashing temps. Most people suggest mashing high 156-158 for sours to keep food for the bugs. For a saison or tripel i probably wouldnt mash over 152.

And if you do go stout route, make sure to use debittered or dehusk roasted malts.

You can do that route if you want. You going to add bugs, sour mash, etc.? Should be fine to split a batch before boiling.

And if you do go stout route, make sure to use debittered or dehusk roasted malts.

I didnt do that and it turned out great. Just have to consider it in the recipe but you do not need much for the color/little roast.

 

[wobrien]

Fins, good point on the mash temp, I'll definitely keep that in mind.

DC, could you post/PM your sour stout recipe?

Thanks!

 

[finsfan]

I will second that haha.

Water while driving to Nashville. Well, sitting still right now because the state of Pennsylvania saw fit to close one lane on a two lane highway in the middle of the day.
