hope no one minds a noob answering this - in my experience I actually came out with slightly more, ie - like -.07 - .10 lbs more syrup/hard candy than sugar because there is some water in it - so, if you use 1lb of cane sugar, you might end up with 1.07 to 1.10 lbs of candi syrup/hard if I...

really getting into dark strongs/quads and this is a great thread - would love to see a cross between this and Rochefort 8 or 10 and if anyone has any experience adding other levels of flavor or replacing flavors with something like black licorice or amaretto and if they might work with this...

thanks - I will make sure to keep on top of this as it progresses - Saisons are quickly becoming a favorite - I also love Dark Strongs and Dubbels so I'm playing around with the idea of a little black licorice / amaretto infusion into one of those styles what are some of your recent recipes...

Thanks for the roast v. no roast info. What is strange is that the FG read 1.000 but it didn't feel too dry - can it be loaded with these beta-glucans and still not add body but give the fuller mouth feel effect? Like I said, I def got the vegetal in the nose but not necessarily in taste so it...

thanks for the sticky heads up - I'm just gathering in general that t_i_m_e is what I will need to decide what works, doesn't work v. my personal preferences - thanks - more valuable info to consider :mug:

very good point - so would you say this is just for convenience sake? My noobness made me think that this might eliminate some "green" time but I can see where it might just be because it is better than having to deal with bottles, but still have to give it its time thanks for that!

Hi Everyone - I've only been home-brewing for 6 months and this is my 4th all grain batch. My wife loves Saisons (so do I) so I've spent a little more time with this style - seems to be a forgiving style for someone new to the realm. I've done a Koslch, Tripel/Dubbel Hybrid, and a more...

Kegging is a mid to long term goal for me - would love to do it, and especially since I'm impatient - I would love to hear from some vets about sugar priming v. force carbing, what the difference in taste may or may not be and if this is something especially noticeable with Belgians/Saisons...

Finally opened a Mr. Beer kit I received as Xmas gift 2 years ago. I thought the beers were a little metallic tasting and maybe I just didn't know what I was doing. Then I read up on all grain v. extract v. partial and I got hooked on the endless possibilities and creativity I could have with...

hey Poobah, new to these forums - I wanted to let you know that I used your recipe as a starting point for my first Pumpkin Saison - "All Hallows' Evening Saison" - only been brewing for 6 months so I'm pretty new to it - love the Saison style and thought I'd say thanks. Since we're out of...

Hi everyone - I've just started making home brews in the past 6 months. I can honestly say this is my favorite hobby ever and really haven't had a true hobby since collecting comics when I was 10 (now going on 30). To give you a background on how I got into it, my bro-in-law bought me a Mr...
