Hey Mavs, how'd brew day go?  I'm actually gearing up for a pumpkin wheat meself, brew day's probably Friday.  Haven't done any lagers yet, but that'll change soon enough :laugh:

That sounds delicious. Are you going to use a Witbier or Hefe yeast and have all those crazy phenolics or are you going to just use a wheat-heavy grain bill and a standard American yeast strain?

Phenolics make me think of agaricus californicus....  Ridiculously phenolic.

Cold crashing shouldn't kill your yeast, or you'd have to repitch after every cold crash before bottling.  Bottles always carbonate after a cold crash for me.  I will agree though, cold crash after diacetyl rest, leaves more active yeast in suspension to scrub sulfur compounds.





I didn't say cold crashing killed your yeast, I said they would either be dead or dormant, and that statement is still 100% correct. Cold crashing doesn't kill them, but with a properly managed fermentation regimen, by the time you're done with your cold crash a majority of the yeast will be dormant, and some will be dead.  Of course you can still pitch from that, but you have to realize you're not at 100% viability after the initial generation. Ever.

Haha nah I like Wyeast enough. I am partial to White Labs though because they have an office in the same building as my brewery so I can get unlimited free homebrew vials of any strain I want. When you buy a 70L pitch once every other month they tend to treat you right.

Doing a partial mash,50% wheat and 50% german pils, 2 lbs wheat DME and a 29 oz can pumpkin, and WB-06 dry yeast(yeah, yeah...), and some McCormic's pumpkin pie spice at knock out, prolly 1 tsp.  I may have to add some more at bottling, we'll see.  Oh and I'm useing 1oz tettnanger at 60 mins and .5 oz saaz at 30 mins as well.  Looks to be a pretty big beer, well for a 3 gallon batch any way.

My LHBS was closed yesterday when it was supposed to be open.  Dunno what was up with that but I'll swing back by today to check, gotta pick up the yeast.  I think I might have time today to do my brew.

Bummer!  I'm actually getting mine going today, just roasted the pumpkin and waiting for it to cool a bit before I mash in.

I'm going to turn my lager into an ale.  I haven't brewed it yet so, by turning it from lager to an ale I mean, I'm buying aleyeast... :p  And a little more munich.  So I am adding 2lb of munich to that and it should give it a little more flavor.  :laugh:

Yeah Dilbert.  Got it.  When you score even one brew over 40, then we can talk seriously.  Till then, your name is Dilbert.

So, you aren't really a snob after all.

Just practical.

Kudos.

White labs and wyeast are the same price here...  I got white labs california ale yeast this time (decided to make this into an ale instead of a lager because I have so little time to do monitoring while in school).  So far so good on the fermentation, can't wait to try it, it smells delicious.

Youre such a retard. I have secured numerous 1st places over the past five years. If this is a dick-measuring contest, I suspect that youre going to lose.

You can't even get the yeast brand names right. Fuck, there's not even many out there and you still fuck it up. God help anyone who is subjected to whatever horse piss is concocted in your outhouse-cum-brewery

So far so good, I'm actually drinking a beer that I brewed prior to this post!  (I finally deemed it ready this week).  It's a roasty IPA.  :smile:

Color after racking to secondary for a dry hopping.  (Will be using gelatin to clarify it pre-bottle).


Going to bottle half of it with regular priming sugar and the other half with maple syrup to see how it is.  I really liked the taste of it, so I Don't want to do the entire thing with maple.

What the fuck is it with homebrewers thinking that gold medals are the only way to measure if your beer is good? All a medal means is that the beer was brewed to fit a style category guideline, it really has nothing to do with exceptional flavor.

I've never entered a competition nor do I plan to.  I'm more about brewing batches for me and friends that we can all enjoy.  I can perfect the taste through means of opinions and careful modifications to recipes until I dial into what I want.

Fortunately I like a huge variety of different styles of ales and lagers, stouts, porters, saisons wheats and anything else that exists.

Got it bottled, used maple syrup Grade B for priming sugar!  The clarity is there, I used Gelatin as a fining agent this time!  Will do a whirlfloc next brew.
