What a beer! Without a doubt my best homebrew to date.
I pitched two vials of WLP300 (I was feeling lazy) at 75 degrees in hopes of heavy banana esters and let it self adjust to an ambient temp of 70 degrees. It fermented down to 1.004 in 48 hours, at which point I threw 3 cups of pureed...
Oh wow, just tried one after 4 days in the bottle. This is an awesome brew. VERY close to Ruination. Even though it's still green (and not just from the ridiculous amount of hop particles I was unable to filter out), it already has that same great malt/hop balance that ruination has.
Can't...
I just transferred to secondary and tried the gravity sample. It's not even done yet and it's incredible. I can already tell this is going to be one of my best batches yet!
My mother had this exact procedure done 7 or 8 years ago. Recovery did take a while, but she's still going strong today after all these years. Good luck man.
