General Homebrew Discussion / ice beer

« on: January 16, 2013, 08:08:58 PM »

What has people's experience been with producing ice beers (other than eisbock)?  I made more that I meant to (won't all fit in my kegs) of an English Bitter and an Alt and thought I would give it the ice beer treatment to use the extra volume to give it a try. It will only make a few but why not.   It got me wondering if anyone has ever experimented with different styles and what they found out.  Anyone have comments?

Yeast and Fermentation / Brett dosed trippel

« on: January 11, 2013, 07:53:13 PM »

I have a brett. L dosed trippel with oak cubes that has been sitting for over a year and a half now.  The pellicle is still floating on top.  I have read that it can sit there if it is in a stable environment for some time.  This is only the 3rd beer with bacteria that I have done and want to make sure I am not jumping the gun by bottling now?  Any thoughts?
