I'm writing an article for HomebrewTalk comparing homebrewing software applications and I'd like to be able to include some quotations from actual homebrewers. Do you have one that you really like? Tried others that didn't suit your needs? Found a great one that just came out? I'd love to hear...

What system/equipment did you use for your all-grain brewing? I'm thinking ahead. Maybe dreaming would be more accurate.

Ryne!

I can't say the same. I brewed my first two batches in 1998. Our three kids were born in 99, 01, and 04. I started brewing again in 2016 and have been going strong ever since. My "babies" are now able to enjoy the fruits of my labor! AG is on my bucket list for retirement! LOL

Women! Can't live with 'em ... pass the Beer Nuts. LOL

Welcome aboard and good luck with your ale!

Looking forward to hearing from you.

Today (oops, yesterday already) I brewed a 5 gallon batch of Who's In The Garden Grand Cru Ale, a copy of the Belgian Hoegaarden Grand Cru, which I found in Charlie Papazian's The New Complete Joy of Home Brewing. The first time I tried it was last July (2017), and it turned out so well that I'm...

I found Who's In The Garden Grand Cru Ale in Charlie Papazian's The New Complete Joy of Home Brewing. It starts with a 1.5 gal. boil. It uses honey, coriander seed and orange peel.

I'd love to do that bottle swap and meet a fellow homebrewer. I see your profile is not specific on your locale. If you're serious, you can PM me. Read the yeast article and found it interesting. My new batch is showing some signs of fermentation, but the airlock isn't yet bubbling away. This is...

Thanks dmtaylor! I am looking at two contests, one in Fargo and one in Madison. They seem to come at about the right time. I brewed this afternoon and the Who's In The Garden Grand Cru Ale is now fermenting in my Big Mouth Bubbler.

Thanks for your advice schematix. I guess I'm looking for technical feedback. I make what I like to drink. I haven't made any pure swill yet, though some batches have definitely been better than others. I'm wondering if anyone ever posts contest scoresheets. Having never seen one, I'm curious as...

BTW it is the yeast you posted, exactly. I tried a can of Fast Pitch to create a starter for it yesterday. They recommend 48 hours, but I didn't have the patience to wait that long. I figure it's better than just pitching the wort without any starter like I did the only other time I used this...

Thanks, Kent. I had looked at the guidelines, which is how I made my guess on the appropriate style in which to enter this one. Update: I brewed it this afternoon (Sat. 9/22), before reading your reply. I actually added honey after the boil. The recipe called for 2-3/4 lbs. and the bottle had 3...

That's something I might not have thought to do. Excellent advice. Thank you!

O.G.: 1.005-1.059 F.G.: 1.004-1.008 Not sure a bout the IBUs, but it takes almost 2 oz. of Hallertauer hops (bitterness, flavor, and aroma). Last time I brewed it, it was a golden color, I'm guessing about 4 degrees L. I'll use 023 Omega Grand Cru yeast. It uses Extra Light DME, 2-3/4 lbs. of...

Thanks for your input. Will do!

Thanks for such a timely response! I'm in Minnesota, very near the Twin Cities, and it looks like Fargo, ND, and Madison, WI, are within the timeframe and near enough that I won't have to worry too much about getting bottles safely there. ???

Thank you for responding. Would a batch of the 'Who's in the Garden Grand Cru Ale from Charlie Pappazian's wonderful book qualify as a Belgian Ale Witbier (24A)??
