hey i recent;ly noticed that grain and grape had a brew course offered on their website, not sure if this has been covered but is it anygood.../ has anyone done it? I've already sort of read alot about brewing and done a fair bit so I'm just wondering if its worth doing/ what'll learn (I'm a...

dropped my beers round today and tried Q's brett saison and i've gotta say it tasted pretty damn awsome to my tastebuds.. Perfect for a hot summer day, looking forward to trying everyone elses and hope mine turns out okay I'd say mine need another month or so as there taking a while to carb up...

hey guys yeah sorry it'll be there by the afternoon today

i've recently got into the sour beers aswell, i don't have much experience with lacto by itself but i've recently (as in yesturday) brewed a 100% brett C beer with galaxy and acidulated malt... which i was going for a sour tropical fruity beer, so i'll post back with results after a few weeks...

yeah this may not be an infection as i actually get something similar with yeast clinging to the side of the bottles but my beers taste fine... anyway i've never had an infection before but apparently you'd be able to taste it straight away, could the champagny flavour be from high fermentation...

i'm no expert so i'll say it lokks like it could be lacto or acetobacteria and it also looks like a 100% brett c beer i just brewed so possibly brett aswell??? if you don't mind funky/ sour beers you could age it and see if it turns good

hey sorry been a while been really busy yeah haven't started tasting much really although like yours mine strted very tropical fruity but now has something else going on... we'll see though that was around 2 months ago... PS. when is the swap happening? i'm fairly cramped for time atm

my all-brett pellicle (at least pellicle like stuff) just dropped so will bottle soon smells completly differant to a month ago looking forward to trying it :D

As an extract brewer aswell and someone who wants to learn his ingrediants i think its good to do single hop apa's I've done cascade, styrian goldings, Nelson Sauvin, and galaxy all with the same base (350g 60L Crystal and 250g CArapils) So I think the key is just to do it then find what hops...

ok haven't read this for a but i think it may be butters point with excess overpitching as i've recently moved to a 15litre fermentor which is the only change (which i forgot about) and i do re-use the cake so would be way way to much yeast so thanks alot and yes having cloudy beer sucks when...

hmmn yer i thought that also but flavour wise they are some of the best beers i've made and don't have any sign of infection as far as taste goes

I'm an extract brewer and usually have clear beers then lately i started getting chill haze which i'm not to fussed about but the last 2 brews iv done iv had the beer cloudy the whole time haven't changed anything in the way i brew at all although both beers which came out cloudy were from the...

yer thats right mine was just the smack pack... yer it will be interesting to taste the differance mines not tasting like i thought it would atm but its completly changed its flavour in the last month or so

far out haha how large was your starter

iv just skim read the whole thread but i kinda like the idea of re-pitching onto the whole yeast cake multiple times and seeing if my yeast gets a 'house character' going to try it for at least 6 times

just brewed an pale ale, my first time using galaxy but went for a combo instead of single hop will see how it goes with styrian goldings and cascade 15litre's 1.5kg DME 500g Light Crystal 60L 10g Galaxy@60 10g Galaxy @15 10g Styrian@15 10g Cascade@15 US-05 (ps. is this a pale ale or an IPA...
