damn AHS is out of Carapils for another 2 weeks. There goes the pale ale
I was just reading about them being short on a lot of grain right now.

they have everything I need for the IPA, might decide to go ahead with that instead

Why don't you use carapils in an IPA? I do.

In this particular one I'm using rye and wheat

Just tried it and.... Wow
This is a really really good beer. It could be a little drier, but I have impressed myself
It needs to warm up a bit to release its full flavors but damn. So far, I'm 2 for 2 with my own recipes

What did it end up at? I'm too lazy to look back through the thread.

I think I came up with a beer to brew tomorrow.
8 lbs Pils
3 lbs Rye
1 lb acid malt
~15 IBU for bittering
~5 IBU late addition
Thinking crystal for the hops.
Yeast will be a blend of French Saison, Brett l., and Brett c.
I also feel like trying out some new spices. Maybe lavender? I don't know, I'll see what smells good on the spice rack at Brewstock.

Looks nice

Few things are as satisfying as drinking your own beer!

Pushing 8%+ on the acid malt could give you a little twang and that should match up nicely with the Rye.

My last beer I brewed was 10% acid malt. Has a very nice, subtle twang. It didn't have any rye in it, only pils and vienna.
I'm sipping on a farmhouse that has a 15% rye backbone and I'm digging it. I want to see how it plays with the acid malt.

My farmhouse wit taste really good going into the bottle, I'm very pleased with this.

My farmhouse wit
I was so close to coming up with a farmhouse wit recipe tonight. I always think wits are a good idea, then I brew them and get bored drinking them rather quickly. I was thinking a brett or sour wit might change my mind, but then I chickened out.

I've done a 100% Brett Wit, that I thought was fantastic. Something to think about.

Was that the one you had at WYES last year? That one was pretty good.
Posted on 7/26/13 at 8:36 am to BottomlandBrew
Correct. I havent made it since. I probably should.
Posted on 7/26/13 at 4:18 pm to rds dc
Just got my brett starter going (probably should've done that last night) and will toss it in my sour wort pale ale when I secondary it this evening.

I just got back from Brewstock with my grain and hops. Was hoping to brew this afternoon/evening, but it's too hot. Think I might try for an early morning brew tomorrow. My back patio is in the shade in the morning and is nice. This time of day it's a blast furnace.
Posted on 7/26/13 at 6:04 pm to BottomlandBrew
I thought about this too today, I'm kinda glad I didn't order the stuff to brew next weekend, it's hot as balls out

Ugggh... maybe I'm not being patient enough but I don't think the dregs from my Crooked Stave 100% Brett were viable. No signs of activity, no yeast sediment, no nothing. Anyone else have experience building a starter from 100% brett dregs?
