Experimental Brews -- We've all got at least one
I came up with an Orange Creamsicle beer which I took a pretty standard hefeweizen recipe where I added vanilla bean and swapped out the yeast for White Labs Cream Ale Blend.

Winter Seasonal Beer Holly (Christmas Ale)
Just bottled this finally yesterday. I added the spice tea (added 1 tsp all spice and used powdered ginger) to the secondary being as I was a bit worried that the spices wouldn't have enough time to mellow before I debuted it to my friends for the holidays.

Bavarian Hefeweizen to Lambic
Can't really say as I have it locked in the fermentor in a well ventilated room. Good idea though on checking complimentary yeast esters which I'll do some looking into now. At the very least I could still do the fruit puree regardless.- Sassav

Bavarian Hefeweizen to Lambic
So while sitting bored at a long day of work I managed to decide one one thing while pondering another. I decided to finally contribute my first post to this extremely useful site after several months of using it as one of my main go-to pages for research. Now, to my dilemma...
