I raise this recipe from the dead!!!! Haven't revisited this one recently but I'm teaching a few gents how to brew and have decided this was a perfect beer to achieve that end.. I hope somebody sees this recipe and gives it a try, delicious stuff!

You under pitched, but I wouldn't fuss over it, it just may take longer to ferment, and then maybe let it bulk age a couple/few weeks longer to clean up after itself if there are off flavors..... You may lose some hop flavor in the aging, so dry hop a week before bottling or kegging.

My only concern with syrup for priming is that the sugar content of natural maple syrup varies from tree to tree, varies based on the summer/winter prior to harvest, and how much concentration was achieved via boiling for packaging. This variance could lead to over or under carbed bottles.

You expected less than great? I'm not sure how that makes me feel. :D :D

Are you kegging or bottling? I can't see an issue with a shorter time as long as things aren't still fermenting, I've kegged it after 10 days total fermentation time and have loved it!

Very nice! 1.000 is darned dry, I think it's going to be awesome!!

@depper No need to clarify with gelatin, the yeast are welcome in a hazy farmhouse ale, carb and drink this one fresh, hits the spot after a bit of yardwork!

Dear lawn, Please slow your grow, having to mow every other day is wearing my mower out Sincerely, Why did I fertilize?

I prefer mine fresh, though with some time in the bottle it's very good but the flavours mellow a bit

I also find the flavors come out more after carbonation

The honey ferments out almost completely, and depending on the pepper used its rather subtle, all things balance so as not to be single faceted.

7 lbs might work well, or get the Oregon puréed fruit, I think that it lends a bigger flavor

Mayhap the same day, 10 gallons of each

I need to add this to my short list again, next is an oatmeal chipotle stout, then this one

When I brew my blueberry summer ale I use 5 lbs of fresh picked berries, I wash em, freeze em, thaw and smush them prior to racking onto them, it adds a week to 10 days to my grain to glass timeframe.

Awesome! Raise a glass at the reception for home brewing!

Another awesome post! I love it!!!

And gloves too...... I suffered a severed tendon in my finger due to an exploding glass bottle. My finger doesn't straighten completely to this day.

Hells yeah! That sort of thing makes me a very proud papa! Congrats on the gold my friend! I need to scroll this thread and get a medal count going. :rockin::rockin:

Hmm, I always just bottle off the keg after carbonating, no fuss and it goes rather quickly.... I don't have a bottling bucket so I'm sort of stuck bottling that way, never had an issue even with competition beer bottles
