If my fermenting buckets and carboy (and corny) weren't full I might pull the trigger here. Thanks for posting!

Get 'em for later. Throw the yeast in the fridge and it should be fine for about a year or so.

I still have 2 of those kits left. Might brew that or another saison next week.

This one is simply a great summer beer that's not too heavy. Mine went really fast.

Hmmmm. Maybe I will. I have three buckets filled right now with a cider for a half barrel. Once my buckets are free, I'll be looking to fill them again...


Thanks!

You betcha. This is a good one at a really good price. They generally have 2-3 Brewer's Best kits on sale at a given time. Solid kits as a whole. I can't comment on this particular yeast strain yet since it's very new.

Just got an e-mail from Chris Stambaugh and he likes this yeast.

Northern Brewer is having a sale. Buy 2 kits, get a 3rd free. I might have to indulge in that.

Good to know, thanks!

You betcha. I'm going to try to get 3. Not sure which at the moment.

Apparently it's all-grain only? I don't have the hardware to really brew AG yet.

Ah. Dang. I was going to purchase another Belgian golden strong and a saison de noel soon-ish.

Looks like my buddy and I will be getting into home brewing very soon! We've been reading through John Palmer's How to Brew site, and I believe my friend also has an e-book he's looking through. I also just read this whole thread, so I'd like to think I'm in good company if any questions or problems arise. To say the least, I can't wait to start!

Bumpage.

Just brewed a honey kolsh.

Going to transfer a 1.102 Russian imperial stout this weekend to secondary.

Have a wee heavy in secondary for another couple weeks.

My dark saison might be contaminated, but we'll see.

Hoping to get enough free time this weekend to do a Pliny clone.

I recently brewed a couple of Flanders Reds that will sit in a corner for the next 12-18 months. I scored some ECY Flemish Ale for one and the other got Roeselare. I also got a vial of ECY Bugfarm that I hope to get started soon.

I brewed a hoppy red ale the other day with Cascade, Centennial, and Citra that smells amazing already and I haven't dry hopped it yet. Looking forward to that one.

Northern Brewer just released a Pliny clone. Me want!

I tried a sour cherry beer last weekend by New Belgium that used wild brett as the strain. It was bizarre.

It's an acquired taste.

It wasn't bad, it was just... Odd.

I thought they were strange. Several years later I thought one would hit the spot.

I've been tempted to try to make one. Not sure if I could drink 2 cases of it.
