Belgian table beer - inspired by DuPont Avril/Biolegere.

I'm going with a mini-saison recipe. Got a fresh sack of pilsener, and will add a little munich and some malted wheat. Mashing at 156 to try to retain some body. Shooting for 1.035, 20 IBU. Bittering with Mt Hood and finishing with saaz. Will ferment somewhere in the 80s with one vial of Saison yeast, and one vial of Brett C.

I'm pretty stoked about this one. I think I might reuse the yeast cake on a bigger saison and maybe even do a turbid mash.

Are you going to brew for this Paul? Don't let my awesome sounding beer scare you away! Laughing

Hey folks.. do we have room to share categories? I was signed up for Southern Brown, but after kegging my 4% Watermelon Wheat this hot-ass afternoon, I wouldn't mind calling an audible and competing with the "Quickshit Kid," (sorry Brendan, Todd gave you the handle, lol)

I could also enter the un-meloned version... but Todd, American wheat is your thunder on this one.

The reason I ask.... My 3 week old baby told me he wants me to take some time off from brewing... just while he's super small. I;ve got the green light soon. Very Happy

Working on setting a date in September for the party. FAMILIES WILL BE WELCOME, YOU BET YOUR SWEET ASS.

Was David G going to do an Ordinary Bitter or a Special Bitter (his post says Ordinary, list says Special)?

I would like to use up my ESB yeast... Otherwise I was thinking a Scottish 70.

Hmmmmmmmm Ordinary vs Special now which do you think I am?

All kidding aside, if I brew a 1.040 English Pale Ale it could be either as I read the style guidelines.

Ordinary is 1.032 to 1,040
Special is 1.040 to 1.048

The rest of the recipe is pretty similar but I will have to check that. Our goal is to brew something under 1.045 I guess. So either category will do. It just depends.

Who is the resident English guru fill us with understanding please.

I still am thinking I should do the Cream Ale but I would need help developing an extract or a partial mash ( 2 gal kettle capacity) recipe. If I can get some help I would do this style.

I probably won't make it on the 18th - it's the baby's 3rd birthday. I'll send my keg with someone though.
