OK so in a nutshell there is no classifcation? Lol......I am where I started

I won't be entering it in any contest but it's a 'house' recipe that I accidentally came up with and like it. So I thought the least I could do was call it by the 'right' name. Oh well

OK I'm embarrassed to admit it but I have a recipe I routinely brew but am not sure of its classification. Hopefully I can get some help here. Here are the base ingredients: 2 row crystal 10 Saaz hops Yeast - sometimes the T-58, sometimes mangrove jacks belgian yeast. I want to say it's based as a b...

1/3 Huh. That helps a lot as that was my next question lol.

I have a roughshod way of trying to measure out about 35ML which is the size of the whitelab vials.

^If that's the case then I will probably just wash the yeast and not pitch all of it.

If I wash the yeast and pitch the same day, do you recommend a starter?

I was thinking much less than that. I'll probably do 2.5g. I read someone did .16oz for a 6 gallon batch and it was just subtle enough. So I'm starting there. Don't want my wife waiting 8 months for her beer lol.....

I figured a few of those things Mashani but not all.

When you say go bigger - what are your thoughts? This batch has an OG of 1.062. 10 point increase? 20?

Thanks for the reply. I'm familiar with the term 'yeast cake'. I was wondering more if there is a term for doing what we are talking about? In any event I like the idea of washing the yeast and then using that. If I don't start a new batch on this yeast I was going to wash it anyways. Thanks for the...

Hey - I'm sure there is a term for this but I don't know what it is. If I did, I would have searched for it and probably found my answer. So I will post the question and see if I can get some help. I will soon be cold crashing my fermenter in preparation for bottling. I will want to drop a new batch...

Hello - I will be brewing a 5 gallon batch and want to play around with some ginger. I plan to do a split batch to test. I plan on doing a simple Belgian ale. In one fermenter I will do as normal for the Belgian. But in the other I'd like to add some ginger and see how that plays out. To keep the gi...

Cool thanks guys.

I'm doing a SMASH this weekend. I was digging through my 'stuff' and found some orange bitter peel and thought 'hmmm.......'. I'm thinking about dropping a little in to give a small hint of orange. I've never used it before so not too sure about results. Recipes I've seen tend to use it in conjuncti...

I meant to buy sweet but purchased bitter by mistake. I think I will keep it easy and throw in an ounce at the last 10 or so.

Alright I recently got my hands on a Cigar City limited edition IPA. It was brewed with Orange Peel. Pretty darn tasty. The orange is very very subtle. I have some bitter orange peel and am thinking of throwing it into an upcoming batch/recipe. Has anyone had any experience working with bitter orang...

Oops. I did a good sloshing. I'll try and not do that again.

Thanks for the tips!
