Re: Homebrewers - Whats in the fermeter?
Brewing the sour half of a Berliner Weiss this evening. 2 gallons of wort going onto a cup or two of pilsner malt for to get the lacto culture going. Also going to pitch some jolly pumpkin dregs into it.
Friday I'll brew 3 gallons of the same wort and pitch a kolsch yeast into it. When they both finish up I'll blend them over raspberries or something. Should be a killer lawnmower beer come end of July and August. |

I've got a blonde (AG) and an amber (extract) in primary right now. Probably bottle the blonde this weekend and I've got plans to brew a big IIPA on April 13th so I'll probably reuse the yeast cake on the amber for that one.

Re: Homebrewers - Whats in the fermeter?
so far so good. 21 hours from completion of racking to the primary, used liquid wyeast, fermenting like a champ

Re: Homebrewers - Whats in the fermeter?
Looking at taking the plunge when I get back from deployment. Debating how far I want to jump. Keg vs bottle. Extract vs all-grain. Decisions, decisions. Suggestions? Can I keg and bottle? I have about two months to make a decision.

Also, it had to much spice profile. Both of these are "out of style" for a Belgian Dubble. I enjoyed it . Was cool to get feedback. |

Brewed a Pale Ale with 4 ounces of Cascade hops, this weekend.

You can bottle from a keg. Don't think you need to get a beer gun. Search for a DIY counter pressure bottle filler. |

I will look into working that out. I do have a bit of time. Guess I'll start extract. All-grain eventually. |
Re: Homebrewers - Whats in the fermeter?
Homebrew Herfest II on Saturday with icantbejon, Matt, and Doug (from Winston's Humidor fame,) all brewing up different beers:
http://www.cigarasylum.com/vb/showpo...postcount=1664 JohnnyKay5 was on remote with us from NC doing his first brew :banger I brewed up a Rauchbier/Smoked Octoberfest which smelled incredible in the kettle, pitched it on top of a bock yeastcake and the thing took off almost immediately. Ferg brewed a Kolsch, and at the end of the day we combined our second runnings into a smaller batch which I cooked up later that evening and pitched with some Bell's yeast. It's still not doing anything in the fermenter, so maybe that experiment will be a bust. It was one ugly looking beer anyway :D |

Hot alcohols (fusels generally) can be formed from fermenting too warm and not pitching enough yeast. Reading up on Belgian brewing it seems like a lot of the breweries start fermentation cool to keep fusels down and then let the temps ramp up later in the process. |
