Finally hit up the LHBS to get the stuff to make a 100% Brett strawberry wheat. It is crazy how much cheaper a lightly hopped brew is 
The guys at the store seemed all giddy about me using CaraRed... Nice dudes but kind off odd.

Homebrew HQ? There are some social misfits at that place.

Super nice guys but a bit off for sure.

Freaking page 6? Y'all slacking hard! I've been trying to brew a 100% brett strawberry wheat since Saturday but having 3 kids is really cramping my style right now
I might just have to leave work early and skip running tomorrow or Friday and get brewing.

Hell. I brewed and dry hopped/fruited a black IPA and a mango pineapple IPA. Both are tasting pretty good. Wife wants to add coffee to the black IPA. I added some to the hydrometer sample last night and it was nice.

I'm slacking big time. I still need to keg my beers for WYES next week. I haven't even brewed in maybe a month. Hopefully after my test next week I can get a weekday brew in some night.

Leaving for NYC early tomorrow for 5+ days, so had to dry hop my double black IPA for WYES tonight. Tasted pretty much exactly like I was expecting, which is good. Also dry hopped my pale ale and it was tasting very grapefruity and tropical.
Gotta keg my coffee vanilla porter the day I get back so I can have it ready for LSUBoo's wedding. Gonna be tight, but thank goodness for force carbonation.

My strawberry wheat and breakfast brown for WYES are coming along great. Will cold crash them over the weekend and keg on Monday. 
Also figured out why my Gose and Berliner have been a pain in the arse to clear. Was talking to someone about sour mashing yesterday and he mentioned that you shouldn't crush the grain you use to sour the wort after mash or you will introduce starches to the wort that won't have enzymes to break down and will not drop out without long conditioning time.
Oh well, live and learn
ETA: Clarified the crushed grain part.

How does this work in a mash?

Gotcha. I was about to say that's a new one to me, but your edit makes much more sense.

I'm bottling up a Stout and brewing a pale ale tomorrow. No work, so I am gonna brew all day.

I've added gelatin to the kegs and both have gradually started to clear.
Gose: three weeks in keg
Berliner: one week in keg

Berliner: one week in keg

it really doesn't matter to me if the beer clears up or not, as long as it tastes good.
it's been nice and hot in the garage this week, so I hope the souring goes well. I plan to mash on Friday night, then leave the wort in the garage to sour, and hope it has soured enough by Sunday evening so I can boil it.
guess I better get a starter going tonight too

I made the mistake of tasting my two beers I am bringing to WYES yesterday. I say mistake because I now want to just hook them up to my kegerator and not let them leave the house.
