this is a great beer - please let us know how it comes out

yeah my keg lasted about 1.5 weeks - i wouldn't change anything

i saw people do peppers on drinking made easy...

i did everything exact as the first post and this came out fantastic. it tastes identical to hoegarden. great recipe

dawgmatic - i would definately go with the byo article - mine came out very close to the original. i will definately be adding this to the re-brew list.

all - i just tapped this after a few days of force carbing it. it is excellent. i don't have a can of the 21st in order to do a comparison, but i think it's pretty close. i did the byo recipe. very similar color, nice and hoppy, but also has some malt sweetness due to the high mash temp...

i've been a little lazy with it - i dry hopped it starting on Sunday. I'll probably keg it this weekend - i'll update you in a couple weeks.

i enjoy a good wit beer during the summer

if it were me i'd probably step this up a couple more times before you pitch - you'll probably need much more yeast for a lager

i second the williamsbrewing wand. The o2 can from a hardware store is about 10 bucks. I've definately noticed a difference since using this and it is pretty simple to use prior to pitching the yeast.

i have this one and built a 5 tap with 1 sitting on the hump

let me know how this works out - you might also try to track down the white labs platinum strain from a couple months ago. i'm a big fan of this and have been looking for a really good recipe for this with no luck.

i brewed this on saturday using the recipe in BYO - i'll post the results in about a month

the most recent zymurgy had a great article on cloning orval and their use brettanomyces - you should check it out

mmm - good beer. had this in Munich over the summer. let me know how this turns out.
