Hb Green tea kombucha. Just took sg on Nelson Sauvin saison (1.012) and started dry hop. Sample tasted pretty promising, I love the funk in 3726 but wanna score some of that as11 and use it on this recipe. Yeah Ill be making saisons all winter so what??? :ban:

1.012 is way high for 3726. Mine usually finishes at 1.002, but I cook it with a seedling mat. Dry hopping tends to kick up some more fermentation though.

Thats because you are supposed to drink it for Breakfast. Duh! That is why it is in the name.

Yeah, I guess he didn't pay attention to the second line of his signature. ;)
 
My wife sent me this pic from outside my home in PA. Apparently there's a lake effect warning untill 11am est and a total of 6 inches predicted for the day.

I might be heading home for a little bit this weekend. I didn't even bring a long-sleeved shirt. FML.

Coughee. And lots of it.

Is it not cold in OK? I got caught without a jacket in Austin last week and regretted it. At least have a fleece down here this week. And coffee, of course.

Who caught you? And what were the repercussions? ;)
Still working outside in shorts here in Houston. I usually do until some time in December when it actually cools down.

It has been around a high of 75 here. A few days got pretty chillly, but that didn't last. I think today is a high of 60 though. It'll probably start getting colder. I'm going to have to bring some warmer clothes next time I'm home.

edit: I can't spell apparently.
 
Had a gravity sample of my red ale with breakfast. Missed by numbers by six points and it shows in the F.G. of 1.006. Its dryer than it should be but already better than my first red ale :D

A sample of my stout and christmas ale. Both taste good, just struggling to get the stout to drop below 1.030. :mad:
 
What temp is it at? What/howmuch yeast did you use? What was the OG?

It has been between 63F and 66F for 2 weeks. OG was 1.067 and originally I rehydrated US-05 and pitched it then according to random recipes using coconut, I should have racked to secondary after 7 days. I realized there was little to no activity so I took a reading. It was at 1.030.

Went to buy a carboy and the same guy who recommended I use US-05 and said I'd be okay (I showed him my recipe and the anticipated ABV of 6.8%) said I could dry pitch another package of US-05, so I did. While I know blowoff tube activity isn't any indication of something not fermenting, nearly a week later the reading remains at 1.030. The beer is at 64F, that's the actual liquid temp.

I wanted to see it drop a bit more before I racked to secondary, but now I'm thinking I should just do it.
