I brewed a pale saison with the previous batch of yeast. It was a ~2.5 gallon batch with the following recipe: 4.25 lbs pilsner 0.25 lbs each vienna, rye, wheat and cane sugar 0.75 oz each galaxy and vic secret - 30 min hop stand 0.25 oz both hops 10 days before kegging 0.25 oz both hops 5...

I would be worried about getting too much hop character but you could always give it a shot.

Yesterday I scrubbed down my kegerator, cleaned kegs and brewed 2 SMaSH lagers.

Anyone have updates about the wort? I never got an email mentioning details.

Who is planning on attending the next rally on 2/12? Also, does anyone know what the wort will be this time around?

Does anyone have any experience using red currants in brewing? I have about 2 quarts of juice in the freezer and I'm looking to brew something using it.

Use S-04 or Nottingham, they're both English strains.
