Looks like everyone is getting ready for summer with all the Wits!
I also have a Belgian Wit going right now. It was a simple recipe: 5 gallon batch 50% 6-Row (I used 5 lbs) 50% Unmalted Red Wheat (again, 5 lbs) 4oz. Acid Malt 1 pound rice hulls (unmalted wheat will cause a very sticky mash without these) .75oz. Bitter Orange Peel .75oz. Sweet Orange Peel .75oz. Coriander WLP 400 Mash @ 150° Add spices last 5 minutes of boil Hop to about 20 IBU with neutral to somewhat spicy hop such as Saaz, Sterling, Mt. Hood. Also tastes good with a neutral Noble hop. Grow yeast up in a starter to achieve ~250 billion cells (1.5l will work for fairly fresh yeast) Ferment @ 70° for 15 days. Carbonate to 2.5vols.

Yeah, it's a full size fridge and I've been using it to cold crash, but now I'll be able to hold temps anywhere I want them. Been sitting rock solid at 68° all week.

I did the homebuild of the ebay temp controller. I put it in a slick little radio shack project box. Total cost was about $25 and some time.

Hell yeah. Your brewing beer at home are you not?
Checked my IPA yesterday and it tasted pretty damn good but needed a little cold crash to settle out some yeast, so its in the fridge waiting to be bottled tomorrow.

Mine seems to work just fine and it is cheap. This is almost exactly what mine looks like (and rebel brewer is using the same controller), except I couldn't find a matching black outlet in my pile in the basement so my outlet is white, and no cool sticker. At the price they are charging you could build three.

My Rosemary Honey Saison is just about finished primary ferment, got an ESB split batch (Dry English Ale and Burton Ale yeasts) from a 20 year old recipe sitting in secondaries, and yesterday brewed up a "Mid-Atlantic Transcontinental IPA": British malts + American hops (Falconer's Flight.) Pitched it on top of the ESB Dry English yeast cake and fermentation kicked off in 3 hours.
![]() Anybody have experience with Falconer's Flight? Specifically, whether they would make a good dry hop for the IPA.

The Bobcat in Bristol, VT, makes a Falconers Flight single hop IPA that I always enjoy. Not sure if they dry hop it though. I tend to think any of the hops that add that citrusy character are great for dry hops. I love smelling fruit going into an IPA.

Must be the summer heat keeping folks from running a burner hours on end!
I'm brewing ten gallons of an Amarillo hopped saison as i type. I've got the ECY14 single strain saison to ferment it with. Tried to wake the yeast up last night with a small starter, no activity yet. Hopefully it's just a slow starter and not just dead... |
