Sounds good, to me Riverfront. Thats still a lot of wheat, but I can learn to like it.

Ill take 100Lbs Pale Is he doing smaller orders of the wheat? It would take me years to get through a whole sack, but 15-20lbs I could use.

Ill be there tonight, pretty stoked!

Is this a Pre-chiller then? Or whats the reason behind putting it in a 5 Gallon bucket?

Laughing Lab was named for the brewers dog. They even had a wake when the dog passed. Hmm, my dogs name is Buzz... Buzz Beer? Seems taken.

I generally base it off of whim and what hops I have in the freezer. Thats the advantage to having a decent variety of grain on hand. Or if I have something coming up, such as a hunting trip, I will build a beer for that.

I make a strait cider with nothing but frozen apple juice, fermaid-k and Nottingham. Its pretty decent at 4 weeks primary 3 weeks condition/carb... cheap too!

Looks like the perfect size bottle for a test batch!

I like cherry or apple smoked myself. However Alaskan uses Alder in their smoked porter. I dont personally like Rauch in porters, the backbone of the beer just doesnt seem to match well. Maybe a blend of a little peated and rauch would be good?

Rofl at work... I would also say twist it the other way.

camelback of hb while engaging in nookie?

Put it in a water bath inside a ice chest if you have one large enough, that should help average it out. You can also try using the swamp cooler method to keep it down.

It really varies year to year. Frankly the best Marzen I have had was a split, between Vetter Marzen (Only available in Heidelberg, GE) and Hacker-Pschor at their tent in Munich during the fest. I really dont care for their import all that well, so I think that the beer, combined with the fest...

Its so true... what a perspective.

Cherry is the stronger of the two, but I think you have a good amount in there anyway. If you were using beachwood I would reccomend more like 60% Profile. As far as the late hopping goes, it will take away from the smokiness and the herbs, I would stay away from it, Perhaps a small addition...

Well that sucks, I have a truck large enough to pick up a pallet, but by the time I factor in fuel I could get 3 sacks at the LHBS. It sounds like unless we have a huge order this idea is out the window.

Blah wrong post, talk about bringing up the dead.

I made a pretty good starter from flour, sugar and a beer that had an infection (Never throw a batch away!) Its gotten a bit better with time, but it was a quick start in a pinch. My loaves never look as good as Freeze's though.

Hopefully everyone is subscribed, can everyone post in raw numbers how much they want? This way we can get a count and see how close we are, I had great luck with their malt and would much rather by from CMC and keep the money in state. Id take 100Lbs Pale.

I think you would be fine to move to secondary and add the fruit later, assuming your headspace is not to large. As an alternative: Craisins are dried cranberries, probably would absorb some beer but they are delicious, I am unsure if they have any preservatives.
