Really pleased to hear that! Years ago I tried WB-06 and that put me off dried hefe yeast. I have 10lbs of wheat that's been hanging around for a while. I think I might give that a shake.
I improvised because I would've bought WLP300 but it was 95F for a full week so I had to go with dry yeast.

Now I'm trying to decide what to brew with the yeast harvested from that batch. I've been leaning toward either a Dunkelweizen or a Hopfenweisse
 
Sorry, I've been MIA from this thread a few days. We have a friend and his family from Germany, visiting. Been here 3 days, spending 4 more, then they will fly to Las Vegas to rent a car and tour some national parks. Dieter has been to the US several times before, but first time for his daughter and girlfriend.

We've been showing them the sights, to the north shore of Lake Superior yesterday, and went for BBQ today and a brewery. The Americana experience.

They brought a few bottles of the local brew from their town of Heubach, in Baden-Wuerttemberg. And some Bretzeln from their local Baeckerie.

Did you like the Golden Märzen?
 
That’s what I call an over-carbonated Coors Light!

I'm assuming it had a substantial carbonic bite, did it push the hops forward? Any sort of carbonic twang?

Not taking a cheap shot here, but I can't help but think it improved the beer? I ask because I've been toying with significantly increasing the gas on my Panther Piss series of beers. If for no better reason than that's about the last thing that I haven't given a thorough goofing around with regarding that series of beers.
 
Sweet, beautiful, cool rain.

I enjoyed a wonderfully soggy 5-mile stomp through the woods at Ft. Washington earlier this afternoon. I turned fifty earlier this year and I'll be damned if stomping puddles and playing in the mud will ever get boring! Then, soaked and filthy, I drove my hairdresser's car home with the top down. Rain is the best!

Celebrating with a big Willi full of Panther Piss Classic while I clean the interior.

Joy!

Well, I didn't really notice anything like that. Maybe it is because Coors Light is so lightly hopped it didn't stand out. Just a buncha fizz! I think the beer tender at this restaurant has the regulator set a bit high - Not sure. I find I'm liking mine around 9 psi these days, this one had to be at least 12 I'd guess!

I used to work on a beer delivery truck while I was in undergrad and, boy golly, I would've been given a stern talking to by that account's salesman if I had put a keg on in that condition.

Cool to see and think about, though!
 
Looking at that last beer I “was” going to drink, you have to ask yourself – Just because you “CAN” brew beer, doesn’t mean that you “SHOULD” brew beer! Brewing beer has always been a marriage of art and science, skills, procedures and processes. Many brew houses spend a lot of time making sure the product is absolutely perfect before leaving out the shipping dock. I can only think that we possibly had a situation where trub or other crud isn’t completely separated, and the bottom of the fermenter or aging tanks is finding its way directly into the canning line. I say that is sloppy QC. Sorry folks, I call balls and strikes….

Hey, Hey, not with this yummy beer though! Ride-on 10 Hop Hazy IPA! A great beer!
Funny thing, I was listening to beer talk on the internet and they were talking IPAs. One of the real problems in the IPA making world is getting consistency on the hops. With so many different hops being used up by other brewing companies, there are shortage of various types all the time. That means if you have some IPA featuring a certain hop – you might not be able to get that hop when you were planning on brewing with it.

As a workaround, a number of brewers have taken the “multiple hop” approach – make your batch with 10 or 15 different types of hops. Still a nice hoppy IPA, but if some particular hop becomes unavailable or needs to be substituted, there are still plenty others in the batch that you really don’t notice the absence. Allows brew day to continue as planned. BREW ON !!!!!

*Turns out choking like dogs is the right answer. It's a vital skill for teams that are committed to losing, but it's seldom taught in youth baseball these days. Sadly, I suppose the game has advanced and moved on, so you seldom see teams really embrace this kind of baseball anymore. Fortunately, the Giants are still maintaining this "archaic" way of choking like dogs in baseball.
