Damn good NE with my favorite food. First time using Stubbs. Good sauce.

To be honest, it started as a kit from MoreBeer that I renamed, so I can’t take total credit for it. You can find it on their website as Charlie Esser’s Father in law pils. Nothing fancy...

I’ve used both 34/70 and Diamond lager yeast at 54° and can’t really tell a difference.

I’ve traded this with several other members and they all say it’s great.
The most recent was @wepeeler and @Section1
I think @fourfarthing , @PianoMan , @passedpawn and @DrGMG have had it too.

I can confirm the "solidness" of that brew...and a few more? 😉

That sounds good for some reason. Real plum? Peeled?

Real plum, pitted not peeled. A large portion from @TwistedGray

Its great. Tart and dry like a saison with brett or bugs, but with a slight fruit element at about 5 lbs of fruit per 3 gallons of wort.
 
That think would be broken within a week in my house. That base scares me!



Very nice. I bet that plum is a nice touch. @TBC used the same ratio of fruit to beer, and his was spot on.

I have one bag left...kinda wanna do something different with than expected.

Put a british beer on it? I was thinking of doing something caramel-y to try to balance the acidity but wasn't sure how it would play.
