Thank you Rick, I will put all but one in the fridge when I get home. It will be interesting and a bit scary to say the least. The one gusher I opened didn't have much bite in the mouthfeel but hopefully that will come with some time in the fridge.
Joshua, thank you for that peace of mind. Do you have personal experience with such a thing? Right now the bottles, 650ml brown glass bombers, are at 68-70F in a room, out of light. I don't mind the beer being quite dry for the style, will it still carbonate though? How cold should I keep them and t...
The only Belle Saison yeast that I had left had been sitting open in the fridge for about three weeks. I for got that wine yeasts ferment different sugars and I was hoping for a nicely carbonated, champage-like fizz in my Saison. So are you telling me that I may have 12 650ml mini-carboys fermenting...
Thank you PistolPatch, that is reassuring to hear. I figured I was being hasty and dumb tasting it so early but after it's bottled I start getting antsy just to know what's going on. At least two weeks it is. Thank you, have a fine day good sir.
I tried finding this on the internet but am not sure what to actually query. I recently made a 2 gallon Saison using a ferm wrap. OG was 1.060, FG was 1.006 and I used Danstar Belle Saison yeast. I used dextrose/corn sugar to prime and used the the Northern Brewer priming sugar calculator as a guide...
Sounds good to me PP, thanks for the advice. I have still been making tasty brews indeed but I strive for excellence in taste and consistency/ease of replication. I feel like BrewToad works well with 5 gallon batches but the scaling feature is out of control on it. I now have the BIABacus and plan t...
Laxon, thank-you for your response. I would prefer not to sparge when doing BIAB if I can avoid it. I got into BIAB for less time and less expensive batches. Can you explain your mash-out and sparge procedure though? I am not sure what you mean by "in about 25% of the Total Water Needed". I have bee...
Hi guys and thank you. Mad Scientist: It is a low-integrity recipe, I came up with it (using BrewToad) hahaha!I need to get the Biabacus. Laxon: I will answer you as best as I can, I don;t quite understand all the jargon yet. I heated the strike water to 164F for a desired mash temperature of 154F. ...
Hi guys, I tried my fourth BIAB today and everything went smoothly except for my OG, it was way off target. I used BrewToad to come up with the recipe, an Imperial Brown Ale. The name on the site is "Snowed-In Tmperial Brown Ale" is anyone feels like checking it out and commenting. It's for a 2 gall...
Thanks guys. I WANT to use the Biabacus for this but as of now I don't have a program on my computer (actually my girlfriend's computer...I am fairly low tech) that will allow me to open it. That situation is one I hope to rectify soon so I can use the Biabacus. To 2Trout: Thank you for the advice. ...
Hi everyone, this will be my second BIAB batch and I am pretty pumped. I picked up William Bostwick and Jessi Rymill's "Beer Craft" book and it has been pretty helpful....except for when it comes to sparging. I want to make the recipe for the Saison that is in the books and have all the ingredients ...
Hey everybody, good to be on here. I have a few successful and a couple semi-successful AG brews using a mash-tun but am stoked to start doing one-gallon BIAB batches every week to get some recipes down and more experience quicker. I am sure I will be asking for loads of hacks and advice so thank-yo...
