Pretty impressed with this saison, made with Lallemand's Farmhouse yeast. Made a mess of the pour though, it's normally clear.

An oatmeal stout with a head, that's impressive. Mine are always as flat as an (oatmeal) pancake.

Dunkelweizen now!

Brown porter now...

Back on the sauce. Home brew Thwaite's Nutty Black.

Food for thought in this thread: I may have the answer to the cause of occasional infections. Brew days start with a run of some cold water through the pump to look for signs it hadn't been cleaned properly at the end of the previous sessions. Any bits or discolouration and it's out with the...

I notice that they also have a Four Priests Murgy Straight kit from @chopps 's recipe.

My idea was to use a yeast that would give an apple/pear flavour (e.g. WLP023, as above) and pitch the Kveik later to provide the attenuation.

Could this be a job for Kveik? Use a 'normal' yeast to get the flavour profile and then after, say, four days lob a Kveik in. As long as you choose one that eats maltotriose you'd get the attenuation. I know you said you didn't want to mix but it's an option if Lallemand doesn't come up with...

Yes, agreed, I'm keen to see the results.

The yeast should be interesting. I haven't used the CML Lille one, but in my experience, Saison yeast doesn't stop at 1.010.

Cobra tap has fallen apart, shortly after the Pluto gun failed so there's no keg beer at chez Scrattajack at the moment. I do have a flow control disconnect which arrived today in anticipation, but it needs a modification to the corny kegs and Mrs. S took it off me, along with the hacksaw...

Don't think it took into account the amount of power it would take to charge a car in a few minutes and then have car after car "filling up" on the forecourts in succession as they do now for fossil fuels. I take your point about progress but there is uncertainty involved. Even if it's...

It's a case of "if this and if that then maybe...", relying on technology we don't yet have. And if we did, would that not mean a massive upgrade of the National Grid, with all of the environmental implications?

A Merry Yule to all and may your festive concoctions turn out well!

Most Saison yeasts have the STA1 gene allowing them to slowly eat dextrins that other yeasts can't. As far as I know, though, there aren't any natural dextrins in cider. Therefore my guess would be hop creep.
