Good god.... those look like the pictures of massive infections from my moms nursing magazines. Can't say im there yet

Man is that beautiful! My Brett Saison that is ready for bottling couldn't form a pellicle but it tried. I pitched 3724 as well a a vial of WL Brett B into a 2 liter starter. The 3724 was blowing off so hard the Brett couldn't get one set up. The telltale signs were there but it just couldn't fight it out. Brett B and 3724 are a lovely combo though. Took 6 weeks to go from 1.066 to 1.003.

 

[Reno_eNVy]

Oh I love that thread.

New hint: The special ingredient that makes this hazy isn't a grain. There's also another special ingredient added at the end of the boil that does not add gravity points.

Another hint: This beer has far more of the first ingredient added than the second.

 

[emjay]

Great... the hint takes it from infinite possibilities down to only half that . Puns and stuff aren't the greatest, but ultimately, a clue that enables people to know exactly what beer it is (or at worst, several choices), is better than a beer that merely eliminates some of the field but still keeps it a guessing game!

I can think of such an absurd amount of possibilities that fit the clue, I'm not going to even bother guessing until the next clue. haha

This is what I get for giving my turn to Reno, I guess ;p

 

[Reno_eNVy]

Very well. Sorry, I just like to make the clues subsequently more revealing. But honestly, between those three clues I think I'd be able to narrow it down to 3 or 4 styles.

Okay, admittedly I was about to get spiteful and post a ridiculously revealing clue but here ya go:

That "adds no gravity points" business is a mixture of spices.

 

[emjay]

Doh... that's the one part I had actually figured out HAHA. Serves me right I guess.

 

[emjay]

Screw it... pumpkin ale.

 

[FromZwolle]

Screw it... pumpkin ale.

dang it. you beat me to it.

 

[emjay]

Right now, Reno is racking his brain to figure out something else it COULD be, rather than call me the winner hehe

 

[Reno_eNVy]

Um... um... it's uh...

Aw f**k it, you were right

 

[bottlebomber]

This is what I get for giving my turn to Reno, I guess ;p

You thought he wouldn't do this? Everyone knows garam masala kumquat blondes take forever to clear...

 

[bottlebomber]

Screw it... pumpkin ale.

Man you really are some kind of frikkin beer prodigy aren't you... did you have to tend the fire under the boil kettles in a trappist monestary as a lad or something?

 

[Reno_eNVy]

You thought he wouldn't do this? Everyone knows garam masala kumquat blondes take forever to clear...

Pfft, duh

 

[emjay]

That "adds no gravity points" business is a mixture of spices.

I take back what I originally said... this further clue actually helped me a lot. Based on your original clue I was thinking a single spice. When you specified that it was a mixture (and seeing that the mixture can still be referred to as a single ingredient) is basically what made everything much clearer.

Man you really are some kind of frikkin beer prodigy aren't you... did you have to tend the fire under the boil kettles in a trappist monestary as a lad or something?

Hah! I wish, but no I'm not, and no I didn't. You can post something now if you'd like, or else I'll post something tomorrow. I've had too much to drink tonight already, and I'm turning in very soon.

 

[bottlebomber]

Ill take the offer, since ill never come by it honestly. This fine brew has a birch product in it

 

[emjay]

Um... birch beer? Haha
