After the kids went to bed, I brewed up a not-to-style Saison (playing with yeast and hops). My name's Jason, so I called it "Jaison." The Belle Saison yeast is jackhammering the wort as I type this.

Me too. Citra is my favorite. I have two house brews - variants of each other - that are all-Citra. In fact, I had to force myself not to buy more Citra ladt time I purchased hops in an effort to branch out.

^^^ This! My new chilling procedure.

Dark n Light Light bodied, high hop session beer with a little dark malt tossed in for flavor and color. To be dry hopped with Cascade, Centennial and a dash of Citra. Sent from my iPhone using Home Brew

Someone mentioned 21st Amendment in SF. Be sure to hit up their "cousin" Magnolia Brew Pub in the Haight. Magnolia and 21st team up for theme beer events - Strong Beer Month each Feb. for one. Some cask conditioned offerings and they usually have hard to find out of region/state/country beers on...

9 lbs. of DME, Safale US-05 and a fountain pump for my recirculating ice water wort chiller experiment. Drought and high temps out here in CA make it tough to cool wort right from the faucet. Sent from my iPhone using Home Brew

My own plastic/band-aid/medicinal issues were apparently a result of chloramine and were solved with campden tablets. Sent from my iPhone using Home Brew

I've done three separate batches of all-Citra brew - boiling the hops, and dry-hopping - and never have had the cat piss aroma or flavor. I have had all-Citra brews with the cat piss aroma, though. Sent from my iPhone using Home Brew

I dry hopped a Pilsner DME-based brew earlier this week with Citra. Calls for using darker malts are good advice *if* that flavor profile is what you're looking for. I was going for a lighter body and flavor with balanced bittering, but with a lot of Citra aroma. NOT an IPA, but more of a hoppy...

I used Danstar Belle in a Saison and it was absolute monster in the fermenter. Sent from my iPhone using Home Brew

Is she a fan of Tioga Sequoia brewery? They sponsor live music nights in Fresno pretty frequently. Sent from my iPhone using Home Brew

Neice's 5th birthday party, helping my mom plant a veggie garden. Then, after my kids are in bed, bottling Saison du Vin and Honey Kölsch batches. Sent from my iPhone using Home Brew

I have my first 3 batches that have been treated with campden tabs fermenting now. The chloramine plastic taste from our muni water is noticeable only when I beer burp, oddly enough. Also with the lower gravity batch where the plastic burp effect is most pronounced - meaning barely but...

Yep. So far just toss the hops in. Haven't tried a bag to cut down on debris. I have strained dry-hopped beer into the bottling bucket though. Cut way down on hops in the bottles. Sent from my iPhone using Home Brew

There are are three batches percolating now, nestled around my house, which were brewed with filtering/finings to see what I like best. Transferred to primary using a paint strainer bag, brewed with Scottish moss, etc. The results will tell me what, if any of these, ends up with something worth...

I picked up a Camp Chef 60K BTU burner from Target (had gift cards) and like it. It's online only on sale for $43 right now. If you have a Red account, you might get 5% off but will get free shipping. It has a stand. The one review for it is mine too. Sent from my iPhone using Home Brew

Elementary school teacher here. There are two other home brewers at my school. We talk a lot about brewing in the office but substitute "milk" for "beer" in our conversations. I started brewing while recovering from surgery after a moto accident last summer. Plan to sell the bike soon and use...

Yes! But give the hops some time - a week or so - between the hop drop and bottling to give the hops time to settle to the bottom of the fermentor. It's not unusual, in my experience, for the hops to cause CO2 to escape and appear to reawaken fermentation.

Fermentation buckets, hops and a NB Antithesis Saison kit.
