Yes. It's too hard to sift through that entire thread to find all that stuff. You can even link to it if you want. Just use big bold letters or something to make it stand out.

Ready, Set, Ferment!  I started out with a blow off tube because I heard this strain can be pretty violent.  Didn't get a picture of it because I was too busy cleaning up but the next morning I came down to see a big mess as the 1 liter Erlenmeyer flask was way to small to handle the ferment and there was overflow all over the floor from the violent ferment.  Changed it out to a 2 liter Erlenmeyer flask and things continued on just fine
 
 

Dry hopping.  Final Gravity was 14, forgot to take pic 


 
Bottled 11/29, shipped 11/30 - Please wait at least 7 days from bottling to assess so bottle conditioning can carb (12/06)
 

 
 
 
 
 
Is 'green-ness' going to be appreciated or criticisized?
 
Or, are we aiming for one that's drinkable the 1st week of January? - is another way to put it ...
 

The opposite being, "this takes exactly how an (eventual) RIS should taste at 5 weeks" ...
 
Hopefully that makes it clear what I'm asking ...
 
 
I also anything was allowed ... Have the plan to brew Correhuela if possible, and if not, to brew wheebz own recipe for it, since I think that could provide the bestest possible feedback ...
 
 
 
With a 3 week turnaround, I will be wanting to brew this sometime next week so not to push the button too early but what will be the POL for this one?
