Totally stuffed and a few porters on the side was a good time with family.

Hope you all have a good one!

So my cherry sour is developing what looks like a pellicle or infection in the bottle, I used belgian lambic blend, but my previous batches never had this. Is there a health/bottlebomb worry here?

So I'm just a dumb euro-poor :D and I'd never knew that the whole going to the laundromat/building washing machine was common in the US, i thought it always was just a thing in new york tv-series. We don't really have anything like that here, except for some specialty services for big carpets or...

So was trying to scrub the bottom of my kettle from the usual caked on spots above the elements and got lazy so just sprayed some starsan on and left it for a while. A while turned into next day due to the above lazyness and I noticed that once it dried, you could just peel off the spots as it...

I've never had anything like this, so posting to check, should i just dump this? don't want to risk bottle bombs or other issues.

It's not quite ready, but usable as is. Still needs a dedicated 16A socket next to where the kettle will be and proper exhaust, for now i'll just run a cord from the washingmachine spot and open a window :) Electric kettle will go on the lower bench next to the window, so it is the exact right...

Had a great traditional finnish christmas dinner, several good beers and am currently enjoying my new gaming monitor :D Wish you all a good one! ps. why can't I eat even half of what I used to in my twenties/thirties, even though i now have twice the belly?

So, finally we are getting our whole house to ourselves(used to rent out the second apartment). This means I'll have space for a kegerator and can start kegging. Living in Finland, the choices are a bit more limited(shipping from the US is just too expensive on bigger stuff)...

Found a hopplant 2 years ago in a piece of forest near our house after the electric company had dug up a trench for putting all the wiring underground(finally after several storm-related blackouts). From historical maps, I found out there used to be a farm there before our neighbourhood was...

Anyone have any experience with steel kettle style fermenters? My buckets are getting old, so thinking of getting 2 steel fermenters, but don't have money for "fancy" ones. thinking of this: https://www.panimonurkka.fi/tuote/kattila-30l-rst/

So basic thread based on all the other music threads, Post your (current) favourite song. My favourite for a while now, Nightwish-Ghost love score(live)

Been growing for few years yet, mostly northern brewer that i bought and split over the years. The main, front of the house hop is now 5 years old and doing well, there's also a smaller 2 year old one on our terrace and last something I found in a nearby forest that hopefully will produce enough...

As my christmas porter is in the cellar aging, i've been thinking of using some leftover honey and making a "near-braggot" wheat beer, spicing it to get some wintery feel. base recipe would be something like: 5 gallons 5 lb wheat malt 4 lb pale malt 3 lb honey 1 oz hallertau at 60 mins. .5 oz...

Is there any app or software that can take a recipe and find what style it is? I tend to throw together a lot of my recipes and it would be fun to have something that matches the relevant style to the beer i make.

A recipy I'm cloning (brewdog jet black heart) is asking for both dark crystal and crystal 150, not specifying firms that make it. As far as I can see, these are the exact same thing?

Happy 100th birthday to the country that lets me live here :D 100 years ago, Finland got their independence from Russia.

For some reason the local brewstores seem to think that flaked barley is slightly more expensive than unicorn horn....is it ok to just use storebought flaked barley? such as: https://www.oatletstore.com/collections/flakes/products/nalle-wholegrain-barley-flakes-700-g they are even cheaper...

http://www.candisyrup.com/uploads/6/0/3/5/6035776/westvleteren_8_clone_-_041.pdf anyone tried it, going to brew it this weekend, just wondering if anyone did it before and has any insight.

So I finally got enough of the long waits on my stove and managed to score a cheap(ish) bulldog brewer and got it delivered this week. here's some unboxing pics already :mug: this is the newer version with sparge plate and steel wort chiller.
