She Brews Good Ale replied to Tim Roettiger's discussion Dark Rye Malt in the group Aleuminati Alechemists"Hi Tim,
How much rye did you put in the beers that you did, and what styles were they?
I did a rye IPA a couple of months ago and added 1 lb to a 10 gallon batch. That was just right for what I was doing with that beer. Right now I have a rye…"
Tim Roettiger posted a blog postBelgian Mare Brewery Update
Hi All, I know I have not posted in quite some time. I apologize. We have been very busy working on the dream brewery and trying to race the cold weather. This past Sunday we had a big crew out and finished the framing. We hope this coming Sunday to put up the rafters. A photo of the current state of the brewery is below. We are behind schedule, but still hope to open next year. For more details you can see my blog: www.belgianmare.blogspot.com…See More

Dark Rye Malt
I just purchased some dark rye malt from the homebrew shop. I have used it in two beers. In one, the taste was nearly overpowering. In the other it was very faint. So it appears I need a bit of work on getting the right mix. Has anyone else used dark rye malt? If so, in your experience, what is a good amount to use in a 5 gallon batch? Thanks!See More

Tim Roettiger posted a blog postPouring the Walls
Hi All,Just wanted to drop a line and let you know tha twe have started building the brewery. Yesterday, we poured the walls and today we removed the forms. Details are at www.belgianmare.blogspot.com.My advice is that if you pour concrete, get the pump truck! In all my years in the BWCA I have never paddled so hard as yesterday, while trying to get concrete to the back of the forms!Cheers, TIMSee More

Tim Roettiger added a discussion to the group Aleuminati AlechemistsHow long do you age beer?
I have read much lately about US micros hurrying to ship "fresh" beer for festival entries. However, many recipes I have call for long term ageing.Since taste evolves with bottle conditioned products, I like to drink each batch over a span of six months to a year. I would like to hear from some of the other Alchemists about their views on ageing.Recently, I had the last of my New England Cream Lager. It was six months old and excellent! (Details:…See More
Tim Roettiger replied to ryan tockstein's discussion cheap great way to oxygenate wort in the group Aleuminati Alechemists"Interesting. Very good idea. Just like the Venturi valves we use to oxygenate the water on our fish transport trucks. I feel dumb that I did not think of it!"
Ray Grace replied to Tim Roettiger's discussion Mixing Yeasts? in the group Aleuminati Alechemists"Finally read the article, it was a homebrewer experiment using different dry ale yeasts. Interesting but not completely applicable or as interesting as what you're doing."
Tim Roettiger replied to Tim Roettiger's discussion Mixing Yeasts? in the group Aleuminati Alechemists"Great! I just let my subscription lapse!"
Ray Grace replied to Tim Roettiger's discussion Mixing Yeasts? in the group Aleuminati Alechemists"F.Y.I I haven't read it yet but there is an article in the new Brew Your Own about mixing yeasts."
Art Gompper commented on Tim Roettiger's blog post Brewery Update-Belgian Experience"Tim,
At least make a smoked trout stout! Pairing fish with beer is great when you're talking about eating but if you're talking about drinking, it better be while fishing and not about putting fish in the beer!! Pretty sure you could come…"
Tim Roettiger commented on Tim Roettiger's blog post Brewery Update-Belgian Experience"Hey Art,
you just gave me an idea..."
Art Gompper commented on Tim Roettiger's blog post Brewery Update-Belgian Experience"Hey Tim,
Good looking blog and interesting beer. A New England Cream Lager sounds mighty tasty! Keep experimenting and keep us up to date. Good luck, just don't try to brew up some perch porter or trout stout!!"
Ray Grace replied to Tim Roettiger's discussion Mixing Yeasts? in the group Aleuminati Alechemists"Sounds like an interesting experiment. The closest I've done to this is adding champagne yeast to finish out a Belgian strong but that's a pretty standard process. I look forward to hearing how it turns out."

Brewery Hearing July 13
Hi All,
We finally got our public hearing scheduled for the brewery we are trying to build. This has been a long process. We are confident that we have a good program that will meet the town's requirements and allow us to create something very special in good old Alstead. Support from the public has been tremendous and several of our supporters plan to attend the hearing.
I will post a report on the meeting on my blog (belgianmare.blogspot.com).

The Worm Squirms
As my followers (?) know , I am building a brewery. So far it has been an adventure. I would have never expected that the biggest snag, to date, would be the field of view on the driveway. Well, it appears we can deal with that. For details see: www.belgianmare.blogspot.com .
I have just started boiling my maple. New brew ideas abound.
But does anyone have any experience with Thames Valley yeast?
Cheers All,
TIM
