Just pitched a pack of De Bom into a Saison wort. Going to let it sour for a few days before pitching 3711. Hoping to add a little complexity to 3711 for a quick turnaround Saison.

Ron told me via email he does not use Pedio due to its production of Diacetyl and its unpredictability.

My main concern was long term O2 exposure in the small barrel.

I have a ton of ripe Concord Grapes growing in my back yard. Instead of adding my normal 10 pounds of tart cherries to my beer I thought Concord Grapes might be a nice substitute. Anyone have experience with grapes? Would I still use 2 pounds per gallon? Leave the beer on the grapes...

Jolly Pumpkin dregs and/or patience for the win. Cheers!

Invest in a Kegging setup. Assuming you already have temperature controls, good sanitation and take care your yeast, kegging will make a dramatic difference in hop aroma/flavor. Kegging gives you the ability to purge out Oxygen(your enemy) with C02. I also find split my dryhop half in primary...

Also in Michigan, my centennials are just developing into small cones, the cascade and Zeus are full of burrs, and the Chinook are just starting throw side arms.

The Tranny develop due to stress, hot weather, not enough water, too much water, ect. My Zeus did the same thing last year, the female flowers were great.

Any burrs yet?

My hops took a beating from a recent hail storm. 75 percent of the growth tips and sidearm were damaged. Its going to be a let down of a season from what I can see after a week of recovery. Some instantly started to burr (way too early) other just look terrible. A ton of new spouts also have...
