First off, great thread (and great original thread). So I want to reuse some yeast from one of my saisons I brewed this spring. I made a 10% wort solution with 500 ml of water. Pitched the dregs from 2 bottles into the solution. Let it sit about 2.5 days (yeast became active again). I just...

Cool. I racked to secondary today for 14 days of dry hopping. FG-1.014 for an ABv of 7.4%. The color is exact Taste was perfect. The taste, bitterness, and mouthfeel are all spot on. The only thing missing is the nose, which I anticipate will be there after the dry hopping. This seriously...

I'm bottling and I've got 5 gal in the primary right now. I have 2 oz of Nugget and 1 oz of Warrior for dry hopping. Think that'll do it?

I made this too with the grain profile here and the hop schedule from the other thread. Going to transfer to secondary and dry hop in another couple of days then bottle next week.

Wow, what a fantastic beer. I started drinking it last weekend at ~3 weeks in the bottle and it was on point. Just the perfect amount of aroma and flavor from the dry hopping (I think dropping down to .75 oz really helped) on the back end combined with the upfront spice from the yeast. Just a...

try it yet? i did this grain profile but haven't brewed yet...am looking to do so in the next day or so

I believe they told me in an email they were sold out after I ordered. I posted on the last page where I got mine. Some organic store. As far as yeast goes, I think the tank 7 is excellent so it would probably fine. Fermentation temp is more important to flavor than which saison yeast you use...

Mash temp? Fermentation temp? time in primary/secondary/bottles?

so since there is a shortage of Simcoe, what would be a good substitute?

how long did you have to let this sit in the bottles until it tasted right?

any update?

Brewed on Saturday 2/11/12. Scaled recipe back to 5.5 gal, ended up with 5.25 at an OG of 1.053. Fermentation started within 12 hours, going strong right now in the mid 70s. Going to hold it for another day or two then ramp it up with my fermwrap belt.

So I ended up buying the hops from Brew organic because homebrew4less was actually sold out. http://www.breworganic.com/newzealandnelsonsauvinpellethops1oz.aspx brewing tomorrow.

how did it turn out?

I bought them from homebrew4less. Was about $10 after USPS priority shipping for 2 oz. But the only place I could find them.

Just ordered the ingredients for this. Sounds like right up my alley as far as how I like my saisons. What temp did you ferment at?

Made this today for my first all-grain batch. Dropped a screwdriver by accident into the wort when I was tightening the hose clamps on my wort chiller. Those 2 things combined...I shall call it: My First Screw Was a Blonde
