Kveiks lead to effects which are pretty close to saisons / farm ales. AFAIK, often this is not one strain, but two or three at once. Sometimes one of them has nothing to do with cerevisiae. Or even it might be not yeast but bacteria. So, why not add to this salad smth. like SafAle BE-256, eh? One less, one more. Kveik will be in charge of speed and attenuation while BE-256 is to add zest or peppercorn to the salad.

Well, it was like 4-5g each per 22 liters. So, 8 to 10g total...

His airlock wasn't bubbling on account of the lid's problems. Advised him to leave the bucket alone for a week. Then to check FG. And to check it out again 2 days later. If no changes then it's time to bottle all those residual dextrins and melanoidins, that's all.

Have recently bottled my own Tripel with lotsa reach Belgian malts in. Added tons of... black currant berries for its secondary fermentation. Why? Cause I wanted to do so. Yepp, it's not "that Tripel" anymore. It's kinda fresh jam on a toast. And it's dry wine and reach ale all at once. Yummm...

Customizing labels for homemade bottles adds a personal touch and can make your gifts even more special. Many people enjoy creating unique labels for their homemade products, such as jams, sauces, or beverages, to give them a professional and personalized look

I've been draining some barrels and decided to bottle some at cask strength, so here is the start of what I'm calling my Hazmat series

I'm rather fascinated that your label is in English (and I assume it's not just because it's a bourbon).

There were 2-3 generations of Angel Yellow Label UJ supplemented by 2-3 generations of true malt conversion. Same sour mash from gen. to gen. Spirits dated by Feb. to Sept. 2020, honestly oaked for 3 years. The giddamned Quercus Robur... it spoiled lotsa thangs in these bottles.

Thanks MooseMan! I’m a big fan of Gil Elvgren’s art.

Well, here's a couple of my newest dedications to wild ales at all and to Belgium in particular. The hints are very "fat" (in terms of their obviousness) so, anyone to guess what this goof is all about? :wink:

By the way...

Here's my #6 handcrafted belt, kind of "antic". And a bottle decorated by the Missus.

Both thangs were just given to the eldest youngster. And I do hope the belt is to become (and remain) the family heritage.

As per the bottle... well, it's refillable.

:wink:
