A little Belgian-Style Saison from Prairie. I have always been a stout guy, but I can't get enough Saison in my life.
Cute dog.... New? Pup?
I think that was an early christmas gift to the family about 3 weeks ago
Exactly
That explains the delicious looking Hot Chocolate!

Nice!
We got BCBS here this last release for the first time, but, to my knowledge, none of the variants.
How is that one? I just bought one over the holidays and put it in the cellar, should I drink it sooner or later?
So far my Smoked Black Saison (3 bottles left), a PBR, and a FG sample of my Maris/Willamette SMaSH.

Trying to figure out WTF happened with my brew day yesterday. 45% eff...missed my pre boil by over 2 gallons. Very confused.
So you used two more gallons than needed or less? That's a lot

Keep asking your places. They get distributed at different times. Massachusetts had it three weeks ago. We just got it today
My pre boil volume was over 2 gallons less.
I looked at the grain when I was done and nothing was dry or clumped. I was getting good flow with the first runnings then after I did my batch sparge. Water amounts were right each time according to Beer Smith as well as the general 1.25 quarts to pounds of grain (I had 13 lbs). I mashed with 4 gallons of water then my sparge water was actually 4.25 gallons. I ended up with 4 gallons of wort and 5 gallons pre-boil.
Even though I ****ed up the temp, I cannot imagine that would have resulted in smaller pre-boil volume. I'm confused and as I sat at work all day thinking about it, I got more annoyed and started to doubt moving to all grain. Sorry for the ramble. I have a thread on my f'ed up mash temp but that doesn't seem to have anything to do with the other issues. Who knows ... I'm just going to drink.
A splash of ranger creek + yeti = poor man's "barrel aged" stout. Delightful.
