Plate chiller for sure. It is not fun filling half a 55gal drum with water and ice. And the inevitable splash that makes it's way In to the wort.

I would stick with Belle for sure. you'll be happy with the outcome

it is a shame you cant get the 3726. I really feel like it plays well in this recipe.

You will be fine using Sterling hops. Just make sure to keep it around 20ibu's. And I would personally stick with the DuPont if that's all you can get. The higher mash temp. should help it from going down to far. Even if it comes out a little dry, it's a Saison. Don't stress. I've used...

I have been modifying this recipe for quite some time and I finally came up with something great for summer time. Easy drinking, lots of flavor, and very refreshing. I feel the 3726 really brings out the maltiness. 72% Efficiency. BIAB. 6lb. Pilsner 2.5lb. White wheat malt 4.oz. Vienna...

Why not try some red wheat? I put wheat in every saison I do.

wow! thanks for all that! it really clears everything up.

This might be a dumb question, but this is my first mead. So I'm my system I usually get between 72-76% efficiency when brewing beer. I was wondering what I should change my estimated efficiency on beersmith to when brewing a Mead? I will not be adding fruit, just honey. Just wanted to get...

thanks guys! so many to choose from now! We decided to go as far as Hill Farmstead and staying near the brewery a couple nights. gonna try to hit up as many as possible on the way back.

I'm coming from Pennsylvania

Wow! thanks guys. I'm pretty much looking for the best of the best. like brews that you can get on the stores down here in Pennsylvania

Thanks! That looks like a really good one!

So for my 30th. birthday, my girlfriend and I are planning a road trip to New England. Along the way I would like to stop at a few breweries. So far we decided to stop at Treehouse, Trillium, and The Alchemist. Any other suggestions while we're up that way?

Here's the link to his Lager: http://www.roypitz.com/lovitz-lager/

I will for sure. it's just hard to find a good watermelon this time of year on Pennsylvania! haha. First sight of a decent one and I'll report back. Have you ever tried Lovitz Watermelon Lager from Roy Pitz Brewing Company? I would love to mimic the taste of watermelon in his melon lager...

Usually I juice a while large watemelon, freeze, collect juice, repeat. I have never taken a gravity reading before. I'll make sure to this time.

I think I would be more concerned with the hops overwhelming the watermelon juice if i added it straight from the melon. but since I'm making a concentrate, the melon should be more pronounced. Have you ever tried adding the juice and not letting it ferment out?

Yea, good idea with the O5. Didn't really consider the "off" flavors. I guess nobody wants barnyard in there melon. I chose the galaxy hops because I have been currently doing a lot of SMASH recipes and I'm really digging the warm, musty, strawberry taste they add at late additions. I am...
