I brewed a batch a while back with Nottingham and bottle dregs from a few lambics & local sours. Bottled some with priming sugar and some without a couple of weeks ago. When I checked on them just now, all the bottles I primed have this odd gradient where they're darker at the top. Blurry...

Anybody use this in a recipe yet? https://parishrice.com/ It's a high-protein, low-G.I. rice. I assume the different mix of carbohydrates resulting in the lower glycemic index would still get converted in the mash, but the higher protein could have an effect on foam, mouthfeel, etc. Thoughts?

So here's my crazy scheme: For a 6.5 L batch: 500g wildflower honey 300g honey, toasted to medium brown 300g honey, toasted to quite dark Targeting an OG about 1.045. Boil in the water: 8g Progress @ 30 min 10g Styrian Golding @ 15 min Nutrients per TOSNA for English Ale Yeast (WLP002 or...

I've been reading around the various internet fora, and recipes seem to vary a fair bit — is there any consensus on dosing rate for coffee in a "session" mead (i.e., 7 - 8% range)?

I just added fruit to my batch of lambic-inspired mixed-ferm (Bootleg's Sour Solera blend) ale --- how important is it to punch down the fruit? I'm concerned that reopening the fermenter will just increase oxygen and exposure.

Just had to share: our first successful kombucha. Green tea base, table sugar, then bottled with strawberry and basil.

Hey all, So I'm trying to do my first lacto-fermented root beer, and I was wondering if anyone had had their soda turn ropey? I'm doing a take on the process on Wildcrafted Brewer. I made a strong tea, in effect, and used the whey from organic yogurt. I was trying to ferment directly in...

I recently relocated to OK, and have a question about the OKLAHOMA ABLE COMMISSION REQUEST FOR PERMISSION TO MAKE CIDER/WINE/BEER. I understand I have to have the form notarized and then mail it to ABLE. 3812 N Santa Fe Ave., Suite 200 Oklahoma City, OK 73118 Is there a fee for the permit...

If “wine” can be considered a collective term for fermented alcoholic beverages whose sugars came from fruit juice*, “beer” for those coming from grain starches, and “mead” for honey, what is the collective term for fermented beverages whose sugars come from sap? What would fermented maple sap...

Has anyone tried adding starches/complex sugars other than maltodextrin to extract recipes for lambic-inspired beers?

Anyone in greater Montgomery (Alabama) got an extra corker that needs a good home?

Northern Brewer's Gigawort seems like it could be the perfect size to handle my normal BIAB batches (4 to 8 L). What's they latest thinking in the hivemind on this model? Are there any quirks to be aware of before getting one? Any tips from folks who've been using them?

I'm plotting a sour with plums ... sort of a poor man's Quetsche Tilquin. Some sources say to pit stone fruit before adding (to prevent over bittering), others say you can leave the pits in (to add a subtle woodiness). What does the HBT hivemind think?

I have a decent collection of 500ml "champagne/Belgian" beer bottles. (You know, the ones like these: Bottles - 500 ml (16.9 oz) Amber Champagne/Belgian Style - Case of 12 | MoreBeer ). They normally fit 26mm crown caps, but I love the look and aesthetic impression of cork-and-cage. Is it...

I pitched Imperial Kveiking into a 1.053-OG raw ale last night. And I was getting worried because I didn't see any activity today. But I checked the gravity, and it's already dropped to about 1.016 -- within about 5 points of BrewFather's estimated FG in about 18 hours. I guess the kräusen...

I stumbled across a funny beer label on the internet for a "Pure Lager Stout". http://www.vblcs.com/images/labels/vic/6.18/3.png I've done some googling, but so far I haven't found any details about what a lager stout would be. There's a mention of the term without further description in a...
