No way I'd do 3 gallon batches. Same amount of work for less beer? 5 gallons is where it's at.

Here's your excuse to buy a mill!

There's a lot of stuff in there! And it all needs to be laid out and connected by hand.

I order bulk 2 row, MO, and Pilsner. Also bulk IPA hops. Everything else from LHBS.

If I could buy one again, I'd go with Jaded. Made my own long ago; it works. Pump and ice is too fussy for me.

Crazy deal

In case it wasn't clear from other answers, no you can't.

I buy 1lb increments, in freezer vacuum sealed. Cut them open to use, then reseal. I don't generally have a problem. Hops Direct is where I go. I'm unwilling to pay $$ for the popular hops, so I use the less popular ones.

You water your hops? Mine get totally ignored. They fend for themselves. I suppose I watered them when I first planted, but they're on they're own now.

Just let it go. Hops require no management on your part except keeping them from taking over.

This is my go-to saison. I've brewed it probably 10x. Recently brewed this spring with WLP670 - sacc and Brett. It is sitting in a keg at cellar temp. The mixed yeast strain is awesome. Character it's developing over time is superb.

I've definitely made this with T58. Tasty.

Did you hit the mash temp?

I can't remember how long I cold-conditioned. I will say that I have made it without cold conditioning and it is not as good.

Cranberry saison.

Jesus. I have a small chest freezer in addition to the keezer; no way I'm buying more food. I could live for 3-4 weeks on what I have now. What do you possibly fill 4 freezers with??

You can mimic the flavor of MO in a beer by adding some specialty malts to basic 2row. I seem to remember using Vienna and Biscuit to do this, but it's been a while. Now I just buy MO.

Educate me: gas-fired Ooni vs pizza on my Weber Genesis. Is there a difference? Do I need an extra appliance?

I feel like that's just the cost of doing business with hoppy beers. Are there ways of mitigating this that I don't know, aside from mesh bag / hop spider? I think you're losing that wort either way as soon as you hydrate those hops.

Have to agree. I was a bottler for 12 years and gave away a lot more then. Harder to give away now.
