This yeast is something that the board will be interested in: LINK
Apparently it is a controlled mating of Saison Dupont and the French Saison yeast strains. Flavor of the first, attenuation of the later.

Interesting. I've made 4 saisons, all of them with wyeast 3711 French Saison. They are good but i'd like a different flavor. I use them because they attenuate very well. I've been a little gun shy of the belgian strands. I'll note this for future saisons.

The owner of Omega Labs is a really nice guy. Ive emailed back and forth with him a few times about their brett and lacto blends. He always answers quickly and provides a lot of great tips/information on getting the most out of their yeast/bacteria.
I'm still trying to talk Chico into bringing in this brand of yeast, but until then this is cheapest place to pick up their yeast.

No Brett, no care. Or that's what it seems like this board has turned into.

At least it's not 'no lager, no care'
I have an IPA/DIPA on deck for next week if I can get off my arse and clean/pacify this conical and cut a new shelf for my fermenation freezer.
ETA: Congrats on the medal at GTB classic.

Yes. Congrats. What medal did you get for what category?

Thanks! You too. RSB really cleaned up at that competition. Nicely done.

2nd place for American Ale. I submitted my all-Simcoe pale ale.
Curious to see how it scored and the comments given what I know one of the non-medal guys got. Must have been a hotly contested category.

I only received sheets for 1 of my 4 entries.
The score sheets were really well written and lots of comments, but it was one of those situations where they complement you all the way through and then give you a middle of the road score.
Not complaining.. I thought this was a middle of the road beer and only entered it to throw GTB another $6 and get some feedback

Gotta love that. Shouldn't the comments describe why you got 2/3 for this and 15/20 for that? "Dark almost black beer with good head retention for style" 2/3. ???

I am back to being disillusioned with competition for competition sake. I don't see the value in it really. Oh well

Well, it's kind of like Archery. You don't get into it for competitions. But eventually you get good enough and someone says, "you should put that in a competition". And you do and you end up placing. It's just fun for me. Granted i've only done 1 competition and i entered a beer knowing it wouldn't score well because i over carbonated it. But i like the feedback. I'm constantly fine tuning beers i brew more than once. Currently i have 4 or 5 that i rebrew each year. It's good to know from those with experience, of what you could alter to enhance the beer.
To each his own, i guess.

I'm really curious how the scoring was done. Do you know if there were more than 2 judges per style? All my scores have weird decimal places. My pale ale got a 44.7, which is impossible with 2 judges unless they were giving half points. This is why I'm really curious to see the scoresheets.
Then my IPA is showing a score of 13.5. I don't know how that's possible. I thought you got that many points for putting beer in a bottle and capping it. My only assumption is that it got severely infected somehow. But I still have it on tap, and while not as good as the pale ale, it's pretty decent. It's certainly not a 13.5. Maybe they transposed the numbers? Could it be 31.5? Hopefully I'll get the scoresheets this weekend.

Yes. 13 is the minimum I believe. That's insane.

Not really sure... My cover sheet has a score of 25.3, but the score online matches the attached score sheet average of 30.5.
I would guess those numbers are transposed. Unless that beer was terribly infected there is no way you should have gotten a 13.5. You have to have multiple major flaws to justify a score that low and you would be able to see that in the kegged version.

Any competition that is primarily scored by judges is BS.
He who competes with no has no rivals.

Yes
A kindred spirit
Eta: I do wish I had someone that could taste my Porter and tell me why it tastes the way it does. Not sure exactly what the issue is, just that its not right. Maybe too bitter, maybe astringent? I dunno.
