Thanks for the heads up! Usually I monitor the twitters and find out that way but nothing for this round. I almost feel a little bad since this is the second time this year I loaded up on Bug Country, love it :ban:

Grabbed two ECY20s woot woot!

Saison blend + brett for sure! One of the best beers I've made and it got a blue ribbon. The Dry Belgian Ale is also great, just be careful as it's an attenuation animal. I thought the Wallonian Farmhouse was OK but I only made one beer with it so take it for what it's worth.

Got my order in! Missed the last release of Bug Country so I'm glad they had more.

Using a muslin bag is definitely an option. If I'm making a higher IBU beer I'll use one to keep the amount of trub down. For low IBU beers I don't bother with the bag since there isn't much hop material. Using a bag isn't going to help your clarity though, just reduce trub. I'd suggest cold...

I haven't killed myself yet! My hot tub RIMS, new not used, has been rockin' it for a few years now with no signs of slowing down.

Looks wonderful. Just kegged my first BoPils a couple days ago, hope it looks that good! Sent from my iPhone using Home Brew

Got mine preordered today as soon as the AHA email came in! Now I'll be watching the mail like I watch fresh wort waiting for the yeast to kick in. Sent from my iPad using Home Brew

Yeah, I'd check the gravity as it's probably done. 3711 is one if my favorite yeasts and it always finishes real quick for me. Sent from my iPhone using Home Brew

I wouldn't worry about it, I always under pitch my Belgians. About a month ago I did a 1.056 wort and pitched this blend, it performed wonderfully and was down to 1.007 after two weeks. The latest sample has a nice bright citrus smell and the taste has a good funk, the website description is...

I'm using one of the new big mouth 6 gallon glass carboys. Since I do 5.5 gallon batches plus my OG was a little high so I diluted there isn't a whole lot of headspace. I've opened it once to check the gravity but that's it. Gravity was 1.07 and I'm expecting it to get a bit lower, shooting for...

Thanks. I'm not a worry wort but when I've never done something I like to know I'm safe.

A couple weeks back I made a saison and pitched the Yeast Bay Saison/Brett blend at 70F. Boy did that vial smell awesome and the fermentation has been great as well! I wanted to let the Brett work for a while, keeping it at 70F, to develop flavors. But at this temperature should I worry about...

+5 gallons of my Trippin' Trues'dAle Belgian IPA 9048

+1 CRoth36 I'm a beer nut and homebrew plenty. I make wine for the women in my life. Keeping the wife happy and sauced up allows me to brew more :D
