i got some bottles into sanitizer as well as a siphon so i can go take a gravity reading in a little bit! its finally feeling like a brew is coming together for me and its wonderful! ~Cthulhu

wait so rye can or cant be steeped? i dont think i will have to, i think ill get as much rye as i need from the LME

https://omegayeast.com/yeast/hybrids/saisonsteins-monster anyone ever use this? its what NB recommends for the second kit im going to order with the Lemondrop Saison and i can get it at my local HBS yeah i just would prefer to not use Candi Syrup in the brew and im already trying to add in...

looking at this and this feels almost exactly how i imagine my first one will go. may try using the ratios of this one and just sub LME Rye for the Extra Light, and use DME Light or Extra light instead of the amber. and the honey instead of the candi syrup perhaps? maybe substitute Mandarina...

i was thinking about trying to get rye LME for the rye content actually. just made the most sense to me right away. what if i get LME for both the rye and pilsen light? or would doing LME rye and DME light pilsen be fine?

https://www.whitelabs.com/yeast-bank/wlp590-french-saison-ale-yeast everything i buy will be from a local homebrew store when i can. will get this one kit to try out first though from online but no yest so thats fine, just that price seems pretty unbeatable. as for yeasts i thank you for your...

Thinking I’d be going with white labs French Saison yeast or Belgian Saison Yeast II. And for the DME on that would Light or Maris otter work better? also how would I go about adding rye?Grain steeping?

That’s more what I meant. Misused the term racking here I guess. I figure the limes, honey, lime juice, and probably some extra hops all go in the fermenter. literally reading through my copy of How to Brew as I type this! And yeah I will be following the book moreso than kit instructions! Haha...

Tempted on the 26gal and coil setup. Might take me a couple weeks to put the dough together though.

This is my Cattle Dog Dahlia(or Dolly for short) she’s a princess. And this is dolly and my roommate’s dog snoopy caught sleeping on the couch!

Thanks for the pointers! induction could work for me but I’d rather use fire. Just personal preference. I am a Glassblower so I understand fire very well and am more comfortable with it than electronics, that being said, my kitchen stovetop is an IR induction burner and that’s what I’ll have to...

@IslandLizard Thanks for your input! The major two things on that list I still have to figure out are numbers 3 and 7. 3 I figure I can do partial-boil for the first couple batches until I acquire this 10 gal boil kettle on local craigslist and a burner big enough to handle it(therein solving...

Thanks. I have put in a ton of time and energy into studying it and all the things you mentioned, have been for quite some time now but just finally decided I couldn’t hold out any longer since most of my other hobbies/things I love were ruined due to COVID-19 killing my business and therefore...

Yeah, I figured that would be too complicated for a first go. maybe my dreams of starting with Saisons So I don’t have to spend all the time and money making beer I don’t really want to drink to get good enough to make saisons are a little dumb. Maybe I’ll just brew a bunch of pale ales for now.

Thanks for the input guys! Thinking I want to try for a rye saison with honey and lime. So would there be a good setup I could buy ingredients wise to get that going ASAP? still gotta acquire decent sized boiling kettle and fermenter but if I can set my sights on an ingredients list I know I’ll...
