4.5ish gallons of oatmeal stout wort at an OG of 1.059 - I'll add a bit more water to dilute it down to my target of 1.056, but that's about where I was aiming!

#homebrewing #beer

Brew day yet again - today's recipe is "Breakfast in Bed", an oatmeal stout (BJCP 16B). I figure it's definitely getting to the time of year for darker beers for one, and also that I'm not trying any more lagers until my basement is cold enough to deal with temperature spikes (or I can ferment in the garage).

Here goes nothing!

So, that "Bavarian IPA" we brewed 21 weeks ago. For reasons™ we opened the first bottle today. And I must say, it's very different from last year, when we gave it 7 weeks. The bitterness is really front and center now and the fruity hop aromas moved into the background. Very interesting result

Peshastin Saison. This beer was fermented with wild yeast that I caught from Saskatoon berries I picked on a hiking trail near Peshastin, WA.

The beer is a little bit fruity and very faintly tart. There's a nice maltiness despite it being fairly dry. It's a good culture that makes good beer, but nothing major is standing out here. I guess I'm quite fortunate to be able to kind of dismiss perfectly fine wild yeast cultures now, LOL

What's Your Leaven Worth?

This is a saison fermented with yeast I captured from wild cherries that I picked in Leavenworth, WA last summer. It's nice and fruity with a little bit of tartness. It's really a pleasant beer, especially after the freaking moth infestation ordeal.

It seems their leaven is indeed worth something. I should probably try to make some bread with it as well

#HomeBrewing #Beer #Saison #WildYeast

I'm drinking a glass of saison fermented with a wild culture I got from wild cherries growing near the river in Leavenworth, WA last summer. This is from a low fill at the end of the bottling line.

Yeast seems to have a little fruity funk, but also accentuates the malts a lot. This is an uncarbonated taste and there's some additional sweetness from the priming sugar so can't say anything for certain yet, but it's definitely interesting.

#WildYeast #Fermentation #Beer #HomeBrewing

Wild yeast Elderflower Wit. I have this on tap as well, but they always taste a little better out of the bottle for some reason.

#Beer #HomeBrewing #WildYeast #CurrentlyDrinking

The Peshastin Saskatoon yeast got happy overnight, LOL

The other two beers are in stainless so I don't know if they did similar things but they're all working the airlocks quite vigorously.

Here we go! Wild yeast capture attempts from mostly juniper berries collected on various hiking trails near(ish) Breckenridge, CO

#WildYeast #Fermentation #HomeBrewing

Picked some Juniper berries at Sapphire Point outside of Breckenridge CO. When I get home they'll go into a yeast starter and we'll see if we can get a good culture for making beer.

Bierbrauen war im Mittelalter eine typische Arbeit von Hausfrauen. Heute trägt ein echter Craft Bierbrauer Vollbart und Tatoos.

In the Middle Ages, brewing beer was typically a job for housewives. Today, a reall craft beer brewer has a full beard and tattoos.

Drinking some Tree Beer, turned out pretty well. Tree flavor is mild but present, some nice esters from the wild yeast, smooth mouthfeel from the flaked barley.

#HomeBrewing #CurrentlyDrinking #TreeBeer #WildYeast

So I decided to dry a bunch of the abbee culture. I made too thicc of a layer, it really grabbed the parchment paper and I had to touch the yeast chunks to get it all off.

It is a wild culture and drying yeast at home in a dehydrator isn't exactly a sanitary process so I'm not too concerned about it, but I would have preferred to not be touching it with my bare hands, could have used gloves I suppose.

#HomeBrewing #WildYeast #DryingYeast

Pretty sure we're at (or extremely close to) terminal gravity on the wild yeast (abbey culture) saison. Temperature correction puts it at 1.0056 making this beer around 5.6% abv.

I'll probably package it sometime later this week, and the kegged half should be ready for Christmas.

Drinking some Hive Saison. Wild fermented with a yeast culture grown up from honey, comb, and even a few unfortunate worker bees from my hive.

#Beer #WildYeast #Saison #HomeBrewing

Granddad's Kernza Saison has finally cleared (now that there's like 8 bottles left). Now it tastes great and looks great too.

#HomeBrewing #Saison #WildYeast #Beer

Palatki kernza saison is finally carbonated, though it feels like it could be a little bit more carbonated than it is. Regardless it's quite delicious, somewhat tart, a little funky, very fruity.

#Beer #HomeBrewing #WildYeast #Saison

Last night I had an uncarbed pint of the wild yeast saison I dry hopped with Calypso. It is tasting really good, the intense fruitiness from the hops meshes really well with the slight tartness and funky esters from the fermentation. I'm looking forward to how this is going to be once it's fully carbonated.

#Beer #WildYeast #HomeBrewing

The Leavenworth cherries are starting to show signs of life now.

#WildYeast #HomeBrewing

Two new yeast capture attempts, one with Saskatoon berries from the riverside in Pashastin and one with wild cherries from the riverside park in Leavenworth.

#WildYeast #HomeBrewing #Fermentation

Wild yeast Honey Tripel: used honey from my hive instead of candi sugar; fermented with wild yeast originally harvested from my neighbor's honey about 12 years ago.

Aroma of honey in the nose that follows through in the flavor along with the fruity and vanilla/clove flavor typical of this yeast, not sour, good balance of bitter and sweet, easy to drink after a day's work in the garage and garden.

#Beer #HomeBrewing #WildYeast #BeeKeeping #Honey

Bottling the Granddad's Bluff saison. First beer this newly caught culture has made and it's tasting pretty good, judgement reserved until it's fully carbed, but I'm thinking it's gonna be good.

#HomeBrewing #WildYeast #beer #fermentation

It's incredible the difference in flavor between the bottled saison and the exact same beer on tap. Carb levels are different for sure, but even drinking the last of this bottle two hours later it's still so different. Maybe I should try naturally carbonating the keg next time?

#HomeBrewing #Beer #Saison #WildYeast

My attempt to revive the wild yeast I collected from the Bahamas that's been lying dormant in a jar in my fridge for 8-9 years seems to have succeeded.

#WildYeast #HomeBrewing

I have had this bottle of saison sitting in a small tub of oxyclean solution near the garage door to help remove the label from the bottle for a few days. I opened the garage door this morning and the sun shone on it for a while and when I came back from working in the yard the bottle had opened itself so I put it in the freezer to cool down for a while and now I'm drinking it.

#HomeBrewing #beer #saison #WildYeast

It's too nice out to not sit in the sun and drink some saison during my lunch break today.

#beer #saison #WildYeast #HomeBrewing

Hey, look at that, The Granddad's Bluff yeasties got happy! A few days ago I was considering putting it in the fridge to crash and decant for a potential second round. Procrastination FTW!
