An empty container of LME weighs 1.34 oz.
Started fermenting a few hours after pitching. Rehydration must've been spot on. Glass carboy is in the corner of the living room with two wet t-shirts covering it.
Bottling day: 04/29. 1.5 oz of corn sugar with 1 cup boiling water. Makes 1.7 volumes.
Last bottle: 07/22. Taste test with Newcastle.
Appearance: Commercial is much clearer and much lighter. To be expected. My head is larger at first but dissipates quickly. Looks like similar levels of carbonation based on bubbles. Mine is an opaque brown, almost black. Newcastle is a nice copper red. Newcastle wins out here.
Aroma: Mine is nutty and caramelly, but only slightly so. Probably smelled stronger with fresher bottles. Medium notes of bread. Newcastle aroma is much harder to detect. Slightly nutty not much else.
Taste: Mine is rather carbonated upon entry. Newcastle's is immediately smoother. Not necessarily a better thing. Mine has caramel and roasted attributes. Newcastle's finish is more "boozy", mine is slightly more bitter, less boozy.
Mouthfeel: Mine has a fuller body, Newcastle is thin by comparison. Hard to find any other differences. Both dont leave a terribly strong after taste. Both are pleasant.
Overall: Maybe biased, but I prefer mine. The fuller body lends itself to a fuller, more robust taste. If I made it again, maybe I'll try upping the chocolate and/or black malt in order to bring out more flavours. |

General Instructions:
Mash and boil are straightforward. Add the candy sugar with 5 minutes left. Pitch yeast at 75 and keep it warm for a couple of weeks, then let it sit undisturbed for a month or two until the brett is done. And for heaven's sake don't fear the 3724! I didn't dry hop this beer, but it would be very good with some dry hopping. You could do Amarillo to boost the citrus, EKG to compliment the brett, or more Saaz.
BREWDAY NOTES:
Actual SG: 1.063
If we get down to 1.002: 8% ABV
Pitched yeast at approx 75F. Placed in Living room at 74F |

Created a starter of wild airborne microbes and left in a mini coolship overnight - left for five days and then added dregs from last sour batch which contained 3 fonteinen and cantillon dregs and displayed a huge amount of that character.
will practice the solero method and will obtain another 2 barrels and blend.
Transferred 1010@ Belgian golden ale with Brett and lactobascillus etcinto this barrel on 1/08/16 after removing one gallon to add apricot.
