    Proto-wit bier ???

    That makes sense. Sorry about the awful typo. I needed the history behind proto-wit bier. At first I thought the history of the first witbier, cause the proto stuff didn't add up. So, I went with just that and found out that they were made from grains available at the time (unmalted wheat...

Also, I have a space problem and whatever I get has to be nice to look at, since it is going...

    Pellicle Photo Collection

    Brett from a tube or from environment makes a different. If you added Brett to your culture you expect certain things to happen. I've seen all of those veil formations without adding Brett. There is ton of wild/native yeast in grain. And yes, the term wild is vague. But, it is the only term I...

    Pellicle Photo Collection

    I was talking mostly about the pics posted in this thread. I've seen that stuff in some of my batches (the white filmy stuff with bubbles that don't pop). I associate that stuff with wild yeast and not necessarily Brett or bacteria. Usually when working with bacteria what happens is that beer...

    Pellicle Photo Collection

    Hi all, Saw the pictures and it looks like a wild yeast to me and not necessarily Brett. I'm doing a Framboise attempt and I added Brett to my secondary fermentation and have no pellicle showing, but I know Brett is there just by the smell of it (its a funky animal smell). Although on other...

    clarification

    Hi, all so I made a heffeweizen beer. It was really nice in color after fermentation, took the yeast out, did everything as according to plan. Then everything went to hell and mixed it with another batch with yeast and all. Put it in a keg and started carbonation. After two weeks of being in...

    starters

    No gravity readings yet. I check viability with a microscope and methyl blue stain. Room Temperature is between 60 and 75 F no higher than 77 even when its hot outside. I was planning on doing a reading today and taste it. If its really sweet then fermentation is incomplete right?

    Where do you keep your starters?

    Once they are done fermenting I put them in the fridge

    starters

    Hi, all I have a big question. I did a starter using yeast from a previous yeast cake. When I did the starter I pitched in the volume if one white labs tube. Usually I use double the quantity and pitch directly into the carboy. But, I thought the yeast needed a boost and did the starter...
