The only thing that's mysterious is why people would drink cheap, fizzy beer.

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.

F.Y.I I haven't read it yet but there is an article in the new Brew Your Own about mixing yeasts.

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 up with so…

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!!

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.

Mixing Yeasts?
Anybody out there ever try mixing yeasts? I just bottled a beer that I fermented with a mixture of lager and ale yeasts. Blew the top off the fermenter. I have never had a beer froth like that! It tasted pretty good going into the bottle. Details at…

Hey All, Just to update: The maple syrup appeared to work just fine. I used it to bottle a lager. The beer was great, with a slightly fruity taste, a bit like Steinlager. The head was pure white and very dense. The beer did not have a distinctly map…

Just a bit of a follow-up. After 3.5 months I bottled the beer that I had made with Thames Valley Yeast. It was clear and tasted good. Even at this late date the lock had not backed and there was still some foam on top of the fermenter. I have detai…

I've used honey in the past, but mostly dextrose. I recently switched to sucrose and had equal success. Palmer has a conversion chart or two on his site, and in his books. I've been looking into priming with it again for a lager recipe I'm preparing…

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).

It's gonna be fun...TIM

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
