  Wow! Thank you so much for that. I read that on the site, but I still thought I would get that
  funk in addition to the fruitness. I had no clue brett was involved. now, I know :) I will have
  to try th...

• Posted in thread: Saison 2 tastes like hefe? on 03-08-2013 at 03:20 PM
  The funk flavors found in some saisons comes from Brettanomyces. I do not believe that either
  saison blend contains any Brett, so this has to be added separately. This is because those
  funky flavors a...

• Posted in thread: so what's the worst part of brewing for you on 02-25-2013 at 05:51 PM
  I was going to say cleaning up, but when I thought about it more the real answer is when a
  batch runs out.

• Posted in thread: Brewing my first Saison - tips please? on 01-07-2013 at 01:53 PM
  My advice is keep it simple. Typically a Saison will have at least some portion of the grain
  bill as wheat. It's not necessary though (I use rye in my Saison instead of wheat). 1.015 would

  My wife decided this year for my birthday to get me a Randall. Previously I have balanced my
  keg setup using the Draught Quality Manual guidelines, but now I'm not sure what to do when I
  have this thi...

• Posted in thread: Starter method to grow/store yeast on 07-23-2012 at 05:02 PM

  then follow normal yeast washing procedure when fermentation is complete to save some for
  future batches.

  A while ago I had a bottle of Jolly Pumpkin's Baudelaire IO saison. It's got rose petals & hips
  as well as hibiscus in it, giving it a unique color and floral flavor and aroma. I really
  enjoyed it so ...

  At first I was wondering who just has potentiometers lying around, then I saw the Ernie Balls
  in the background and knew. :mug:Looks nice, I may have to move mine into a cigar box sometime.
  Definitely...

  A 10bbl brew house... A couple grand? HERMS. A few hundred, I'd seriously consider a kettle
  upgrade for ...
