Honestly, everyone raves about the raspberry puree from Oregon but I wasn't that pleased. I found it didn't have the acidic edge that the beer needs. I get this from the whole fruit but not from the puree. It's almost like the puree is a little too rounded in flavor. I need it to be sharper.

DUDE!!! Congrats! Another one for the trophy case! :mug:

Thanks! It's a great beer. I hope you like it! :mug:

I just racked this beer ontop of a 3 lbs can on Oregon Raspberry Puree. I've always done this with whole frozen fruit but I figured it was time I tried the puree. I'll post when results are in.

I dry hop it in the secondary for 7 days then condition for a month.

Went through music school and got a masters in bass performance. I played professionally for a handful of years. Now I teach music at a middle school and play 2-3 gigs a week with mostly jazz groups and the symphony.

I like to have enough room to fill my stein for big parties. Just my 2 cents.

Dean Martin cracks me up. That's pretty good.

brew something like a chocolate stout and do a blend in the glass.

Damnit he is too cool. I'll let the carboy thing slide. It if were Better Bottles I'd have something to say about it! :D I'd really like to see him hit a couple of lined up Bud kegs with a howetzer (sp)!!! :rockin:

I'm in for 1. PM me when you're ready. Please put a list up in the OP of definites.

I wish I could. I've changed comps a couple of times since then and have left it behind. I just got a new comp in fact and haven't brewed it since the new computer. You'll have to plug it in yourself! :D

I take my time and keg my batches after about a month and a half. I usually don't have much patience after that and drink as soon as it's carbed but it hits it's peak about a month after kegging.
