Thanks for the 411 and the recipe. Your recipe is spot on what I was looking to do and can't wait to try it. How are things in my Old Kentucky Home? I'm from a small town in Boyd County near the Ohio River. Go Big Blue!

What temp did you ferment at to achieve these esters? This flavor profile I'm looking for, but I don't want to push it into bad ester land by ramping up the temp too hot.

Hey everyone I've got a question that I hope someone can help me with. I purchased a couple of Craigslist special corney kegs this weekend that I broke down, cleaned, and replaced the rings on. I had a DFH 90min clone that had been sitting on a dry hop for a week longer than planed so I wanted...
