Got curious and did a testing of beers in progress.
Saison/Wine hybrid - Meh. Not so good flat. Back in the closet it goes.
Dark farmhouse - Meh. Brett hasn't taken hold yet. A weird, muddled roast and saison spice flavor. Aroma can't make up it's mind what it wants to be. Back in the Closet it goes.
Graff - A week old and on target. Might need to add a touch of tannin.
I still need to get my trippel fermenting, but I'm out of fermenters at the moment.
And tomorrow evening I have a preliminary meeting with a couple other people here in Nola to get a brew club going. Crescent City Homebrewers are alright, but this town needs a club with some young blood in it. Hope to get one going. I need to let my Bicycle brothers know I'm cheating on them. If any of y'all know club-less people in the New Orleans area, let them know there might be a new club.

Have this going on with my farmhouse ale. I know a big part of it was the brew store milling in 6 times more specialty malt than I requested. However, I've read that you have to very careful with brett and roasted malts because it can amplify the acridness. So maybe this beer would've worked with straight saison yeast?

Doubtful. I didn't like it a week in when it was only the saison strain working on it. I'm not giving up, though. Gonna ride it out. Tried chocolate rye for the first time. I think it was only 6 ounces.

Ahh, I was talking about mine but, yeah, 6 ozs probably isn't enough to cause the issues.
I'm going to add the 2nd round of dry hopping to my 100% brett hoppy wheat today. I was planning on brewing a 100% brett baltic porter this weekend but never got around to picking up the stuff for it.

Water heating...ain't that exciting? Trying to get my grain temp up too since it was in the fridge.

Brewed a batch of TropicAle and a DIPA extract kit with a friend in Jackson. Had an audience so it was much more of a learn to homebrew than last weekend.

Typically takes off quickly with a short fermentation time.
Brewed yesterday afternoon/evening. Pitched the dry yeast (S-04) during halftime of the Saints game. At 6:15 this morning, the blowoff tube was bubbling away. That's 9 hours. And who knows how long it had been going before I got to check on it.

I guess I got a good fermentation.
do they make a blow off tube that attaches to the top of an airlock?
