"Try an open ferment, they said. Belgian yeasts thrive in those conditions, they said." "They" didn't mention the possibilities of extra clean up hahaha. Thanks Denny & Drew

This just made me go buy some 1469.  I got a pound of EKG that should work out perfectly

 

Here's the grain bill for said beer: (for 5.5 gallons into the primary)

 

5lb Pils (or 2-row)

3lb Munich

0.5 lb wheat

0.5 C-40

What a lovely mess. Sorta looks like a Belgian shower cap

 

Nice.   Looks like it's going to be an awesome beer.

I’m excited and hopeful. I haven’t done a decent Belgian in a while.

Belgian Golden Strong.   First pull from the keg.  Tasty.

I like Lindeman's Framboise and have it in the house often.  My daughter turned me onto it. 

[Poptop]

Your daughter has good taste:) then again so do you

My latest kettle sour- 50/50 2-row and Wheat- soured with Goodbelly Cranberry Watermelon Drink; after a 10 minute boil- steep .75 oz each of Simcoe, Citra and El Dardo. Then repeated the same hop bill for a dry hop at day 4 in primary- kegged on day 7. Its 5.5%, and reminds me of a very complex lemonade- citrus, and a kiss of dank from the simcoe. 

 

Its going down wayyyyy to easy on a lovely morning after work.

That looks really good.

That looks really good.

And sounds really easy to make.  I know there have been threads about this here and there and part of me always thinks WHOO BOY! but I never do it.  I think I would totally dig it.

My latest batch of GLBC Dortmunder Gold clone: (turned out fantastic)

^^ do you use Cascade early and if so does any of it shine through in the overall taste?

Yes, I do use Cascade as the bittering hop, but very little (probably no) Cascade character is noticeable in the final product.

 

If I perceive any, it's probably because I know it's there, but it's suble at most.

Is that darker than the commercial version or is it just the picture?
