I've appreciated your feedback. The primary fermentation on the first batch was transferred Monday. I used a strong attenuating yeast ( Wyeast 3711 Saison ) and achieved a really complete fermentation. It went from 1.061 to 1.002 over 3 weeks. This finished lower than I expected. Has anyone seen an ...

Thanks for the feedback. I've got 2 ordered.

How about pairing with food, cheeses etc.

Maybe a seminar could be done or it could become a part of the beer style each month.

I let them dry for a few days and vaccuum bag and place in the freezer. I brewed 10 gallons of a 1.055 O.G. APA a few weeks ago, I...

Thanks, I imagine Sean will get this fixed for me soon.

Is the buy still open?

I'm paided up as of last Thursdays meeting for this year. I made a request yesterday asking to be put back in the system. I know the buys fill up quick and wanted to get an order in with the next one.

John

Is there a grain buy going on right now? I'd like to participate.

John Pepin

Thanks

Does anyone have a container of RB extract that they would trade/sell.? Or does anyone know of somewhere in Lawrence that sells it > The new homebrew shop does not stock it.

Thanks, John
