I did indeed cold crash after about 9 or 10 days of letting it ride. Thanks for the reassurance.

Made my first few batches. Used the reduced yeast pitch protocol per the thread for US05. Upon racking almost no trub (thru the racking tube). Normal? Uncarbed product tasted good so I guess I'm not too worried, but I did expect some. Got none both times.

I'm not under an unlimited plan and I ordered two picopaks on 6/28, they still haven't shipped. I'm in no real rush I guess, but they did charge me. Unacceptable lag time if they are charging at ordering instead of at shipping.

Ship date for Tweaties was 7/17 from Williams Sonoma. So partner retailers are affected as well.

Are they just retail fronts and the shipments are still processed with the pico delays of a few weeks? Are they expedited and still ship from pico? Or do they actually have stock?

How quick did the pro upgrade package ship?

Got mine today. Came with Brew Free or Die. Color me surprised, I figured on getting Tweeties, which I'd have been fine with too.

You're over thinking it. Make a one gallon batch, pitch yeast wait a few days. Make 4 gallon batch scaling linearly. Combine both the 1 gallon and 4 gallon batches. Then BOOM you have BOMM.

Thanks for the refresher, I've read every page of this thread, but in the lead up to delivery it is nice to see the wisdom put succinctly.

Oh suuuuuure make the anticipation that much more intense, ha. ;)

My Pico S upgrade is in transit now. Any early indication on where the 'brewers choice' pack have landed for folks? I'm figuring one of the Pico branded recipes and not one of the partner paks.

Made this as my first mead. Used fresh apricots in primary and secondary. Used vanilla extract as I had trouble finding beans. Vanilla got blown out, but otherwise this turned out amazing. Drinkable in 30 days and I can't wait to see where this ends up by Christmas. Thanks for sharing.

I was going to roll with 71B and follow your recipe pretty close, thanks for the tip. Probably a few months out from getting this up and going though, in the middle of a move, but def giving this a whirl in due time. Tropical fruit season ramps up in another 4 weeks or so anyway. Not sure my...

Thanks for the reply and update. My wife and like 80% of her friends are Asian so this will be fun to gift and a conversation starter at parties. Might try longan, jackfruit, or mangosteen if I'm able to execute on this.

Any updates on how this aged? I'm going to do a rambutan/lychee batch later this summer. Thanks for sharing the recipe.
