I brewed a 5 gallons batch on March 17, 2019, bottled May 27, 2019, then put the cases in the basement, and forgot about them until Thanksgiving 2020. So that's about 1.5 years of bottle aging. I cooled down a bottle the day before and poured it on Thanksgiving. OMG, it was really enjoyable...

I picked up the ingredients to make the single malt version with D-180 candy syrup, but I have a question. Are people also doing the separate boil down of .75 gallon first runnings with the single malt version or is that overkill?

Thanks. I understood the result both ingredients would give but was curious if it was common. Adding lactose seems like it would make beer somewhat like a milk stout, or milk stout lite since this only has 4 oz. Very interested to try this recipe. Making a batch with and without the lactose is a...

I feel like mine has just gotten better and better. Bottled on 8/1/15 last year and just had a bottle last night. The dry hop aroma has fallen off over the 6 months, but I think I like it better this way, and I was pretty happy when I posted my tasting notes 6 weeks after bottling.

Wow, I'm so glad I made this recipe. Very pleased with everything about it. Wonderfully balanced. I’ve never used Nelson Sauvin hops or 3711 yeast before. Wish I would have bottled a gallon before adding the hibiscus just to get a better idea of what the Nelson hops are like alone. Is the...

Thanks for the reply Wobrien. I'm looking for a really dry, tart saison and it sounds like this recipe fits the bill. I also love the way it looks in everyone's pictures.

I’m putting this on my to-brew list next in line, but I was hoping to get answers to a couple of questions. How is it that this recipe only needs a 60 minute boil and not 90 minutes to evaporate the DMS precursors? Is the 90 minute boil an antiquated idea with modern malts? I also wanted...
