    Aged hops for true lambic.

    Hey guys, I've read a lot about not necessarily needing aged hops for lambics given the fact that you're pitching a healthy number of desired bugs. I want to deviate from that as I'm not pitching anything here. I'm going to do a small test batch and leave it out overnight by a window in...

    Happoshu

    Good morning friends, I thought I might try brewing a happoshu, but I guess I'm a little unclear on the guidelines here. From what I understand is malt can only make up 65% of the fermentables, (67% by some sources). What I'm not so sure of is if this percentage includes malted adjuncts like...

    CASK Berliner Weisse?

    Hey guys, I'm working on a few brews for my wedding next summer, one of which will be a berliner weisse. I'd would like to cask it but I'm not confident that a secondary fermentation in a cask, with a beer that's only 3.2% abv, will have enough sugars to carb it to anywhere near what it...

    Bung Issues

    So I happen to have Golden-Gate style pony keg. It has two valves (one on top, on side bottom) and a bung on the side in the middle. The valve stems are permanent and cannot be removed; filling is done through the bung. I kegged a wee-heavy today, inserted a new wooden bung, and pressurized...

    Pacific Gem hops in Washington State

    I have yet to try these, but they seem to be particularly suited to my tastes; based on descriptions I've read. Trouble is I can't seem to find them anywhere, let alone Washington. And Washington has that hop quarantine going on still, so I apparently can't get them out of state anyway. BUT a...

    How do I open this keg? What type of valve is this?

    Okay, I was given this Anheuser-Busch pony keg the other day. It's got two of these valves on it. One on the top and one on the bottom side. It also has a bung on the side. I initially thought it was a U - type valve system, but I'm not so sure. And I can't figure out how to get that retainer...
