This is a pretty simple brew I did with a bud over the weekend. Haven't brewed in awhile and need to get back into the swing of things. I am posting mainly because I have not seen a lot regarding anecdotal experience with WLP 648 (Brett brux trois vrai). Simple sour grainbill 60/40 White Wheat...

I am trying out a technique @RPh_Guy illustrates on a post in this thread: https://www.homebrewtalk.com/forum/threads/bottling-with-brett.667180/ I am just starting this to document the process/results and if anyone else is trying similar things etc. etc. Simple Gose recipe: 7lb German Pilsner...

So I posted this in the Tepache thread but I figured this would be a good place to discuss it as well. I made a batch of Tepache which uses the yeast on the skin of the pineapple to ferment a slightly alocohlic refreshing beverage. I have done a number of batches without issue. My lastest just...

https://www.bennington.com/summer-homebrew-festival Just bought my tickets and AirBNB. I figured I'd put this up here for anyone in the area with a free weekend. Normally I hate these types of events but if I'm drinking homebrew instead of the run-of-the-mill craft beers I'm in 100%.

So I have been taking a look at if there is a practical, potentially fast pedio strain to use that gives a bit more complexity than lacto but without waiting the normal 12 month minimum for pedio/brett fermentations. I read through the MTF Pedio page and ran across Sour Weapon P from Bootleg...

https://www.athleticbrewing.com/ What do we think of this? Has the craft bubble gotten so large that this now a feasible business plan? I am intrigued and skeptical all at once. Might get a chance to check it out at some point this year.

Hello wine maker friends! So I need some advice, I came into a 6 gallon pail of South Africa Savignon Blanc juice from my LHBS and now I have it sitting in the house. It is in a sealed bucket with one of those tiny airlocks to allow pressure out. A few days and I have already had some...

I picked up Bootleg Biology Chardonnay last fall and am finally getting around to using it soon. I am getting some Savignon Blanc wine juice and going to take a stab at a wine/beer hybrid sour. I wanted to see if anyone has used this yeast for beer or wine and get their thoughts. My first...

I figured I would put this out here to folks with beer-drinking experience in Colorado. In three weeks I am going with SWMBO to Denver for a week. We are staying near Antique Row (closest bar seems to be Gramma's House) and plan on doing a day driving around Colorado Springs to visit a friend...

So I was planning on my next brew being a sour of some sort but over the weekend I had this beer for the first time and loved it: https://www.beeradvocate.com/beer/profile/45814/332966/ I have never brewed a stout or really any English styles All-Grain so poking around the interwebs I realized...

I have a couple brews under my belt and like many homebrewers have turned my attention to my water source. I started using extract and our city tap water and since switching to BIAB wanted to up my water game also. I went to my LHBS looking for Campden to at the very least remove the...

I saw a youtube video where someone took a pint of pale ale and using a stainless teaball added a single hop pellet to the pint and then drank it after letting it sit for a minute or two and agitating the teaball. I have a crappy beer that has a weird twang at the end of the taste. I'm thinking...

Hello all. So to step up the quality of my brewing the next phase is a fermentation temperature control setup. The lady and I were walking through BJ's yesterday and since I am now prowling for a ferm chamber I walked down the appliances aisle and found this wine refrigerator...

I just saw that Northern Brewer added an extract kit for a NE IPA here. I am interested in giving this kit a try, 53$ is a lot but I'd like to use it as a baseline to understand how limited I am at making the NE IPA style. Can I reproduce a complex style to satisfaction with a pre-made kit? I...

I have made one mead so far, JAOM. In an effort to unlearn the things I assumed to be true when making this mead I am now looking to do a traditional in order to learner the proper techniques of mead-making. I have a bag of Yeast Energizer from my LHBS, I use it sparingly in my beer brewing...
