    How much fresh cut lemon thyme do I add to a saison?

    Very basic malt bill (pilsner, wheat) probably use 3724 as my yeast and Pekko for the hops addition. I might even dry hop with Pekko since I notice during my gravity readings that it gives some pretty unique flavors (kinda minty). Just need advice on how much lemon thyme to add. I definitely...

    First year hops (zone 9B) Tettnag, slowing down and no longer sticking to twine

    Pretty much the title. 4 rhizomes planted in late February. We had a week of unusually warm weather and a ton of rain. Only 3 rhizomes broke ground and grew about 5 feet in a few weeks and sorta chilled the last month. Just checked today and one has fallen off the twine and is just sorta hanging...

    Loquat saison?

    Looking like it's just about loquat season here in Florida. Wondering how many pounds I should try to harvest from my tree to ensure I get a solid flavor contribution from the loquats? Will probably use a slurry from a 3724 batch of saison I have going now. Most likely with a typical saison...

    Looking for something to do with leftover Gesho (Ethipoian "hop stems")

    Brewed a Tej but have a ton of leftover Gesho. The Tej is coming along nicely and has a pretty sweet/unique flavor to it. Not too interested in the Ethiopian beer I've seen recipes for but I could be interested in trying this in a cider/gruit? Maybe a wit or saison? Just sorta looking for places...

    Tej, an Ethiopian Honey Wine

    http://www.wikihow.com/Make-Tej I have never heard of this particular variant of honey wine before. Seems very similar to mead except that (from all the sources I've been able to find) it is ready to drink in only a few weeks. Also, it appears to use naturally occurring yeast to ferment. Are...

    First attempt at fermenting with brett

    My buddy ****ed up his grain bill and now has about 10 pounds of grain (for a stout) that he has no idea what the actual amounts of different grains are. He isn't the type to throw caution to the wind so I said we should just brew it and throw some brett in there to see what happens since...

    I made an excellent Berliner Weisse on my first try and I'm not sure why

    The purpose of this brew was to do a super cheap (and good) sour beer in as short a time as possible. I went grain to glass in 8 days and this beer is the first one that no one at my local home brew club tried to offer me suggestions on how to fix up/improve upon. 3 gallon batch BIAB 1 lb...

    Attempting a parti-gyle style

    Messing around with some ideas and trying to get two five gallon batches out of one (extended) brew day. Due to limitation on my fermentation chamber one of these style is going to be fermented at a higher temp (so I'm leaning towards saison). I thought it could be fun to try to get a dark...

    Is this pump enough to use with my counterflow wort chiller?

    Seems to be a decent deal, just wondering if it is powerful enough to use for my wort chiller. http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0018X2XT4/?tag=skimlinks_replacement-20

    I want to try a new saison yeast

    I've used 3711 for all my saisons so far and I absolutely love how easy it is. I would like to try something new though. Right now I have a recipe planned (and new equipment) to use 3724 and bring the temp up to about 90 over the course of a day or so and at the end of a week if it hasn't...

    I accidentally made a sour, questions about the yeast

    And it actually came out really well. I have some questions about what this means going forward. It started life as Wyeast 3711. Just been getting into saisons recently and this is a killer yeast. I harvest yeast from my starters and until now I haven't had any issues in almost a year. I...

    Leaky 10 Gallon Igloo mash Tun

    Need some help. I started off following this guide https://www.homebrewtalk.com/f51/cheap-easy-10-gallon-rubbermaid-mlt-conversion-23008/[1] Before I realized that there was a difference between the 10 gallon Rubbermaid and the Igloo that I ended up with. So I went back to the store and...
