After a long, busy weekend at Indy in Birmingham, this was a light, refreshing brew. However...it wasn't very tart, wasn't very plum-y and was pretty under carbed to be called a saison IMO. To me, they created expectations that weren't met, but not a bad beer.
 
Well, poop! Third keg to die this week
I know the feeling. I’ve had two kegs kick in two days. I kegged a Cali Common yesterday and it’s approaching drinkable, and I’ve got an Irish Red fermenting which probably has a week to go. Brewing a Blonde Ale right now. Keeping a pipeline full is a second job. Oh wait… I’m retired. :p

I knew I was getting low, but I didn’t think all 3 I had running would kick within 4 days of each other. Looks like I’ll try to work in another brew day next weekend. I’m really excited to taste my Irish stout cold and on beer gas. I think there’s a very high possibility that I cracked the GUINNESS code!!!… or at least very close.

That would be cool! :ban:
 
That's the one in the Ale Recipes section of this forum?

No, this one is from Ron Pattinson's blog that he pulled direct from the brewing records. The early 70's are said to be the golden age of Bodds. Also note it's in imperial units. I went with Wyeast 1968 but may go with Omega Gulo at some point to get it to finish a little drier but it's good with 1968.

Orfy's Boddington's Bitter is a good brew though.

Thanks for taking the time.

I have both recipes transcribed into my copy of Beersmith, I really need to get over my case of AHDS (Arrogant Homebrewer Disorder Syndrome) and brew somebody else's recipe. Your rendition looks gorgeous...and I can taste it with my eyes.

Good stuff, sir!
