Thanks Brewsday.

I might pick up that kit, although if somebody can post a "clone" that would be cool too, give a little flexibility. I have been leaning towards getting their Lawnmower Saison, might get both and start brewing for my summer stock now.

My wife loved Sam Adams Porch Rocker last year so if I can make something that's close I think she would love it. Especially since Porch Rocker, if they release, only has a short amount of time that it's available.

One of the things I like about Midwest is how open they are about their kit contents and instructions. You really get sense of what you're buyin before you pay...not just a "Peterman-esque" description. You could pull a "clone" recipe just by copying their info....but that leads to another thing I like about Midwest...their prices are quite reasonable...might as well just use their kit as copy it...unless you are into bulk purchasing...then you could probably shave a few $$$ off.

I can +1 in support of the kool-aid lemonade packets at bottling time. 3 packets for 2.5 gallons was perfect in my 8.5% abv beer. Great tart lemon flavor.

I would like to "clone" Midwest's recipe but they don't list what they use for the specialty grains. Does anybody have any input as to what could be used for those? I already have the extract so I would just need to get the grains and yeast.

Any thoughts or suggestions are greatly appreciated.

it calls for 1/2 pound carapils...just hover on the box on their site and you can read the contents.

Hey kool-aid people...are you adding unsweeten koolaid packets?

I currently have a carboy secondary of all-grain Lemon Weiss with the zest of 2 big lemons presoaked in vodka in it. I did sip the smidge of vodka left in the jar and it was pretty "lemony". So I'm hoping that's enough but...I want to be ready to add more on bottling day if that's insufficient.
