So apparently boiling water for 15 minutes and/or adding a campden tablet gets rid of chlorine. Well if I boil my wort for 60-90 minutes, would this not boil off any chlorine? Why am I adding a campden tablet?

I want the perfect Oktoberfest. The only commercial example I really like is Ayinger. I take my seasons, and my fall beer, seriously and so far my oktoberfests have been totally drinkable but they have not offered the deeply toasted malt lager flavor I am looking for.

Gonna make a summer brew, smoked peach saison. Has anyone done this before - any tips for me? I think I'll add the peaches to the secondary, maybe 2-3 whole peaches in a 5gal batch. Would you smoke the peaches directly, or would you add smoked malt instead? Cheers!

Well I hate to call a guy out, but it IS/(was) the 12 beers of "christmas" and we are now well into Jan 2020 and it seems that none of us have received anything from @bradccook. @bradccook, it appears that you log in regularly to this site, and have received all of our beers from the west coast...

I made several large purchases with them in October, spent a bunch of money with them, however they were so unresponsive and challenging to work with that I decided not to use them any more. Not surprised it's just me. It's too bad, I hate to see this happen. When I got into brewing in 2016...

Any updates to the Weizenbock from @bradccook? Did anyone get that beer?

Really happy you enjoyed that one!!
