Enjoying your eisbock! Lovely chewy marshmallow and plummy malt going on. Is it oaked at all? I'm not very familiar with the style tbh so can't comment to that effect. Certainly has a concentrated bockness going on. Anyway, cheers. Halfway pissed off it already. I'll send yours back over soon...

Dunno, I think the guys in branch maybe waived it for me. I get it through West Highland gas in oban.

Air liquide I think is who I use, not charged rental as such, I think I'm charged about 14 quid for 7kg.

Can't help you out all sounds like a foreign language. Except for the "mashing technique", my favourite. Just wanted to compliment you on your topic naming skills. To you. There are some boots barrel threads on this site though if you search, someone might have posted some info there.

Depends who you listen to and the condition of the fv. I'd definitely go over the top on cleaning it afterwards, say a rub and soak with caustic then bleach should be fine. The sour pitch did seem real quick so you might want to just copitch with the yeast maybe? I've also seen the idea of a...

Sour pitch is really good. Sounds doable, although I'm not sure I agree that the souring makes a faster beer, and Berliner is more a summer drink for my tastes, otherwise sure why not. I used a half pack of sour pitch on a kettle sour wit base blueberry thing and it was well soured in 18hrs at 37.

That's pretty standard my way. A guy in a suit would be stranger. Last time out on my bike it was eagle, pine Marten red squirrel Deer. No people at all, although im talking mountain bike not commuting. Few months ago when my brother was over we went out on the bikes vaguely intending on...

Honestly I wouldn't even bother unless you can do closed transfers to purged kegs. If not then my advice is to add no wheat and very not too much flaked anything, a little flaked barley or oats seems ok. 10 percent or so. The consensus on cacl gypsum ratios isn't all that clear. Some go one way...

Lovely. Think my Brett thing sounds like it's in exactly the same state.

Hmm, im afraid the barley wine isnt share worthy (except to drunk houseguests at bedtime). It's based off a wild capture, but something has turned to the dark side. Interesting, but not in a great way... The sour cherry (no actual fruit) Brett type thing is quite interesting in a good way...

We all understand the anxious worrying of first time beerfather's, but there should be a big banner on forums saying IF IS YOUR FIRST BREW IT'S PROBABLY DOING QUITE FINE... so you don't post the same questions everyone does.. only joking. I don't mind doling out pearls of wise wisdom to novices...

It's not the worst use of money but you could build one for basically free given a soldering iron and a scrap computer. Don't even really need the soldering iron tbh. Might have to spend a quid or two on some kind of resistor, but can probably avoid even that by hooking random stuff up in the...

You can't take an og anymore that so has sailed. As I said it looks like your og was about right, but then you aread sugar which will have taken it up by 11 points. The sugar won't affect the fg much as it's so fermentable. Your beer will likely be about 1.5 percent abv stronger than you expected

Did you correct for temperature of the wort when you read it? or cool it? if not a 65c wort at .030 corrected is about .046 which assuming 10ltr boiled down to 7 gives a new og of 1.066, which is pretty close. however adding that sugar will give about 11 points, so 1.077.

either sounds fine, however i need to dust out a bottle of it to see if its actually any good. i almost chucked it at one stage but left it and a couple of people said it was good a few months ago, but you cant really trust drunk palettes. i will report back

would like that indeed.

That is bordering on sexual assault

I object to the term grow some balls. Phallocentic manocratic genitaliist hate speech

Sounds super. PM me your particulars. Let me know if you want any EKG for 15 a kilo and I can stick that in. I say lambicish, but I can't taste much of the lacto bugs I pitched, but the Brett strains went well.
