    Jack it up!

    Seems strange to go through all this trouble and not do a standard mash/lauter

    Spring Water For Extract Brew???

    The source is irrelevant, it's your water chemistry that matters. If you don't have chlorinated tap water, I would just use that. I add gypsum to my water, especially important with IPA.

    Fall beer styles

    Mash higher . 158 even . Cal lager is recommended up to 72f

    Fall beer styles

    Try California lager yeast. Doesn't need to be nearly as cool and still produces a malty profile. I've never had diacytl problems either

    Fall beer styles

    Dead guy is a maibock. But a bock would be pretty good on a crisp fall day too

    Fall beer styles

    My favorite fall beers would be Oktoberfest, porter, scotch ale, and American brown. I've started becoming partial to dunkelweizen as well. It's all personal taste, but in general I prefer the shift to malty beers- in preparation for stout season

    Planning to do a BIG beer.

    Why are you worrying about temperature control with a saison?

    Planning to do a BIG beer.

    You will need to be below 70f. I would look around here for some swamp cooler ideas.

    Adding gelatin, then kegging and rolling keg to force carb: Stupid?

    Why did you put gelatin in the keg rather than the fermenter? When I add fininings I will rack off them into a keg. Maybe I'm wrong but I'd think your first few pours would be a lot of sediment. Then again I don't use gelatin often

    Educate me...my first weird occurrence

    A smackpack is not a starter in the sense that it does not increase cell counts. It isn't some obscure nurient soup either; it's simply yeast metabolizing in anoxic conditions- meaning no cellular reproduction. In other words, if you activated the smackpack and then opened the pouch you would...

    Contemplating delving into small batch brewing

    A bucket isn't very expensive. Either are the plastic water jugs for water coolers. I know some people who enjoy 1 gal batches, but in my opinion it's not worth the trouble
