ECY20 in a Flanders Red less than 24 hours after pitch. Was ready for a serious lag (vial was produced in late sept), but this thing is cranking! A bit worried about the temps. I don't know why I thought the lower end of the temp range was 70, so I just let it go at an ambient temp of 69/70...

Cool. Yeah just might try that. That a decent way to try to get it back as pure as I can at this point? You think there would have been enough still kicking in that cake after a year to have revived without the added Sacc?

This is mainly as a way to get feedback on what you would have done, as I already kind of made my decision and will update (if people want it) to see how it went. I searched the forums, but didnt get any info for this situation. I made a true spontaneously fermented beer last winter. 100%...

Just read in another thread and confirmed on the website that you can choose a shipping carrier other than UPS. I did not see this when I ordered from them late last year. Would have saved $8+ on shipping. Just trying to alert people that they can choose USPS as a shipping option and make it a...

Sold out about 45 mins after Facebook post from Love2Brew.

Wow...ive been watching this thread religiously and still missed out on DD. So glad i got BugCounty though. Surprised that it sold out in that order.

Took a peek at my 14 month old framboise tonight and noticed this on the top of the raspberries. There is only a tiny bit of this stuff. Doesn't really look like the beginnings of a pellicle, so guessing it's maybe some kind of mold? This obviously frightens me. How should I proceed to get rid...

Thanks for sharing! I just put an IPA in the keg about a week ago, and am not as thrilled as I would like. Hoping it ages like you say! Sent from my iPhone using Home Brew

I'm also surprised at the bad result. I have made a porter with this strain a couple times and it has turned out to be a favorite! Sent from my iPhone using Home Brew

Survey complete! I'll be brewing a Brett B Saison, camping, and watching some World Cup!

My two small batches of Brett Saison that I bottled a few weeks ago have developed pellicles as well. At first i freaked out, but I did some research on this site and saw that it's perfectly normal. A lot that I read said that most times it either goes away on its own after time or falls out...
