Good to see this thread resurrected! I currently have a Strata/Cashmere/Sabro ipa going. I read a lot about how overpowering Sabro is, so I went pretty light. The smell is insane! I’ll post again once it’s in a glass. Tomorrow I’m making another with Hallertau Blanc and Sabro.

My job got insanely busy, and I finally got around to brewing Dale’s yesterday. I hit all my numbers perfectly and looks like it’ll be spot on at 6.5% and 65ibus. It’s chugging along this morning. I couldn’t get any crystal 77, but I had 75 on hand. I doubt it’ll be noticeable. I also have...

My Homebrew club is doing a clone contest. I’m brewing Dale’s later today.

I finally got around to this yeast. Starter is going and I’m making a rye farmhouse ale. Using Junga and Jarrylo. Should come in around 4% I’ll post results

Alright, mine is down to 1.020 with the help from 3711. I gave it a little swirl and it foamed up pretty good...you know how a starter foams up if ya swirl it around? I'm guessing it's still working. I'll just let be for a couple months and let the Brett do its thing. I've never used Brett...

Yeah, I had similar issues. I added 1lbs d-45 candi syrup and omega's American farmhouse. I checked it a few days later because it looked like it quit. 1.040...I check again 2 days later, still 1.040. I had a starter of 3711 going so I tossed it in there. It kicked right back up for a...

I went. Added D-45 and Omega's American Farmhouse. It smells super yummy

I got mn, put my starter of 3031 in the fridge at my parent's house and after several beers, my dad accidentally bumped the flask with a beer bottle and it shattered. NOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!! I got a new flask. I got more yeast. I'm going with Omega American Farmhouse. I also picked up some...

I made a starter of wyeast saison Brett. Gonna add some candi syrup and dry hop with something, just not sure of what yet.

I'm going too and bought a ticket for wort. I just made a starter of wyeast's Saison Brett. I might dryhop with something, but I'm not sure what.

I'm doing this soon. Bought everything and I'm ready, but I have a few beers I have to do first. I'm doing mine with 2row, Simpson Golden Naked Oats and Flaked Oats. Magnum, Cascade and Columbus in the boil and then dry hopping with cascade, columbus, Citra and Simcoe. Wlp007. Fingers crossed!

I just took a gravity reading from my Rye Saison...1.002!! Ends up being 6.6% and 30ibu. The sample is delicious!! I'll let it sit a couple more weeks and keg it up.

I'm resurrecting this thread because I read through this a while back while researching a decent rye pale ale recipe. I must say thank you boys! I wanted it to be a bit darker...it's fall and the beginning of my darker beer seasons, but after lots and lots of reading here's what I ended up...

Flame out

I just ordered everything to make my annual rye saison we call, Ryse On! I usually use 3711, but this year I'm trying Belle Saison. I hope it works, since this my wife's favorite beer I make. 6lbs FrancoBelges Pilsen 2lbs dingemans Munich 2lbs flaked rye 1lbs Local Honey .5oz magnum...
