It's brewed, in primary, and fermenting nicely. Pitched at about 11 o'clock Sunday evening and by
Monday afternoon at 8 it was bubbling away. This was my first counter-top partial mash, and it went surprisingly well. The best part was the cost cutting on the grains!! I wound up using 2 3/4 lbs grains (3/4 specialty) with 1 lbs of DME and a little over an ounce of hops. O.G. 1.031. Nice and low, I can't wait. I used Wyeast Forbidden Fruit for this, as well as some wheat, so it's going to have a nice wit-like refreshing quality. Once it's done fermenting, I'm throwing a pale ale on top of the cake. Basically I just did a giant starter. I'll post more once it's out of primary.
Oh, and the saison went into bottles Saturday. YES!! And, the honey ale finally carbed up. YES!!

Nice blog! Got the link from a friend who just recently started attending your Indiana club meetings. Curious, what was the finishing gravity on your table beer?
It dropped down to 1.006, but I'm guessing it's going to be even lower once it's out of secondary. Thanks for stopping by!
