I do 7 gal full boils for 3 gal batches. Get a ten gallon pot and you won't have boil overs.

51. brewing for eight years.

Some season yeasts will ferment, go quite , and start up again (3724, 565) but I have not heard of 3 mons. I like the WY3711 and ferment starting at 62F and finish at 74F. I usually ferment for 3weeks.

Nothing stops WY3787. :rockin: A Five gallon 1.070 dubbel blows through the airlock on the 7.9gal model.

"In ND we will be 80-90 during the day and upper sixties at night." You want to reduce the dgree of temp swings as much as possible - if you can keep the temp consistent at the lower end, go for it

Pilsner/Armarillo great for saisons. Do the SMASH with WY 3711. SG ~1.052, mash at 150F for 60min, ferment starting at 64F and let free rise to the Low 70's and hold until finished.

I have been drinking up the Belgo since it came to Maryland. I also like Clown Shoes "Muffin Top" and "Tramp Stamp".

WY 3522 (Ardennes) mid 60's to low 70s light fruity, tart, dry. Attenuates very well.

I always bottle around 68F and let it carb at that temp. Measure by weight not volume so you can dial in you carb levels.
