I'm in! Thanks for the opportunity, Spike!:mug:

I brewed an American brown ale with the vial I got from Badlee. It worked great. Overripe/mushy tropical fruit aroma, and now starting to get some mousy barnyard character. I like the different flavors it contributes, and will definitely add it to some of my sours next. Thanks Badlee! I'll try...

I've had great luck with Berliner Weisse using extract. I don't use hops in mine, so there's no need to do a 90 minute boil. I boil for 10 minutes, cool, pitch lacto, and then pitch a fruity brett strain (trois/custersianus/etc) after about a week. They're drinkable in about 2 weeks, and sour as...

I'm mainly hoping to add some to my sours. I haven't been able to get my hands on any yet, so I can't speak to it's use. Thanks for the warning against the 100% IPA. I've got a Brett Trois IPA that came out pretty well, so I was thinking about doing the same some time if I can get some custersianus.

Old thread, but I've been trying to get a hold of Custersianus for a little while. I haven't been able to snag any ECY, but would you be willing to trade for some of Cascade's lacto, which I've grown up from Sang Noir dregs? It's a pretty quick-working aggressive lacto strain, which I've used to...

Jameson. We're snowed in with no power. It's great!

Brosnan (hey, another bond)

A Russian Imperial Stout at the Powerhouse. Great for a snowy day. Bourbon barrel aged deliciousness!

Hooray!

Russia

That's a great idea. Lesson learned!

Stone IPA is a great beer. Not too big on ranger, but it's not at all bad.

Young dark IPA/CDA home brew. English hops, and pretty tasty.

I usually brew early, but sometimes I'll squeeze a batch in after work when there's not much going on the next day, and I can sleep in. This is a great recipe, but the syrup was dark as f***. I thought about throwing some water in and boiling, but then figured it would come out with WAY too...

I started brewing this last night, and had my biggest brewing blunder EVER. I mashed, sparged, and started to heat my boil. I then came inside to watch TV with my wife, who apparently thought I was done. I fell asleep, and about 6 hours later, she woke me up to ask what that "bready" smell was...
