    quick sours

    Hey guys, Looking for some advice on "quick" sours. Thinking the 4 - 6 month region. Would using say WLP001 for primary ferment then racked with WLP655 secondary ferment still give me an acceptable sour? Not looking for a acid bomb, but say a brett funk to a saison or Belgian inspired...

    Low ABV brew.

    Wyeast vs. Safale vs. .....

    Hi All, I am considering my yeastie options and looking for some input. I shop with 2 different HBS's. One has safale (US-05 dry) and the other has wyeast (specifically I was looking at American Ale 1056 Activator). Now, the safale is just over $5 NZD (which is like 50c US I am sure...

    6 pack brewing.

    I see this mentioned every now and then, but it doesn't (least to me) seem to be covered off in much detail. I am starting small, 1 gallon/1 litre (which ever tickles) sized patches. All grain mash, single pot as so on. What I am wondering, is the fermentation times. You see the 1 2 3...

    Rims

    Hi, been a HBT stalker for a while, so here's my first post. Great site and an awesome community. With RIMS as a heating source, is there any problems with potential scorching? The liquor from a MLT would be pretty high in starch and wondered about that running over the direct element...
