That sounds juicyyy

Well, for me it was more on the peppery side (BE-134). Some clove and some fruity esters notes to it, maybe a little dank or tart on the nose. My first attempt (which is the reason I created the thread) was fermented around 75 (approximation). In my second attempt I was completely careless with...

Pd: Obviously sanitizing everything, so my yeast doesn't get contaminated. I could just use a sanitized spoon to fill a US cup, and with the same spoon, just pick up the remaining trub and yeast and throwing it away. I know it sounds like a waste, but the mason jar with yeast in the fridge is a...

Perfect, his discussion just convinced and made me feel good about not washing yeast anymore, it is really time-consuming and I was getting tired of it. I think I'll use about a US cup of slurry or less and clean the rest. What do you guys think about skipping the mason jar part and just...

Hello Everyone I have a question regarding yeast harvesting. I'm a lazy individual, but I've been washing my yeast for at least three batches. I heard that you can directly pitch new wort into the yeast cake from another beer, and I have a kveik ale (Voss Kveik Yeast) currently fermenting (no...

Little update Well the beer tastes fine, and I'm still waiting for the strong fruit flavor to mellow out. The color is strange hahaha it's not ruby red. It kind of looks like grapefruit juice, and it kind of tastes like grapefruit juice (guess that the combination of mango and hibiscus went...

Forgot to say that I also have some Citra, Mosaic, and motueka on my freezer

Hello everyone !! Ok, I just bought 4 oz each of these hops, and well..... I have no idea what to do with them hahaha (I just bought them impulsively). I was thinking of maybe making a NEipa with all the azacca at whirlpool and maybe dry hopping Sabro and Nelson Sauvin. I have never used these...

I'm arriving a little late to the conversation, but I completely agree with everything said in the thread, looks like normal fermentation to me. Post updates on the beer !! I'm also a new brewer, I've been brewing since last October haha

Little update, I ended bottling the beer, and well it was one of my best brews yet. Really nice flavor with a round body, nothing extremely dry. I truly enjoy the flavor BE-134 gives a beer. I ended up brewing another Saison because I had another pack of BE-134 ( with Tettnang for bittering...

Btw is you got any suggestions in terms of hop schedule I would appreciate it. I'm looking for low bitterness and some nice flavor/aroma to got with the tart from the hibiscus and mango. Maybe utilizing two hops from the ones I mentioned.

Thank you guys !! I think you two gave me all the information I needed. I'll give you updates and some pictures if the beer turns out fine

Also, what's your opinion on canned fruit?

So for my 4 gal batch what would you recommend? using juice? I usually brew 3/3.5 gal batches and from time to time a 5 gal so I can spend less time bottling (I just dislike the process of bottling as a whole, as soon as I have the money I will buy a keg). I'm doing a 4 gal batch because I was...

Correction * 5 lb Viking pilsner malt and 3 lbs of Viking wheat malt

Hello everyone !! I've been thinking of brewing a Hibiscus mango Wheat Ale, but I'm having some trouble with the mango addition. I live in the tropics, so I have fresh mango almost constantly. Still, I have been reading a lot about frozen mango, canned mango, and even people who trow juice in...

What timeframe would you recommend ???

So basically, I need to leave it more time to ferment? It's weird because through my first 10 batches I always bottle when the FG is stable, but now that I started reading through the website I see that my FG was pretty high for a saison

Btw the mash was trough BIAB

Hello everyone Last month I brewed my first Saison with BE-134 yeast, the only problem is that my FG wasn't as low as I expected. I fermented my beer around 75 degrees the whole time (I live in the tropics and I can't control fermentation) and also the FG was constant through two weeks straight...
