Just finished a 2 night brew streak. Waimea Pale Ale on the first night, 1885 Youngers XP (From Ron Pattinson) for the second one. Guess I need to take a break all my fermenters are full.

Did an Alesmith IPA clone last night.

Split my pink peppercorn saison in half and gave both halfs half an oz of East Kent Goldings and some whole peppercorns. One half got Brett taken from a Cantillon Framboise.

The strain was isolated in a lab.

you sure?
thought that was Iris. and it was 3 strains.

the answer, though, is yes. should be sacch, brett and pedioc. after all, it gets sour and it isn't brett doing it.

So said the guy who works in the lab who brought me the sample. It's not a strain that's sold commercially, if that's what you're thinking of.

Yesterday I hosted the 2nd meeting of Brew York home brew club. We brewed a Saison with Honey, Coriander and Orange peel as flameout additions. Blowing out the top of the fermenter this morning despite using just one vial of WLP565 with no starter :)
