yes frozen fruit is fine ive used raspbeery and blackberry smash them up in there bag they come in while there frozen its easy to break it up frozen and easier to get into the fermentor in smaller pieces also helps with flavor extraction. just dump into secondary no need to transfer and yes you...

i checked on my sour cherry funk on tuesday 2-28-2017 after 4 weeks in primary and it is at 1.008 from 1.050 and it is sour not too complex but im happy with it. its been in a 65F room the whole time and i pitched the yeast at 90f into the fermentor and let it cool down by itself from there. i...

just took my first sample of this from primary last night after about 4 weeks it was at 1.008 and pretty plain. didnt really get any brett character hopefully it changes with some more age. so far not impressed it might do more if used as secondary yeast after a sach primary

brewed sunday afternoon and by monday night it had started already so everything is looking good so far. went with very low ibus about 1 or less and malts based off of the rare barrel golden sour with 1.050 og. ill keep updating as it goes

Just checked the date it says September 7 2016 so around 4 months old don't have time to make starter but sounds like your 4 month old pack did great with a starter hopefully mine goes well

I'm about to go to Portland in a couple weeks I saw that they were there do they have any kind of beer tasting room or anything like that?

just used DD as primary a few days ago and am making a starter with the little bit of brett left in the bottle after i dumped it in. the small starter definitely had some funk smell to it i just stepped it up to a bigger 2 liter last night. havent had the chance to check on the 5 gal yet will do...

just got this yeast in the mail and ill be brewing with it this weekend hopefully it turns out good

The yeast bay amalgamation and Giga yeast sour cherry funk

Ok I'll try and make it there next weekend and pick you up a bottle

I'm in

after only 3 days your yeast should still be working. they should use any oxygen that got in. if your worried about oxidation. don't worry drink it when its done. maybe your 4 year old heard the yeast asking for more oxygen

I was laughing hard about taking a gravity sample. too bad you didn't put some bugs in it 2 years ago. how did it taste?
