So, I think I am going to brew this and some other saisons similar to it, I will keg condition some but others I will do a sacch yeast then long brett and then bottle condition with wine yeast, what do you guys add for sugar at bottling after you take a beer like this down to 1.006-1.000...

I have literally got gallons of yeast from one of the most popular breweries here in Alaska, they are usually stoked and always wanna talk beer. It would really surprise me if they turned you down. I'm sure its getting asked for free beer that gets old with them.

IDK but you should send them an email and ask.

Ya, thats what i am basing it off of. He is actually a good customer of mine but he is a very busy man so I hate to bug him about little stuff all the time. I have a ton of chips already but your right maybe I should get some cubes. Good idea on the pinot noir, I think I will do that.

I guess I could put them in towards the end of the brett before I bottle too??? Any help would be nice.

So I am trying to clone Love buzz by Anchorage brewing. This will be for my wedding in a year or two. Here are the steps and my concerns. 1. he ferments in oak fouders with belgian yeast. (I will use a bucket) 2. then transfers to oak barrels with brett b for 8 months. (This is where I want to...

I am going to do the same thing, I am really getting into these Brett brews, not really sour but funky and benefit from aging, check this out. Its one of my favorite brews and I might clone it this weekend so it will be ready for my wedding in approximatly 1.5 years...

No problem, I'm a big fan of gabe so when I heard about this I knew I had to get tickets. Good luck to you on getting yours, I'm sure they will go very fast.

Sounds like its on the down low, gonna be expensive and very few tickets sold but I think it could be epic, or shall I say the opposite of GABBF. This is a little info, if you want more info you have to be on Facebook, that's where he will announce when tickets go on sale...

Ya, I was pretty bummed that they had that in the program and when I asked for it the girl at the F/W booth acted like she had never even heard of it. I am pretty excited about the new event that Gabe Fletcher is going to put on.

Oh and BTW what brought you up here? I moved up from the four corners area several years ago.

I dont think I would try to brew outside, do you not have a garage? I have been brewing for awhile up here and my garage is unheated and its difficult enough for me especialy the clean up part. i still mash in my kitchen just to help hold the temp.

I'd almost rather it be in B.C. but yes I will be in Washington. Although I did have some really good beer and alot of fun the last time I was in the portland area.

I will be in vancouver for a few days the first week of march, I will be staying at the Springhill suites at columbia tech center. Is there a place to get a few bombers or maybe a resturant where I could grab a few pints? Id like something close as I dont want to have to rent a car.Thanks in...

I attended the "connoisseur" session and feel the same way, what a joke. I figured they would not pack the whole place but they did. Then they give you tickets and most of the brews I wanted to try were 3-4 tickets! WTF!!!!! Its not like we are paying for the brew, they are there representing...
