I just fininshed reading Stan Heronymous's book 'How to Brew Like a Monk'. I thought that Belgian Gravity is specified by the following furmula: (1-OG)x100 So an original gravity ready on a hydrometer of 1.070 would be expressed as 7... it's been 15 years since I had Westvletren 12. Pardon...

First, I do not recommend champagne yeast in primary. It will produce a 'cidery' flavor profile. At small brew pub that I go to, they (improperly) use champagne yeast to make a Saison. I love a good Saison- theirs not so much. I never send craft brew back. That is I never have before that beer...

For the xxx movie afficianado: Mandingo's Taint Stout

How's your brew doing? Do you have any tasting notes to offer? On a similar note, I brewed similar using Belgian Ale yeast. Grain bill was pilsner, wheat malt, honey malt, lots of pumpkin, candy corn, and raw sugar. Spices include cinnamon nutmeg cardamom grains of paradise. Hops were mostly...

Check out this blog, especially the 12 part series interview with Dr Al Haunold, the 'people's hopmeister' , USDA inventor of over 20 hop varieties. A lot of good info to use on updating your list! http://inhoppursuit.blogspot.com/2010/01/why-proprietary-hops.html

Check out this resource. The most complete list I have found to date. http://www.freshops.com/hops/usda-named-hop-variety-descriptions

If you have extra tomatoes MAKE SAUCE NOT BEER. I would imagine someone in history has tried this before. I also imagine someone in history never did this again. I'm not one to preach Reinheitsgebot (sp?) but for ****s sake, tomatoes and basil DO NOT BELONG IN BEER. I tried an Asian beer...
