This is a big beer, and I need to make sure there's enough yeast to ferment everything.In Part 2 covering the Old Ale, I start off by checking on the current state of the fermentation then propagate some more yeast from my yeast bank to make sure there's enough to finish this beer properly.After bottling and condition, I give the Old Ale it's first taste after 30 days. But this won't be the last taste.

After finding 2 Old Ales on tap in 2 different breweries, I figured it must be some kind of signThis is my first, and I'm reasonably sure not my last, attempt at an English Old Ale. A rich, strong, malty, sweet, bordering on decadent ale that, when done right, can be a magnificent treat.This is the first part of a two-part video. In part 1 I go through the style, recipe, and brewing of my first version an Old Ale!

I have wanted to try my hand at an Altbier for a very long time. It's one of those things that always seemed to get put on hold when something else came up. Yet, another great thing about these style challenges.Not saying it forces me to finally try making it an altbier, better said "it gives me the unique opportunity" to try. (Now you see how my inner voice works when it comes to brewing beer). It is style 7B, part of Category 7 Amber Bitter European Beer in the BJCP Style Guide.I've got another strain of yeast lined up for this, White Labs WLP03 Dusseldorf Alt Ale Yeast. I'm not testing or experimenting with this yeast in this series, I'm using it on the overwhelming recommendations of homebrews both in-person and online.Again, can't wait to see how this comes out. It's another style to tick off in the challenge and one I've really wanted to try for quite a while.
