Ditto. I've done a few Wit's with WB-06, and it's done the business.

Supposedly, it's the Charles Well's Brewery. I've used it twice, and was really happy with the beer it produced.

I struggle to take them seriously when their beer festivals serve such awful beer. Somebody should tell them that the quality of beer is paramount, and how it's served is secondary.

Give the Cambridge Blue a look, it's in Gwydir Street. Fairly large selection, including Belgian beers.

Just a quick review of the 'SNPA-ish' beer I made with the 'Joystick' yeast. I bottled this on the 24/10, so I thought it was about time I had a sample, or two. Beer pours nice and clear ( I don't use any finings besides protafloc ), with a sweet malt and Cascade aroma. The flavour follows the...

I brewed this today, using A18 Joystick ( thanks, Geterbrewed ):- Pale Malt 5 Kg Crystal 150 EBC 400 g Warrior Hops 24g @ 60 mins Cascade Hops 30g @ 10 mins Cascade Hops 50g @ steep Cascade Hops 45g @ dry hop OG 1.053 FG 1.013 ABV 5.1% EBU 51 Currently tucked up in the brew fridge @...

I could find a good home, and many uses, for any of these, so count me in.

A24 is supposedly a blend of Sach. Brux Trois and Conan yeasts, so getting something very similar from a dry yeast would be tough. Lallemand produce a New England style yeast, which I've never used, which might be worth reading up on. I always re-use liquid yeast a few times, making it good...

I'm about to order some base malt and other stuff from you, and I'd be happy to review Four Square, Joystick, Sovereign or Triple Double.

I've a friend who went to the Doctor's with the shakes, and he was asked about his caffeine consumption. 'How much tea do you drink ?' the Dr asks. ' oh, six or seven a day' says my friend. 'Cups or mugs ?' says the Dr. 'Pots' says my friend. I like tea, but not that much.

Leave it to ferment out. The wort may have been lacking in certain minerals and/or oxygen, but I'd be surprised if you have an infection.

I wouldn't worry about clarity pre-fermentation. I do 'short 'n' shoddy' 1/2 hour mash/1/2 hour boil stovetop brews, everything gets tipped in the FV, and they all turn out crystal clear. And if they don't ? as long as they taste good, why worry ?

Damn, I bought one this week at full price.

@Llamaman All-grain, but Belle Saison will quite happily ferment your old gym socks, if allowed. They all turned out well, if a little dry. Best of luck with the brew.

I've used Belle Saison three times, and it's fermented out to 1.000 each time, so I wouldn't add any dextrose.

What you getting flavour-wise from the Gales yeast ?

Sugars go in the boil. Most people add them with 15 minutes remaining.

Another thumbs up for the Kolsch yeast. I brewed a Kolsch/Cream Ale hybrid with a couple of packets of CML Kolsch yeast, and even after a only fortnight in the bottle it's a winner. Maybe the slightly aged Tettnang hops aren't showing up much, but the malt character is really good. I'll be...

I dry hopped at 20c. Mine turned out hazy ( I used a kilo of flaked wheat and a little flaked oats ). I knew before brewing this that my 2016 Mosaic weren't anything special, as I'd done a poor APA with 100g beforehand, replicating a recipe I'd done last year with 100g of 2012 Mosaic leaf, whch...

I made an NEIPA with the yeast kindly supplied by Beercat. Fermented at 37c, it finished pretty quickly, and it's now been in the bottle just shy of a fortnight. Unfortunately, some of the hops I used aren't really pulling their weight, the Mosaic in particular being a bit subdued. The cheeky...
