    Crossmyloof "Hell" Lager Yeast - opinions

    The idea is to add fresh is to avoid off flavours from secondary fermentation in the bottle. If you lager for a whilecthere may not be enough yeast left to carbonate as fast as normal. You can also carbonate lager at room temperature then put them in the fridge. Hope that makes sense. There is a...

    Crossmyloof "Hell" Lager Yeast - opinions

    I find there is always a straw flavour from bottle conditioning. I think its oxidisation and not table sugar. I keg all mine now but occasionally do a test and its always there. You could try adding fresh yeast when you bottle. Use a pippet to dose each bottle.

    The Mixed Fermentation Thread

    This is my six month old Flanders. Something to drink while i am waiting for the others. Did not have a lot of flavour after 3 months but there is plenty now. Its continued to mature even in the cold of my garage which is handy as i have run out of space. I have one of the fermonsters like you...

    The Mixed Fermentation Thread

    I have been making lacto starters. The high cell count can sour a beer after it finishes at 1010. No hops though. Just got the sour weapon pedio but have not tried it yet.

    The Mixed Fermentation Thread

    They seem to say six months which is what i did. I went 3 IBU but even that must of been too much as its only mildly sour. I dry hopped and oaked it, next time i wont add any hops until then. Complex though and tastes like its been nicely aged. Lots of fruit.

    Ban on new petrol and diesel cars in UK from 2030 under PM's green plan

    I suggest we find a way of storing our farts to power cars with.

    The Jugernaut fermented Imagine a beer mixed with mushroom tea! :vomitintoilet: @Joust Voss can easily go to 13%. Steve did 16% and i managed 15.5% by using amylase. You need a highly fermentable wort. i mash really low, 20% sugar and some flaked barley or wheat. I shake the crap out of it in...

    Using lots of Oats and Wheat?

    Wheat and flaked oats as not much of a fan of crystal. Wheat is great in everything though even lagers.

    Has anyone tried Juggernaut yet? I have had some very tasty beers made it and its a week turnaround. I have just pitched some at 8c and its now warming up to 35c for a 2 day ferment. Its a no boil beer and this time i tasted the wort and noticed quite a lot of bitterness from a 75c steep. I...

    Strange-steve's Homebrew Reviews

    Its actually a bit older than i thought, brewed end of August and bottled 2 months ago. Most of the flavour seems to develop in the first month before it hits final gravity because of the lager pitching rate for the brett and the gluco. You can bottle with a different brett for variation, i...
