That sounds awesome. Please do keep us updated. I have some dirty dozen I need to get going. Thinking maybe in a NE style Pale ale or a saison. FW sounds rad.
Will do, I also have some dirty Dozens that im going to co-pitch with the ECY08 Saison Brasserie. Thats going to be one interesting beer with extended aging.
From the smell of the FW#2 Starter I feel this would be an amazing beer with Huell Melon and Belma hops to really push the starwberry notes.
But this was the recipe i used for this IPA, the water profile is based off the NEIPA thread.
