Double Pilsner, eh? Ok I'll give it a bash #beer

My wife & I have had fun taking the GO Train to some breweries outside the city -

I've just written them up:
https://www.hotelexistence.ca/rails-to-ales/
(not so much a review - they're all great! more of a list of some breweries outside Toronto we've travelled to by GO)

Let me know if there are any you think we should try next -

#Toronto #brewery #beer

I need to plan my next brew day, I'll be harvesting my hops soon, so I was thinking maybe I should brew a full bine fresh hop saison.

Don't bother picking all the cones, just stuff the entire flowering bine into the kettle.

Thoughts?

I call this three nines of downtime.

Photo of a very black beer in a glass. Next to it is the can. The title is “Black Celebration Imperial Porter.” It says 9.99% alcohol by volume

Bitter Norwegian pale ale 6%

Using 1ml of hop extract at 60 minutes produced way more than the 10 IBUs I was told it would. This beer is quite bitter. I mitigated it a bit by adding calcium chloride to the finished beer, but it's still fairly bitter. I am a bit concerned for the 10 gallons of lager that got 4 ml of the exact (it's still fermenting).

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

Drinking a glass of Arnegard gong pale ale whilst I keg and dry hop said ale. The gong made quick work of the beer fermenting it down to 1.006 in less than a week.

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

@pejacoby I opened it. Pretty good, not too bitter but not too sweet. I think I got it at a good point. I'm enjoying it quite a bit.

Does anyone have any Blonde ale beers they could recommend for me to try? My favorite is the Kona Light Blonde but it only comes in the variety pack where I live. The 508 is ok and the Leffe is too sweet and chewy like a stout or porter. I want something light and I don’t like IPA’s either.

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.

Next to that is a ball jar full of the yeast cake from the beer; writing on a short strip of masking tape on top of the jar lid says, "Leavenworth cherries"

Wild yeast Elderflower Wit

This is so good. Obviously I'm biased because I brewed it, but it's just so nice and refreshing and delicious. Elderflower is definitely present in the nose and flavor. Tastes great on a warm summer afternoon.

So farewell, Humphrey Smith, scion of Samuel Smith's Brewery, a man who banned using phones in his pubs, sacked staff if they served beers in the wrong glass and closed down pubs if they made him the slightest bit unhappy. He will be interred in a glass box wearing traditional Swiss costume. #humphreysmith #samuelsmith #beer

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.

And it's #Brewday. We're doing the same "Bavarian IPA" like half a year ago, to test if we can get a consistent result. If we do, we might use the recipe as basis for another attempt at a milkshake IPA.

Ten minutes extra and the iodine is satisfied. Time to drain the grain. #Homebrewing #Beer #beersofmastodon

The water lock is still bubbling a little bit. Current gravity is 1.026, same as we had last time, which meant our final ABV was .5% below target. But the #beer was still good. I'll give it another day just to check tomorrow if the gravity changes. If not I'll cold crash tomorrow and bottle on Sunday.

#homebrewing #beersofmastodon

So, today I was bottling some of the elderflower wit I made and also drinking a bottle of Grandad's Tree Beer and then I had the brilliant idea to refill the freshly emptied bottle with primed wit, there's grandad's yeast in the bottom of the bottle so maybe it'll taste different? IDK FAFO is the name of this game.

Elderflower Wit gravity sample. Really fruity and floral, maybe a little bit dryer than I'd like, carbonation may help with that though.

It's at 1.005 down from 1.046 so 5.4% ABV
