Now look at the fermenting temps!
They "Highly recommend taking this into the high end of the temperature range, 90 - 100 dF>" Man, I could just set it in the middle of the garage in the middle of August and it would be as Happy as can be.

Why aren't we just doing Wheebz' Bi-monthly Beer of the Month Contest again?
One prize, Da'Best ...
Do we even need rules or themes for this, really? ...
The fact that the recipes get posted, and you judge them, is awesome in and of itself. Aren't we all winning if everyone just makes the very best beer of any kind, every time? ...
I'm totally going to do it anyways, but I still question whether we need structure beyond just having it be a Wheebz' Winner-To-Brew contest ...
I tried to get Bumper to play, and he didn't want to SMaSH, and I don't REALLY want to SMaSH, so I think we should consider whether constraints are needed at all, is all ...

I could fap to that ...
Popular Choice TD with multiple-voting would be great, no need for theme, just bring it!
I will play anyways, but it's fun to have to reject a lot of ideas for the one that fits a narrow constraint ... every beer I can't brew in favor of the one I will brew, sounds better ...
Pookie reads mine afterhours ...tctenten said:
Nah, it's OCD ... it drives him crazy ... I'm used to it from D ...
Will be brewing alongside though. My oatmeal stout and a pliny style double IPA I found online that I want to try this week.

Comfort zone - what's that?
my vagina's chafed ...
It's Brew Morning and no better way to start a Monday that your off. Up at 4:30 and I've got 10 minutes left on the mash. So here we go!
RocketMan's
The Farmer's Daughter
A Honey Lemon Basil Sasion or Farmhouse Ale, thus the name
Ingredients:
Fermentables
8 lbs Marris Otter
3 lbs Wildflower Honey, flameout
Hops
1 ounce EKG
Yeast
Wyeast French Saison
Other
1 ounce Dried Lemon Peel, 60 min
1 ounce Dried Lemon Peel, 30 min
2 ounces Fresh Sweet Basil, 15 min
2 Tbs yeast Nutrient, flameout
Mash
154 dF, 4 gal
Sparge
170 dF, 2 gal
Boil, 60 min starting at Hot Break
Ferment
70 dF for 7 days, rack to secondary for additional 7 days.
This was by far one of the most problematic brews I've
done as you'll see.
POL was in the teaser but here's that ingredients pic again:
Had a problem I wasn't expecting when I started sanitizing, I got everything into the Mash/Lauter
I kept hearing water running though so when time was up I dumped the Idophor and started checking it out and found this:
As the kids song goes, "There's a hole in the bucket dear Liza dear Liza!"
Luckily is had a spare so drilled a hole, smoother it out and I'm good to go
Adjusted and verified my Ph meter.
Water out of the filter was 8.0 so a little Ph 5.2 added and it came down to Ph 5.3
Mash under way
While that's under way I:
Measured out Hops
And bagged them all up
Left to right they're
1 oz EKG and 1 oz dried lemon peel
1 oz dried lemon peel
2 oz Fresh Basil
Well, it's time to sparge, TTYL
