After 48 hours the lacto smells good and has a nice sour taste looks like a kettle sour this weekend any suggestions
brewed up a Beliner Weisse smells good and has a nice taste
Did you kettle sour or souring in the carboy?

Just mashed in 10g of Dry Stout, using the new immersion chiller for the first time.

Nice to get back into it, haven't brewed since Christmas!

Brewing a NEPA today with Simcoe, southern cross and azacca. LAIII. Also dry hopping my Brett Grisette that's been aging on mangoes with a bunch of Nelson.

I doubt I'm doing it according to a style profile. I basically made a Belgian strong ale wort ~5 gal, going to ferment with us 05 until activity stops.

Then rack it to a 6.5 gal secondary with ~1.5 gal of white grape juice with a extra sugar added, pitch a pack or two of EC 1118 yeast and see how it turns out.

Sounds interesting

You need to save a taste for us - could be educational...

Trying out Nordic Farmhouse recipe #3. I've ramped up a lot more dark malts and cedar tips. I'm going to split it in two and try one with hothead and one with kviek and see the difference.

Getting busy now that everyone is on the mend. Kegged a NEPA last night and got two starters going for a split brew day. Half will be a Blonde(ish) for my father in law fermented with LAIII and the other half will be a pale sour base fermented with White Labs House Sour Blend. Finished a nnew recipe for another Milkshake IPA.

Had a busy day today...
I brewed a batch of maple beer with all sap. Then I went for a hike to collect 7 gallons of birch sap brought it home and packed it in snow for an upcoming brew. Then like a fool I decided to brew a second batch...  :o
I won't be doing that again any time soon...

Had a double brew weekend recently with a good friend - testing out his new brewstand that he had built here in Malawi. Pushed through a Blue Moon clone and a Bells Two Hearted IPA clone.


Meanwhile I just cracked into a pale ale I brewed early March and dry-hopped with some Malawi-grown cascade hops that I managed to grow over here (first time I think that's happened!). Turned out pretty great and 'pale-ale-ish'


The first few sips obviously went down well.
