please add my name the hat!

I'm in.

I'm in like flint.

I'm in too.

I'm feeling lucky. I'm in!

Absolutely. The airlock was pushing out about a bubble a second for a few weeks after the cherries went in. Not so much now, a month later.

I racked mine to a secondary after about a month. I brewed it back in April, and just hit it with with 4 lbs of canned sour cherries last month. I couldn't find fresh sour cherries in the fall, and was torn between the using canned or dried. All of the dried cherries seem to have sunflower oil...

At 6'2 I was a consistent 180lbs until I hit 40 or so. No mater what I ate or drank. The last 6-7 years, with increased homebrew and craft beer consumption I was pushing 200. I made a new years resolution this year, which I almost never do. For every beer I drink I have to run 2 miles or bike...

I've been following this thread and trying my hand a homebrewed Supplication this summer. Brewed back in April, primaried with WL530, then racked to secondary and hit it with the WL655 Belgian Sour mix and a couple of bottles of Supplication dregs. All seems well, nice pellicle, nice sour notes...

Great. Thanks for the quick reply Yooper!

I'm all set to brew this for the first time today. A few weeks back I bulk ordered hops, including a pound of 2009 Centennial. I pulled out the package from the freezer this morning and noticed the AA on these are only 5% (not the the 9.5% in the OP recipe). So do I need to effectively double...

5.5 yesterday. 2264.2 + 5.5 = 2269.7

My second all grain brew session today - also did Ed Wort's Haus Pale Ale. Seems to be quite a popular brew around here, so I figured it'd be a good one to get my new system dialed in with. Last week was my inaugural brew with my new set up (Biermuncher's Centennial Blonde, another quite popular...

Thx for the tips. I was torn by the thought of more growth up high (and perhaps some extra cone production) vs. the extra green down below and energy back to the new root system. I do keep the bottom of the bines striped clean to keep the ground nasties off, but other than that I think I'll...
