you guys do know that all the stuff from his blog is on the Hill Farmstead website right? No need to go to that other site and stop the page loading.

Over 20lbs of Apricots before I transfered 5 gallons of a 15 month old sour on top of them.

Strawberry saison

Don't worry, its all good.

Ok, so in your opinion he isn't using adjuncts like that. Thats fine. Your previous reply stated it as a fact, which it isn't. I have read through the whole thread, and there is only speculation. All I was saying is that based on my experiences, my opinion is that he is probably using...

I really don't think his website is the be-all and end-all of what goes into his beers. Shaun is notoriously pretty secretive, so it really wouldn't surprise me if something happened to be left out.

So based on nothing. Ok. I don't think anyone in this thread who has suggested that he may be using something like flaked oats had said that it's just as simple as that. But rather, it's one piece of the puzzle. Just like pH, water treatment, gravity, carbonation level, etc. All important...

I've done anywhere from 2 weeks to 6 months so far. 2 weeks was kegged.

a fairly aggressive pedio strain seems to be the common theme.

Just to add to this thread, about 2 years ago I put together a Saison yeast blend. It started out as Dupont, Trois, & build up bottle dregs form a bottle of Surette. Over the past 1.5 years, I've been repitching it over and over to see how it evolves. It has always produced a bit of acidity...
