I suppose you refer to the 'Fond Tradition' or something like it
(black label with white text, I tried it a couple of months ago
and my memory is somewhat hazy, I may be mixing it up with the
also recently released traditonal St. Louis).
I recall being pleasanlty surprised by both of them.
They are pale, dry, and acidic geuzes but lacking a bit in brett
character. In all indeed uncompromising but not very exciting.


A noteable thing was the price, about 1$ for the
'half wine-bottle' (that's about half the price I pay for really
good types)
If you plan to swill geuze, a case of either would be a good choice :)

Subject: Notes from my Belgium trip




Text item: Text_1




While I was in Belgium the last couple of weeks I made a point to ask
the various brewers questions that seem to surface here in the LD. Here
is the questions and there responses:


1) How do you do a turbid mash: Frank Boon replied that you take
roughly 30% of the liquid at mash in and bring that to a boil for 5
minutes. During the time the liquid is coming to a boil, you perform
step mashes on the main mash. The boiled liquid is re-combined with the
main mash at sparge time.


2) Temperature range for producing lambics: Frank Boon replied that you
should never get above 19C (66F). I noticed that some felt brett did
good at 75F. Mr. Boon replied that this is too warm...


3) Is there a difference in Boon Framboise/Kriek shipped to the US and
that in Belgium: Mr. Boon replied no, the only difference is the
labels...

Shop Request
Two things:
Well, Boon, Cantillon, and other good Belgian products are still hard to find
here in CA, but I will be in Orlando (FL) in a couple of weeks. Have these
products made it south of D.C? If so, please send me details of where to find
them! Thanks!


Todd G. writes of making a Framboise Noir from Blackberries. Sorry, what you
need for 'Framboise Noir' is Black Raspberries ( :-) - which I just happen to
have, just waiting for my first attept to get far enough along to add the
berries. I would love to hear how the blackberries work though. I have had
very dissapointing results from using blackberries in beer in general. Too
little flavor. A friend did try blending blackberries and raspberries once,
and that did work very well. (I hope that didn't come off as being mean...)

OK, now I'm hot to know: what is ropyness?

My Pediococcus starter (thanks Mike) has this. It didn't seem to
have much higher viscosity throughout but rather gooey "rope" in the beer.
Somewhat like a solution of high molecular weight DNA.

Thank you! I've corrected the date in the article. However, some websites list January 1980 as the date of death.
