Its B. claussenii that I harvested from Maine blueberries. I brought them back with me last summer while was visiting the family. Got to say it was a harder one to isolate a clean sample. There was lots of wild yeast on the blueberries and the morphology of some of them were very similar under microscope.

There is something about a finely crafted brew that boasts a head of foam like that… That is how I picture a fabulous brew! Sneezles61

This was the Dirty Water Brown 001 off of Beersmith. Hit the numbers perfectly. Pitched it on the Rye WLP001 yeastcake from Sunday. Big overpitch but what the heck! Seemed like a weird brown recipe. 1/2 an Oz of Magnum to bitter then an Oz of Amarillo at 15 and 1 3/4 at FO.

It is good but I make my evil beers extremely hoppy (>100 IBU).
That way, only I will drink it.
10 gallon batch:
First 5 gallons - Proper IPA (guests)
2nd 5 gallons - Well, only I enjoy them, what I do in the extra 15 min of boil…

Nah,
I usually just add more hops & maybe corn sugar and sometimes steeped grains (made in the kitchen earlier)…

Brewing a Bushwick Pilsner today. Problematic day all around so far…
pH meter won’t calibrate to the 4.01 solution…ugh…Trying to follow BS3 acid additions so now doing so blindly…
Stepped mash is proving problematic for me also…just one of those days but…
It will be beer.
Yeah Tom! Please share your secret tip with us. Also, Hi! I am new to this forum but essentially not to brewing (sometimes post on here too). Would love to share and learn a lot from here. Cheers
