re: Homebrewing Thread: Volume II

rescued the thread from pg 7


I brewed a wort for another house beer yesterday going no-sparge, 30 min mash and 30 min boil and no-chill. Thanks to running out of propane trying to heat the water to mash my second batch, my short little first batch ended up taking 2 hours. The second batch was a 100% loral saison that I will dry hop with 4 oz of Loral once it's ready. I ended up going with 3724 and plan to add a pack of belle saison once the krausen drops.

I was out in the garden yesterday admiring how well my lavender and lemon balm are growing and pondering the best way to add herbs to a beer. I'm not sure if it would be best to make a tea and pour it in or just add them like dry hops. Thoughts?
