Doing an American stout tomorrow in the Shakespeare Stout vein. Brewed it several times, should be a tasty fall beer.

Thanks guys, I appreciate it.  Just realized that I brewed that Kölsch on my birthday, so kind of a belated gift!

+1 to (someone else) starting a new thread.

Wrapping up my third saison of the summer.  These don't last long!!

92% Pils (Dingeman's)
8% Wheat (Dingeman's)

~30 IBU Pacific Jade @FWH
1 oz Amarillo @0
1 oz Celeia @0
.5 oz Pacific Jade @0

Omega Saisonstein's monster

I might dry hop this one with a touch of Hallertau Blanc

Edit: Also managed to turn a little Pils malt into some (hopefully) Roast/Pale Chocolate on the burner for the brewunited challenge.  Definitely a first.

Quick update on the Omega Saison yeast - OG was 1.055 and it's been at 1.003 for a couple of days now.  A monster indeed.  It was probably there a week ago, but I'm just getting to it.  Very fruity, moderately peppery/spicy, though the late hops are driving some of that.  Pleased so far.

I need to put one of these together soon.  I remember your 1L pics from last year looking very tasty.

Just threw together a freezer-cleaner, but for once it wan't hops that I needed to clear out. I had some blueberries and peaches in the freezer that need to go, along with a small amount of raspberries. I just threw together a small melomel with them (1.045ish) that I will backsweeten, keg, and carbonate when it's done. Depending on what it tastes like when it's done, I'll backsweeten with either honey, peach nectar, or blueberry juice. I've been wanting to make this style of mead ever since I got hooked on B. Nektar's line of carbonated hydromels.
