I think the Miami Weiss label is great, I am old enough to appreciate the reference which may be part of it. It has a kitschy quality. I have one in my fridge right now that I haven't tried yet. After reading about it I am looking forward to it. The Muskoka labeling is my favorite right now, it's a ...

I'd definitely be up for something like this.

Anyone heard about Liberty Ale making a return in 6 packs?

Congrats Jeff, like Ralphus said it's all sleepless nights from here out. Worrying about if you pitched enough yeast, if it's the right temp, if you sanitized well enough. Then you'll bottle and there'll be a whole new series of worries. Then you'll drink your beer and you'll love the fact that you ...

Hey Brad welcome to the group. I recently brewed a saison with that yeast and it came out great. Its hard to believe the flavors you get from this yeast, I am getting a touch of sourness from mine, pretty subtle but it's there, so there maybe no need for the brett. How are you planning to keep the t...

Me and a few friends ordered about 5lbs of pellet hops in June, they've been stored in my freezer thus far. I'll see what I get from my all Ahtanum batch and looking for some good citrus aroma from that. My buddy brewed an all late addition citra apa and the smell coming from his keg is crazy, big t...

Thanks for all the feedback, it's not my first all grain but first all grain IPA and first IPA period. This will be batch #6 First 2 were extract and the last 3 were all grain. All Grain Brews were Saison American Wheat and All Ahtanum APA. I am just drinking the saison now. I haven't racked to a se...

I haven't had the raftman I think I may give it a try I was going to head across the river to try some of the Brasseur du Temps Haute Saison that's just been released to bottles. I've had the Terrible and wasn't crazy about it. I generally stay away from the unibroue beers as I find the house yeast ...

Sorry that's a mistake in my beersmith setup, I mashed at 152 or pretty close but just did some reading and that still seems a little on the high side. I pitched a pretty big starter and their seems to be something happening in the carboy. Hopefully it'll work out.

Umm... no I went pretty much all the way at 156. I probably missed a direction somewhere as this was first all grain, first saison and first yeast starter.

I am guessing the higher mash is going to produce more sugars, what effect will this have on the yeast?

I just tried my first all grain and first saison of sorts, here's the recipe I used going to ferment in my garage to keep the temp up around 80. Lol should have called it wing and a prayer due to it being all first tries. I wanted some citrus in it so I used some citra. I also built up a 1 litre sta...

Brewed my 2nd ever batch on the weekend I was trying for a DFH Indian brown clone This is the recipe I was trying for 10oz British amber malt 10oz Crystal 60L 8oz Chocolate malt 2oz roasted barley Steep all of this at 150F for 30 minutes Add 7lb Light DME 8oz Dark Brown sugar 1/2oz Warrior Hops for ...

Yeah I was planning to ferment it in the garage I was just waiting for the weather to finally start warming up. Does it need a full 3 weeks of warm fermentation? My brown ale I have fermenting in the basement right now is sitting around 65F. Could I ferment the saison for 1 week in the garage and th...

Canadian Homebrew Supplies has the whitelabs belgian saison I in stock, I just got some delivered the other day. Not sure if it's the same or as good I was going to give it a shot either way.
