Hey there I really love Grisettes - a very under appreciated style I believe should have a category all on its own . For the very few breweries and home brewers that make Grisettes, I'd say you're right there with what would be an interesting addition to a limited supply of Grisettes...

brewed with 3711 70F First 24 hours 80F with brew belt for 3 days Additional 10 days in primary at 70F Bottle condition for 4 weeks. Here was the revised recipe for this summer - brewing this in 2 weeks OG: 1.041 Final Gravity: 1.008(more like 1.000) ABV: 4.30% IBU: 26.05 SRM: 3.20 5.69 lb...

sorry been so busy - had twins I did brew it last summer and it was a big hit. I had actually used some freshly grated zest of 4 limes in the primary per womens' requests on our beach trip - I have to say - between this and the Citra and Wakatu - it was def. a limey grisette - what was great...

I tend to stay away from the sour stuff, however - adding 3% of acidulated malt will give it a nice tang and I have done so in my favorite saison. Not sure how that would play with my dry, bitey, citrus thing here. I did and I actually changed the process up slightly First - I did the NZ...

From my experience, going 80F on 3711, 3724, 3726 (3725 - made a Bier de Garde at 70F then lagered) will give you an excellent balance of fruity saison esters and dry peppery phenolics - a little of both makes it really nice. I just have the brew belt on and it does wonders for my saisons. I...

Know this is old but would be interested to hear how this turned out I'm always big on any farmhouse style, but for this one I'm staying away from spice/flavor/aroma additions outside of the hops how was it with the lemon? I'd also like to hear what lager-like qualities it had since I've...

I can attest that I've utilized straight up date sugar alone from the very beginning, all the way to 300+ 4 times over (its a pain but if you are diligent with water it can work) with this DAP method and while it is probably a little too much burnt sugar, deep cocoa for my liking (seemed more...

just an update - have recently fermented an Autumn 75 minute IPA, bottled a Brown Ale fermented with pureed raisins and dried plums (mixed in with coffee) an Irish Red Ale brew day yesterday and upcoming, got my hands on a Wyeast Private Collection Bière de Garde - doing an ambrée Decided to...

thanks for the suggestions - I want to see how Midwest responds first. Hopefully I don't have to cancel my order.

Can anyone suggest another online supplier that is actually consistent in their communications, and processing and shipping times? - preferably with shorter wait time. I'd rather not say how frustrated I am but would rather go elsewhere and solve my waiting problems.

maybe they're right - the way they utilized it resulted in a brew with no noticeable contribution from the sugar other than abv, body. I've always noticed it however in the bigger Belgians and the amber to dark saisons that aren't overloaded with specialty malts Anytime I've gone 10-20%...

MW always send the hops in airtight packages - do other places do this with the grain - CAN you do this with the grain? If so - I think that would make customers feel a little better about the shelf life

lemon / lime juice in my experience will give you a sweeter product in the lighter stages, but, has given me more bitterness the darker I go I might consider just using the lemon or lime during the cool down liquid stage or a minute or two before it hits the final soft or hard crack temp...

just put in a nice sized order last Friday, 5/10 and got shipping confirmation in the middle of the night (5/15) - the equivalent of about 3-4 business days - I expect around 2-3 so unless I'm special because I complained and they didn't want my hassle again, then I'll assume they are just about...

+1 on Midwest points system Awesome that you got the clone recipes

After communicating with Nick at Midwest, the order was processed and is now shipping! I'm happy it was taken care of because I'd rather just keep coming back to them. :mug:

I ordered from Midwest on 4/23 and am still in processing mode. I emailed them asking what was going on and they told me about their transition and that my order would likely go out that night or the next day. Ok, no big deal - i understand. I waited 4 more days and still no word. I emailed...

looks like a lot of fun - the smell is terrible and will clean out your sinuses and stay with you if you don't step away for a second or two - I try to have someone else with me that will give me a 2 minute break. The overhead fan and ventilation was a must for me - phew! Will be interested...
