How old was it on March 8th? I first sampled mine at about 6 weeks and it was incredibly dry with very little apple flavor. Now, at ~4 months, it has a much different (and better) flavor. Don't dump it; put it in the back of the closet and forget about it for a while.

919 + 10 = 929 BierMuncher's Centennial Blonde with a special ingredient (the bee that got a little too close to the boil and ended up being a late insect addition)

WLP001 I just made this with Safale 05, and it came out great.

Yeah, I was more impressed than anything else. I was convinced I had plenty of space, but the yeasties had a different idea. There's nothing better that a violent fermentation. :rockin: (though I better check it again before I go to bed)

WLP400 laughs at this. I have the same fermenter, and I put 10 gallons on top of a WLP400 cake yesterday. I came home tonight to a clogged airlock (krausen shower #1). I swapped the airlock for a blow off tube and checked it 5 minutes ago - it was also clogged (krausen shower #2), so I swapped...

I had the pleasure of seeing the progress in person today. It's even more impressive in person than the pictures show. I'm absolutely blown away by the project (and more than a little jealous). Ed - Thanks for your hospitality today. You and your wife made my son's day.

Thanks for the pointer to the Wit recipe. That looks very nice. I live in Cedar Park.

Yes, still all grain. I lean toward hoppy ales, especially IPAs, but my next brew will be a Belgian Wit, and the current keg (and last, until I brew some more) is a Heffe. I have a jury rigged setup with a cooler mash tun with a PVC manifold. Three-tier, gravity, using whatever is available...

I started brewing in '97, while living in Atlanta and averaged 5 gallons a week for a couple of years. I did about 10 extract batches before switching to all grain. I moved to Austin in 2000 and life got in the way of my brewing obsession until 2002, when I brewed a bunch and started kegging...

I've found everything in my life* (including this place) through Google. *Except for SWMBO: I found her through Yahoo.
