I was hoping to do a spruce tip amber. I would prefer not to brew it until the fall though. Sounds like seasonally it should occur sooner than later or perhaps get them now and freeze them? Does anyone know whether the spruce notes will be lost if I brew it sooner than later. I was hoping to...

Good to know... Looks like I should just go with it.

Good to know it seems that I'm brewing more of a belgium style than a saison then... the description on wyest site made me think it would pair well with amarillo, nelson, rye and some strawberries but now Im thinkin twice about that.

I just want to make sure if won't put off belgian flavors. I was even thinking of racking it over 1 lb/gallon of pasteurized strawberries. But maybe I need to do a little more reading to make sure I don't F this one up.

Thanks I'm trying to find the temp that limits the fruity notes. I paired this with rye and a little honey malt. Plus I'm going to dry hop with a little amarillo and nelson.

Anybody had experience with 3711 at 72 degrees. I can't get it down below that because of how vigorous it is fermenting and that's with my ferm cabinet

Sure thing I want to age some so I will hook you up. My bud has a corker so I was thinking of scoring some bomber bottles and cork and caging or maybe capping and waxing the tops. pizza boy is suppose to be releasing a black sour, raspberry sour and blackberry sour in the near future. We'll...

Yeah maybe I will just get a bottle of something I originally was going to order the balcones blue corn whiskey but 65 not including shipping left me thinking would it be acceptable to just get a bottle of corn whiskey or bourbon. I'm leaning to some makers or knob creek. Good to know about...

Well the wife was nice enough to purchase a 5 gallon barrel for me. Honestly I don't know what date it was dumped but she indicated that it was recentlying dumped.... This was from there blue corn whiskey. Any recommendations on next steps..... I want to do a founders breakfast clone. I...

Same here seehuusen... I will be installing a sight glass on my hlt and boil kettle just so I can better manage my volumes. Brewing on a new system was just another excuse/reason for me.

Good to know looks like I will keep to cascade and use the lemon drop hops in something different. I was thinking of doing a spin on a kolsch so maybe I do late hop additions with them along some meyer lemon zest a touch of thyme and lavender. Thanks again.

So are they truly super cascade.... I was going to sub lemon drop for cascade and mosiac for simcoe in a jai alai clone...

I pitched one packet per the brewmaster at the local home brew store. Probably should have pitched two packets but it was fermenting 12 hours in. Looks like the yeast woke back up for me 72 hrs in.... Now my temps are sky rocketing in the ferm cabinet. Now I have to drop the temps to...

I mashed at 150, I've been fermenting at around 63. I'm at about 72 hrs, fermentation with the s-04 seems to be slowing down so I bumped it to 65. Anyone else get pretty potent bumblegum/nectarine smell from their ferm cabinet? I did not read any racking to the secondary so I'm dry hopping...

Are you putting any additional zest in or was it just at the boil? Let me know how it tastes it nothing else I will borrow your concept on my hoppy wheat.

Yeah I can't put finger on this. I recently was drinking quite a bit of grapefruit ipas and grapefruit sours. They were not like the grapefruit sculpin. I'm actually planning a hoppy wheat with grapefruit zest.

Thanks for the juju and white rajah sandstonecitybrew.

Yeah I'm doing all grain so its good to know that I don't need to add another step steeping. Now for hopefully the last question. The citra, I picked up has an alpha of 13.6 beta of 3.4. After putting in the hop additions in beersmith I'm coming up with an outrageous IBU qty i.e. over 100...

In terms of steeping let me just clarify the question. Can I just include the specialty grains in the mash versus steeping. The brewmaster at the home brew store seemed to think that I could just mash all of the grains together. When I milled the grain, I just threw them all in.... I'm...
