This is a Sierra Nevada Celebration Ale clone. It’s my first time using gelatin for clarity - I let the gelatin sit in the fermenter at 35F or so for 30ish hours and then transfered to keg — these pics are after 1 week in the keg.

Sounds like a plan. :mug:

@rtstrider is nearby too.

Cranberry Apple Cider "Cran You Handle It?" - fresh out of the fermenter.
Did 6 gallons Motts, 2 lb dextrose, yeast nutrient, and fermented to 1.008, then added 1/2 gallon of pure cranberry juice (not that ocean spray stuff, I think I spent $20 on cranberry juice alone 🥹)

I have it in the Keezer carbonating and waiting to the LAST second to send to competition. It is good, but I would like to see it clear. I never use finings - we will see.

Another of my Raspberry Gose, modified from what was shown in my recipe (a real water profile and slightly more raspberry). This one will be submitted as well. 5 gallons lasted 6 days in this house with people coming over to get it. I have just enough to sample against my next one.

Made another batch of it over the weekend - waiting for my 65L to come in so I can brew double batches of my Gose's.

Was not intending to get clarity, but I'll take it.

37 and 38 points at the Coconut Cup taking Bronze out of 10 entries in 29A Fruit Ale. Mixed thoughts from the judges on the raspberry flavor. I will carb more next time - I'm not familiar with bottling too much. I have always kegged.

Per the judges:
Judge 1 Overall: No flaws and largely to style. Raspberry input is somewhat subtle but noticeable. Suggest a larger
raspberry flavor for the 29A style. Could benefit from a higher carb level. Very crisp and refreshing, sessionable.

Judge 2 Overall: Really good beer that has a medium body, with Medium sourness. Good balance but Rasberry a
little too high.

Would you mind sharing the recipe? Looks nice.

The beer is actually a little lighter than in the picture even though I took the picture in sunlight (8.4 SRM, by calculation).
The recipe is pretty simple (like all my recipes):

For a 46L batch (up to 40L in bottles, 10 gallons), unadjusted tap water, I used 4kg Vienna, 3kg Dark Wheat Malt and 200g Special W (BIAB, 60 minutes) and another 1kg simple sugar (at the beginning of the boil). The hops are 70g Mandarina Bavaria (FWH, right after lifting the bag of grain). Boil for 60 minutes. For yeast I used Lalbrew Belle Saison harvested from a previous Stout batch (1L from the bottom of the fermenter, no washing). It fermented for two weeks at about 19'C (I don't have temperature control).
The beer is pretty dry (FG=1.004), 5% ABV, quite drinkable and refreshing and slightly citrusy.

Thank you. I'll struggle to get hold of some of those marks, and the yeast, but I'll have a think about what's possible. I didn't expect a saison yeast to be involved but I do like a saison beer.

t's a Saison yeast, but it's quite clear compared to other Saison yeasts I've tried (BE-134 and M29), and I also overpitch it quite a bit and ferment it on the cool side of the temperature range so that the Saison yeast characteristics are very little or none to be felt. Even at much higher temperatures (over 30'C in the summer) with a good overpitch you can get a pretty clean beer with this yeast.

It's not been clean when I've used it but i don't think I can get it anyway, it's only sold in 500g packs now I think ? You've given me an idea for a beer so i'll work on that, thanks.
