Bump. I don't know the answer to your question but I hope a bump will produce some results. Good luck on the wedding brew!

Awesome. Keep us posted on results. I'm anxious to see how this turns out. Take a picture if you can too. I love me some s'mores :)

Good call. I will be sure to keep you updated. Hopefully gonna brew it this week; if not, next week for sure.

Any updates on this?

Yeah I do starters so I will use a liquid yeast and pitch my starter. As long as the grain bill and spices look good imma give it a go.

Thanks for the input. I was wondering myself if it was a bad idea to mix the 6-row and 2-row. I've made a few adjustments: 8lbs Pale Malt (2-row) 1lb Munich I (Weyermann) 8 oz Carapils (Briess) 0.50 Hallertauer [4.80%] First Wort 60 min 0.50 Willamette [5.50%] 20 min German Kolsch (WLP029) 10...

Hey all, So this is actually going to be my first all-grain brew. I wanted to get some input on how my recipe looks to some more experienced brewers. I gathered the prickly pear myself in West Texas near Junction, TX. They will be sliced and put into the secondary. Here's the recipe: 6lbs Pale...
