Very generous, many thanks to SS Brewtech for the support!

I agree. For me, doing decoction mashing was purely for nostalgia/tradition's sake, and for the learning experience .

Wow, great post, thanks for sharing that - going to have to try your recipe. Have been using decoction mashing for my hefe and it's time consuming for sure.

Holy smokes, and I was all hot and bothered by the control panel pic in the other thread. Man, I'd kill for a brew space like that. My brew space consists of just enough space on the back porch to keep from knocking my kettles over while I leg-wrestle my yellow lab to keep him from setting his...

That's fantastic, well done!

Went down to the ferm fridge to pull the 3 crops out and rack to keg. I put 5.5 gallons into the fermenter at 1.048 and today, after sixteen days on 1 packet of US-05 I'm at 1.012 with green apple odor. Ran fermentation straight through at 68 degrees (thermoprobe). Brought it upstairs to sit in...

Second batch of this on a rolling boil right now, can't wait. Brewing this again on Sunday with an addition of Palisade peach puree that will go into the secondary. I have a close friend whose family runs an orchard on the Western Slope of Colorado. We exchange fresh Palisade peaches for fresh...

Welcome! I'm down in Parker. Have fun with your new setup!

Mine did too, almost light green. It will come around nicely. About three weeks in the bottles for me. What was left at week four was excellent, nice light straw color.

My first batch of this was recipe exact. Bottled to 3 Vols in 22oz bombers and had nice results.

Brewed this again today. Went with wlp320 for this batch and am interested in the result. Hoping for a nice clean wheat beer base to make the lime really pop. I fermented a little warm last batch with 380 and felt the phenol/ester profile was muddying the lime a bit for my taste. Also went with...

Holy craps balls - this came out really freakin' well! I bottled to 3 vols in 22oz bombers. Just coming up on 4 weeks in the bottle and they've come into their own. Three weeks in was pretty good but now it's unreal. And really amazing how much the beer changed over four weeks. Thank you...
