Brewed this and served it at a local fest our homebrew club does every year. Blind side by side with BLVD wheat and two Pro brewers chose mine as the BLVD, three others choose correct but stated they liked this version better. Very nice recipe.

Pics coming soon

6# pork butt, some Cole slaw, stuffed peppers and corn bread.

You get a soapy taste if you primary to long. Dont know how long you primary.

That mash temp is low for browns and porters even if you like a dry beer. Don't know what your OG was but 1.024 seems a high FG.

Almost 4 years. Love it. Tart green apple. Hoarding the last of my bottles.

Invest in a refractometer. Easiest way to check your numbers as you go. Batch Sunday was 2 points low, but a little more volume than I needed. Started a boil, checked a couple times till I hit the # then started the clock. To me a refractometer is one of the must haves. Can check numbers...

A member of our club turned a old treadmill into a mill. Very heavy.

Let mine sit for 4+ years. Tasted fantastic carbed. Dry enough where it almost was a sour apple taste to it.

There are 3 clubs that come to mind in the st Louis area, stl brews, stl hops, and the Garage Brewers in St Charles. I am a member of the Garage Brewers. Members are always doing brew days and having people over to check out the systems, and " quality control"
