...Dont tell mine! I probably need to take a break after this... Hah! My package will drop tonight after work. Everything's laid out just gotta put in all the filler and seal 'er up!

Dang! That was quick!

Alright, I'm in for a second. I'll grant this wish!

Here's the near final product of the 1st half of the batch. This 3 gallons got: 1.5 Vanilla Beans, split and soaked in vodka for 1 week. Dumped all contents into secondary @ (2 weeks) 4oz cocoa powder (2 weeks) 4 packs of frozen organic blackberries (fancy) from sprouts (2 weeks) 8oz lactose...

No, it's out of date... Too much drinking, too little updating, HAH! Good catch ;-)

Did you use the actual root for the sassafras, or extract? If extract, how much? I cant seem to find sassafras bark for sale anywhere that has it in stock... Is it because of the FDA ban? Or is it a seasonal item? I have no idea...

I highly suggest making it with the coriander and orange zest (from 2 medium/large oranges) if you hadn't planned on it already. It really makes the beer. You'll enjoy it. I made 3 batches for giveaways at my wedding. Here's the thread I started on the kit...

this is amazing. Good job! I can't wait to see how this continues to unfold. Echoing many here... Very inspiring! I just started brewing this year and things have gotten carried away to say the least! People have been encouraging me to look into commercializing, but I feel like "Im such a...

Sounds good! I cant wait to try some of my first batch. Fermentation should be wrapping up shortly!

Looks great! Thanks for letting us know how it came out!

You guys werent kidding about that active fermentation! I setup a blow-off into a second vessel and it went NUTS! Luckily my wife had the foresight to put the second vessel into a bigger bowl (just in case). That would have been a challenge to clean even for the steam cleaner with how sticky...

I would sub coconut water for coconut cream (not the same as milk). You should even be able to get it organiz. I dont think the coconut water would impart much flavor. Maybe even coconut flakes/chips floating in primary.

Yeah, I'm sure I messed something up somewhere. Oh well, not a big deal. I'll pay closer attention next time I make this. I was probably multitasking a bit too much while I put this together.

I'm curious what your starting gravity? I'm wondering because I attempted your version as a gallon batch for the added gravity but ended up using the whole pound instead of half! I ended up with about 1.065 I'm going to use nottingham though so I doubt I'll get that low.

^What he said. With my NB kits, I typically dip the bottles into the wort to fill them with hot water, put the lid back on and shake (quickly but gently to avoid an exploding bottle of hot wort) and then pour everything in.

The kit doesnt actually include those items. It does tell you that you can add those adjuncts for a la petite orange, "blanche" but it's optional. I made this recipe and it was quite tasty. Enough so much that I bottled 200 for my wedding. I did include the zest as well as the coriander...
