Ed I would just like to say thanks for the recipe. My brew partners and I brew 15 gal. of your Hef. and just recently entered it into and brew competition called Timbers Army Homebrew Competition. We won first place in the Hefeweizen catagory with a second place overall. We now get to brew the beer at McMenamins 5 barrel system.
We also placed 1 lb of blueberry's from my backyard in 5 gallons of your hef. and won second place in the hef. group. The judges said that the blueberry hef. was a perfect example of what a fruit beer should taste. They said it was perfectly well balaced. Needless to say this years blueberry's are ready to pick to later be placed in yet another brew of your hef. recipe.
Thanks for letting other people take a chance on your nice recipe. If you want I would be happy to give you my imperial porter recipe which won in the peoples choice awards at the same brew competition.
There was no catagory for the porter but some of the judges said it was quite suprisingly good.
