| + | Having run only 4 batches of beer, I've already decided I don't like safbrew yeast. Of the beer I've brewed, batches 1, 3, and 4 have used safbrew yeast. Batch 1 had a strong almost antiseptic flavor that I originally thought was from the particular strain of yeast. Having now opened and tried a few bottles of batch 4, and finding that it has the same flavor, though not as strongly, I'm going to stop using that particular brand. It's somewhat annoying, because the guys at the brew store highly recommend it. It's true that the dry yeast is far cheaper, but the white labs liquid yeast that I used gave the ale I made a wonderful flavor, so that'll be the brand to go with from now on, at least for beer. I'll have to play around with mead a bit to find the right yeast. Speaking of which, it's time for me to hit the brew store. Probably Friday. :) -[[User:Morrigu|Morrigu]] 10:52, 20 January 2010 (EST) | ||

My Dad used to call his beer "Tree Frog". Since my beer is based on his recipes, only lighter than his, I'm trying to come up with a name for it that more or less matches this theme. Cat has suggested "Flying Squirrel", but I'm not sure that really fits. Given that it's being produced out of UCSouth, I'm pondering something based on that. Ideas? -Morrigu 10:47, 6 November 2009 (EST)
