Well, I guess that's what it will be since nobody wants to try something new....could have had the next best thing! J/K ;) I have only used the biscuit once, but it was with smoked cherry and it didn't turn out so well. What is the flavor profile of the biscuit? For now it sits at around 12% of...

I think the psi hit 12 after a few days. I can't remember fully, but I did purge out the O2. When I did I didn't leave the pressure in but let it rise naturally.

Yes, 5 gal batch.

Will consider for this fully test batch. :) might be a medal winner...take shots now if you agree and tell me how you feel tomorrow.

Just checked the date, good till 3/2025. Haven't had any issues before with dates getting close to what was printed so might be a bad batch. If so I have 5 (not 4 as previously posted) packs to do something with. Pressure rose naturally during fermentation and hit 12 PSI before dropping to 0...

Here is the kit from morebeer. I have it on hand, but I have not brewed it nor had the original. Pizza Ports Red Ale

My descriptions are not the best. I would have to say it has that fruity sorta banana taste, the typical hefe but not near as strong as a a purpose brew hefe.

Maybe I'll try a similar recipe. This was a kit and I have 4 more packs of K97 to do something with.

The recipe builder matched it to American Strong Ale. Also ran it through Brewfather and it matched to Old Ale (90%), Strong British (90%), Strong American (86%).

True, first time using this yeast. I remember having some German ales when I lived there, but that has been a while. I had expectations of something different is all. Still very drinkable.

I have some random grains and trying to find something to brew to finish up some of the smaller amounts. I put the below together on a whim and figured I would try it with voss kveik. Completely random trial. Does anything stick out that would be bad based on your experience? Appreciate any...

yes, same beer from link. I only kegged it a few days week ago and have it in the fridge to condition. I noticed the same thing when i kegged and was hoping the taste would settle out. Temps were steady at 67-67F

Pulled a sample of my altbier. Fermented with K97, recommended from the recipe as a German ale yeast. The taste is almost exact to a hefe. Is this normal for this type of yeast? If that is the case I would have just rather brewed another hefe as I do like them. Sorta disappointed in the altbier.
