Is that Pleepleus?House Pale Ale. I swapped my usual plain wheat malt with white wheat, man it makes more of a difference than I though..
I live one town away from Voorheesville. When smittys was around my wife and I were there every Friday for pizzaWild ale #1, aka what I'm tongue in cheek calling "Windy Acres batch #1 - a Voorheesville style farmhouse ale" after the name and location of my grandfather's farm. I fermented this entirely with yeast harvested from wild apples collected at my grandfather's farm the last time I was there after he died. It is my liquid tribute, about 1.5 years in the making.
So how is it? Very sour, but not overly so. A cidery note, unsurprising given the yeast source. Not perfect, but I love it, and more just amazed my first totally wild ferment is totally drinkable. View attachment 612754

Mmannnnn outrageous amount of hops. You could get just an equally solid flavor with 12 oz in total.No guarded secrets here. EnjoyView attachment 612892
I know its excessive, but the first addition goes in woth active fermentation around 70 degrees. The second at 68 when it slowwing and the third at 64 after fermentation is complete. The different temps at dryhopping, in my opinion, creat a depth i havent gotten with less than a pound and a half.Mmannnnn outrageous amount of hops.

I mean I’m sure it’s good, I dont doubt that but I truly think you could cut it in half and get a more hop varietal specific flavor and save 20-30 bucks lolI know its excessive, but the first addition goes in woth active fermentation around 70 degrees.
