Been away from HBT for a bit, just wondering what my grain brewin' buds are up on these days, what is everyone making? What is 'hot'?
I'm back!

100 IBU SMaSH IPAs are hot which ironically makes them cool.

We're already at 100+ here, so I brewed 9 gallons of what I call White Pepper Rye Saison last Saturday..

Which strain did you choose?

I opted for the special release from Austin/White Labs WLP560

It's chugging along nicely at 70-71F

Did you ever get a kegging setup so you could avoid bottling?

No, but I have a large number of 2 liter containers and a ton of 1 liter ez caps which makes bottling at least not terrible ;-)
But, that said, I really want to begin to keg. Where to begin? What's the best bang for the buck with function being the most important thing. I need at least a double tap setup

As for Saisons, can you guys provide some examples of what I might find in a well stocked beer store as good examples of the style... I like a target to brew towards -)

You may have luck finding DuPont, and since WLP550 is their house strain you could probably come somewhat close with a clone recipe. That's what I'm trying for

Welcome back Net. I'd recommend making a lager 3 months ago like I did.

That's ok. Just send me your brewery control and we'll call it even.

Dammit!
You want control of my brewerey? Would you also take full responisbility for the product? Heads Up...I don't
Another double post!? I want what you're drinkin'

I'm actually just doing this to boost my post count. Although if I get to drink beer all day and hang out with Yooper occasionally I guess it's a sacrifice I could make
Who told you that I drink beer all day? That is wrong! I drink beer at night...sometimes all night. I do hang out with Yooper "occasionally" so that part is okay. I just don't want to get a bad name around here you know...

Hennepin is a Saison that I buy from time to time. I know it doesn't really mean anything, but the airlock on my saison sure is putting out some great aroma! I can't wait to see how it comes out!
OP

Everything in brewin' means something! If the aroma was terrible smelling you certainly wouldn't be smilin'
these quintupple IPA's are pretty hot right now... and pretty easy to make. Just take some 2-Row (milled) and fill a pint glass half full of grain. Then fill the glass (with the grain) with vodka leaving room for 6oz of hops. Dump in hops and your quintupple IPA is done!

Well, the only arguement I have with this is the fact that I've had a couple batches (when I first started brewing) that actually smelled great out of the airlock, but tasted awful on bottling day. So, sometimes I think aroma can be misleading.

Just reading that made my liver retreat behind my kidneys where it's now cowering in fear.
