Last fall I propagated Rochefort yeast from a bottle of Rochefort 8. I actually did this also in 2017 with Westmalle yeast and in 2018 with St.-Bernardus yeast, but I documented it better with the Rochefort yeast. The reason I show it here is don't have a stirplate (might come, I discovered I...

To explain hop creep in short, hops also contain alpha- and beta-amylases, the same enzymes which are responsible for turning starches and dextrins into fermentable sugars. When dry hopping, the rest sugars and dextrins in the wort, which could not be fermented by the yeast, are then also turned...

I am busy designing a brew with a single mash and a double boil, effectively brewing two different beers from a single mash. Since this is for summer, these would be (relatively) low alcohol beers, one a saison and the other one I would like to derive from the wort would be a best bitter. I...

To show a bit of my gear and the way I brew in my kitchen. I am currently busy propagating Rochefort yeast, and since I do not have a stir plate, I do it in different phases, where in the last three I actually brew some beer. The first one is only 4 bottles, but the next is sixteen bottles, and...

In the Easter holiday we would spend a couple of days in London, and will probably book in the Holiday Inn. Which pub in that vicinity would you recommend for a familial evening, eating with the wife and daughter, and tasting beer?

I have bought six dry abbey beer yeasts, but Bulldog's B19 has the least information. Anyone used it already, and what results did you have?

What I have in mind is to compare six dry abbey yeasts. These can be grouped in three pairs, with apparent attenuation (appr.) 75%, 80% en 85%. I will have three brewing sessions, where I will brew enough to split in two and then use each yeast of the pairs. But, if I brew three times the same...

I am a fan of Terry Pratchett. That is why I chose this name. I had brewed this to be ready for the Christmas days, after six months it is pretty drinkable. Strong Ale II - Strong Scotch Ale (9E) ================================================================================ Batch Size...

Notes: This is for 6 liter bottled I do not use batch sparging, but fly sparging After primary fermentation, I move this over to secondary for a couple of weeks to get a more clear beer. This is the fourth version, the other three were good, but I found out I have rather English hops than...

Anyone here who made muscadet wine yet? I would like to know what kind of wine yeast would be best for this. Kitzinger has a range of yeasts, but nothing specifically muscadet.

And of course you might wonder what someone from Belgium does on an English forum? I am also a member of the Flemish and Dutch forums, but I need input and ideas from other places too. And when I was reading this forum I saw a topic of someone who spends this New Years' Eve at Bruges, so I...
