Nice!
 
I'm cleaning my brewery instead of brewing, but the weekend's not even started yet, so there's plenty of time still ...
 
:drunk:
 
But, for today =( ...
 
:cheers:
 
I know the feeling, I was going to make a starter and get it on the stir plate. Got everything together and then couldn't find my magnet. Looked around a bit and then it dawned on me, it's on the bottom of the pumpkin ale. I forgot to strain it to catch it

Oh well, Pumkin Ale goes into the secondary tomorrow morning

There's a stir-bar in the Bhut Subduction batch too, ^5 ;)
 
Nice read.  I just went and checked on my sage bushes.  The poison ivy has tried to overtake them all summer.  I have a big jar full to try in my next brew.

Looks pretty good. What L on that crystal? I've found that I really like beers with a lot of crystal/caramel.
Oh what temp for fermentation too? I assume 65-68 on that yeast. That's what I used in my DFH 90 clone.
 
Ozzy, I went back through my notes and it was 60L.

Coming up sometime soon

I haven't seen or had it either but the recipe had such rave reviews that I thought I'd give it a shot. If it's good I might even try Pliny the Younger recipe I saw too.
