By the way... I got a little crazy "dry flowering" with hibiscurs flowers since those are "really mexican"....50g for 2.5gallons.....made a tea with that and dropped it on the secondary. It got a pink color and great aroma....bottled that yesterday. I will get back with that pick too.

Thanks Ron! I do think it resembles a commercial beer, not much complexity, simple flavors, but I really won't complain about it. I was expecting something like it to be the resoult.....next time I'm going to step it up a bit and do a big stout....let see how that goes.

Well guys...I'm coming back to you with the results of this recipe. Feed back: Is just a plain witbier, little acid notes from the pils and wheat malts, excelent head retention, really melow and subtle hop flavor from and just a hint of orange at the end. It's hazy just like I expected from the...

Wow, I don't know where to start, you really went through all my question and we both know those were a lot :rockin: Right on. Those are staying put. I'm probably going to go with the unmalted version, cost wise (1:5 ratio between the 2). And probably will skip the cereal mash and...

Well, apparently I got a stuck spurge really bad on sunday. Really bad one......had to step the temp a little bit to help it ad poke the grain bed a little. I got almost everything out and the the efficiency was not as bad as I expected...got FG 1.049 adjusted to hidrometer calibration..... Got...
