Omg! Id go every week if I was that close. If you go get the whole allotment. Ill trade you some beers from here.

I took the pick before it had cooked it the rest of the way. It was just 1/4 strips.

Decided to finally try this. Toasted some coriander, star anise, clove, and cinnamon. Cooked it all for about 4 hours. Put in the fridge over night then skimmed the fat the next day. It was like a jello mold lol. Also pickled some soft boiled eggs. Turned out pretty good in the...

This is delish!

Pretty sure the Berliner is going to be a drain pour. I will never do a 15 min boil again. The DMS is insane. I'm going to let it carb up to make sure. But I have a feeling I will be brewing a do over after we get back from Cali.

It's a lot of fun. I absolutely love it.

Added 6lbs of peaches to the Berliner. It's fermenting harder now than it did in the primary. Hopefully the rest of the DMS exits.

Repitched last night and it's bubbling this morning. I guess the yeast was just bad. Who knows.

Took a sample to see if the gravity had gone down at all.....it hadn't. The sample was DMS city. Will that get scrubbed out by the yeast during fermentation.....assuming this most recent yeast pitch will take?

I think I may have figured it out. Our water company recently treated our water with chlorine. I did boil my rehydration water but not long enough to boil out all of it. That has to be it.

Yeah nothing at all. Wondering if the yeast was bad. I know it wasn't expired.

Rehydrated in sterilized water. Injected O2 in the wort, had yeast nutrient, and cooled wort to same as the yeast slurry. I've had issues with US05 lately. I'm really getting close to swearing it off. I've had it start slow before, and it usually doesn't finish. I never have problems with 04 but...

TGCM does the yeast lag bad in a kettle soured wort? I'm 36hrs after US05 pitch with no action.

Lol the DMS while it was souring was crazy.

Boiled the Berliner last night. Final ph was 3.9. I could have let it go another day or so, but it's low enough for me. Added US05 and after fermentation I'll either do 1 secondary with some fruit, or split it up and do 2 different fruits.

That's definitely on my list for future trips.

Damn. I'd just start at the top and work my way down. Great beers on there. We're going to San Fran in a couple of weeks. We're definitely going to Russian River.

6hrs for me.... pass. A local FB beer group I'm in split the cost of obtaining a barrel for your choice of beer from Prairie. Like 60 of us. Going to be bourbon barrel aged Stout with cinnamon, vanilla, and maple. Can't wait.

I'm not sure that they distribute. May be Brewery release/on site.

Yeah Prairie makes killer stouts. Their sours are good too. American Solera is a sister company that makes amazing sours as well.
