I think when we started this in late 2016 there was a hall of fame but no one kept it going IIRC.

haha yeah. I think ordering a pack of lutra from Malt Miller will do for now!

I do have some yeasts sitting in my fridge. I did a co-pitch of philly sour and WY3056 Bavarian Wheat Blend. I've got no more kviek left but think I'll give it a miss for a while. Still waiting for Yeaster Bunny to get back to me.

Awesome, will send my address.

I did my double brew yesterday and took the first 500ml runnings after the mash to "wake up" my kveik flakes. I was pitching hornindal farmhouse strain which I bought from the Yeaster Bunny and put straight in my freezer. I took them out at the beginning of the day, and once my 500ml of starter...

So far it's all sounding great. I've sent out a few PMs for addresses already, but let me know if you want my address to send the beers to.

I have one unopened pack of kviek flakes so will do an experiment. I'm brewing a gose tomorrow and will ferment 5 litres with kviek and see how it comes out compared to the one fermented with regular yeast.

Hi everyone, we're almost a month complete into 2022 which means February's dark beer competition is upon us. It's looking like I'll be judging the weekend of 12/13th March, so plenty of time to submit your beers. I do really like all dark styles and am looking forward to tasting them! I'll see...

There are different types of lactobacillus which contribute different flavours. The lacto in Ebbegarden (I think I read there are 2 lacto strains in Ebb?) are desirable and add a nice clean sourness to the beer, and I chose this yeast (also from Yeaster Bunny) to make a sour beer. I've ordered...

I used to brew exclusively with kveik and made a range of really good beers with it, sours, goses, pales, pseudo lagers mostly. Then I started to get this really weird flavour in beers, and for almost a year all my batches were coming out bad. I thought I had an unmovable infection and wrote a...

Thanks for the reminder, I completely forgot. I have registered my gose.

I use jackfruit a fair amount in cooking and young jackfruit/the majority of tinned jackfruit doesn't have a fruity flavour. I've heard there are the actual fruits at Costco and I've also seen one at an Asian food store in Archway. Whilst you may not be near North London, it sounds like...

Has it arrived and have you had a chance to use it yet?

Thanks for sharing! I think Malt Miller has something similar for about £70 which I'm considering. I might look into this as it's a lot cheaper!

I want to enter in a sour beer as I've had quite a lot of success with those recently, however knowing my luck the first batch to go bad will be the one I enter into the competition :laugh8:. Is that the one you can stick in a tap and is quite small? If so do you have a link? I went to a few...

Thanks everyone for your input, it's given me plenty to think about and after measuring and adjusting pH of the last 2 brews, it's actually no effort and am interested to see what the outcome for both is. One of the brews is a Belgian dark tripel and the other is a stout. I didn't actually have...

Hi everyone, I've started taking pH measurements of my mash and was wondering how important this actually was? I've done it for one brew and it was 5.6pH, which is a little high, so I added small amounts of this winemaking acid blend I have to reduce it to 5.4pH. How important is it to control...

My second beer: another Belgian style which is by no means a bad thing 😁. Dark, lightly carbonated, good clarity, but most importantly good flavour. Nutty, caramel, estery and quite dry. I enjoyed drinking this and it also got the thumbs up from my dad who I shared it with. Thanks for sending.

A nice beer, some sweetness balanced with a smooth bitterness with subtle yeast esters. Thanks for sending this, I shared it with my dad who also enjoyed it.

Thanks for your kind words and glad you enjoyed it!
